Painting a 15mm Tibetan DBA Army: The Infantry

wodger begins his series on how to paint a 15mm DBA army well, in a reasonable time frame.

This weeks blog is a look at the latest units that I have painted to join my WOTR army – crossbowmen and hand gunners. I hope that you find it useful. link

I must say, you did a great job. The red crosses on the figures look like decals and not painted on. How did you get them squared off so well?

VCarter – thanks for your comments. The crosses were first painted on in red using thinned paint and I let the brush determine the width of the line. To get the squared edge, I corrected any errors by painting across the end of the line in the original blue or white if you see what I mean. That then tidies everything up. I hope that helps.

That's what I thought you may have done. Great job all around.

Perfect painting! From the iconography on the pavises I would class this is a Burgundian unit, though. Was there any faction in the WotR that used this coat of arms?

I think the shields are decals.

@Puster The images are the red saltire of Burgundy and the Burgundian 'flint and steel' image. The white and blue livery was used by several in the WOTR: Henry VI Duke of Somerset Lord Fauconberg Sir Richard Croft
