In an effort to try to manage the humungous amount of lead I've built up over the years, I've been experimenting with different mixes of washes, Lahmian Medium Speedpaint Medium, Contrast Medium and Army Painter Tones first on Middle Imperial Romans and now on Wargames Foundry Franks. I think I'm getting closer to a solution what do you guys think (please)? More images and discussion on my Just Add Water Blog here:

I'm impressed by the shields--I don't think I could get consistent curves or even the consistent straight lines you have done. I also like the use of lighter colors on the poorer (aka unarmored) folks. You can get more colored cloth from a vat of dye if you don't let it sit and soak so long. Grelber |
