Cretan archers from Newline Designs 20mm Ancients range, ready for Magnesia even if the Lost Battles re-fight slowly descends down the 'to do list'. I am not sure whether or not to give them a small shield, but it is something that can easily be added in the future should I feel the need. Cheers!

Nicely done. On the issue of shields I tend to believe the use of shields is what distinguished Cretans (and neo-Cretans) from other archers of the era. |

Brilliantly! I'd like to copy the technique if I may. What wash do you use and how much do you add highlights after (you say not everything is highlighted?). Thanks you and great work! |

Cheers! I'm thinking the same for the shields I need to do a bit of further research, either way I am hoping to convince Sean to produce some 'Neo-Cretans'. Yes of course Ney Ney, I currently still use Delvan Mud but I know their days are numbered and will probably try an Army Painter equivalent. Strong tone I think has been suggested but I need to look further into this. On these particular miniatures I did not highlight their flesh (except the face which I used Elf flesh), their footware, bow and quiver. I was for sometime posting on a separate blog a step by step on some of my previous projects, I have fallen out of the habbit recently but I should do it again because I often forget myself: link |

On the washes front I recently started using Vallejo Sepia Wash which comes in a 200ml pot. I'm getting some decent results with it though I paint it on rather than dipping as they suggest. link |

Cheers I'll keep this in mind! |
