My first 15mm Swedes...

[Trench_Raider]

With the release of FOG-R I'm in the process of building a 30 years War Swedish army. This is my first unit: the Yellow Brigade, obviously!

This also marks the first time I've painted any 15s since I changed my painting style completely about six months ago. These are figures from Old Glory 15's TYW range.








I'm always my own worst critic, but I think these turned out fairly decent. Next up on the block is the Old Blue brigade, the Red Brigade, and a unit in grey uniforms that I have not decided on the flag color for yet.

Thoughts?

They are very nice, TR. I particularly ike the yellow uniforms and standard, which are hard to get right. One thing that is probably not historically accurate but which I do like the looks of is to paint pikes, spears, lances etc. a lighter color, like straw. It really makes them pop out and look more 'prickly'.

The only thing I don't like is not really within your control, and that is the small number of minis in a unit at 15mm. I don't mind this in ancients as much, but as soon as units have large, distinctive unit flags they begin to look like reinforced color guards. Not an issue to most people, I know.

Anyway, I think you have a splendid unit there, and hope it brings home many a victory for you!

Nice one Trench. Inspires me to get mine sorted.

Do you not paint the bases? You can still see where the wood is pressed together. I use Apple Barrel Chocolate Bar around all my bases and think it looks really nice.

Nice job!
You used "smoke" paint for the darker shades, right? That's what I use in my figures and it works very well.
As your yellow is not too much bright, it looks realy natural.

Keep up with the good work.

What is your opinion on the OG figures?

Cheap & cheerful in 15mm, I like them a lot and always try to buy them given the choice.
