Von der Heydte and Trap Teams

Hi all, it's Winner Dave and no word of a lie...I have my very first painted wargaming army.  With the final installment below of Von der Heydte and the infamous trap teams.

As these were the last platoon (ish), that I needed to complete I decided to take my time and do as good a job as I can.

With that in mind, I went with the layering technique.  So each colour you can see is at least three layers working from dark to light shades.  This is different to my normal style which consists of base layer, dark ink wash and then if I can be bothered a highlight.

Sorry the photos are a bit duff.




Thanks Winner Dave

  2. Thanks Dai, initially I thought the layering style of painting wasn't for me, but in the end I quite enjoyed it and am happy with the results. I think these are my best FOW figures so far...onwards and upwards as they say.

  3. The top two pictures are really good bud. You can see a lot of detail in the other pictures even if they didn't come out very well.

    Looking forward to playing your fully painted army!

    1. I couldn't get them working against Robin the other night, however I've noticed everyone plays a certain way...simply because I have them.

  5. Looking good, my man. Out of curiosity, what color did you use for the base edge. I have some hang up on choosing the base edge color: I never seem to be satisfied with my choices and second guess it all the time. The color you used matches well.

    1. Hey locker, I use a vallejo colour called Green Brown. I think it's a great colour and use it whenever I base anything
