My Kofun Nara Japanese

frederic · Post by **frederic** » Mon Aug 22, 2011 6:36 pm

With an order to increase my Kushan range, I've bought some bowmen from Khurasan Miniatures Kofun Nara Japanese range.

When I received them I found them odd so focus my painting on the Kushan Cataphracts and LH. Then I started painting some Roman for my Palmyran but getting bored with Romans I decided to paint the Kofun Nara bowmen.

I should say they are really well casted and easy to paint.

Now I only have 3 miniatures left to paint and so will impatiently wait that the Khurasan online shop come back to full open in september to order what's needed for a complete army... and I will have to go back painting the romans this week-end.

Here are the pics

I still have the basing to do, but for this army I will wait the complete army to be done before doing this.
As I'm really long to finish any army I've start, bases from the beginning looks sometimes different from the one at the end, because of a different sand, different painting colours...

Very nice figures and very nice painting! What is your painting technique for the armour please? Do you paint silver and then do a black "ink wash" or do you paint black lines?

Pas en entier, mais j'espère les archers sup et les généraux car je pourrais alors me servir de mes spearmen chinois pour compléter.

Thanks Zoltan,
I use black paint first then a "fortress grey" brush. It looks really fine in real. On the photos with the camera "flash" the matt varnish looks too gloss.
I only use ink wash from GW on the face, hands, clothes and bow, after a white or light brown brush.

bravo à toi
et merci de partager

j'avoue que j'ai une tendresse pour cette firme qui s'est lancée sur des chemins peu utilisés

I finished to paint all the miniatures I had this week-end starting a grey BG.
Now I urgently need Khurasan to open back his store cause I'm back painting roman but with no real enthousiasm.

Very nicely done!

Shooting for a full reopening by the end of September to early October -- a trip for a week out of the states set me back a bit. When we're back we also plan to release the neo-Assyrians and Caucasian states.
