I started off in my usual way of dry brushing the figures with light brown.
This dry brushed layer will help shade the model when the Contrast paint is applied. It's also good for shading the wood on the pole arm too. I always shade the trousers using Contrast paint, but paint the torso clothes in normal acrylic paint. This just produces a cleaner look I feel.
Here is a Clubmen ready for some staining.
I was pleased with myself, as I found a hat for this guy. This is the sculpted head that comes with the figure, I kept a few of these originals for old times sake.
Once the base colours were blocked out, I gave the model a wash with strong tone brown.
I'm not sure if they need a dip in Dark tone as well, I haven't decided yet. It might just make the process of painting 40+ figures a bit much.
The weapon 'cotton' binding looks good when painted, definitely worth the extra effort of adding it.
My favourite conversion. It looks like most of these Clubmen have turned up wearing some kind of leather jerkin. ..very wise.
I've painted their white ribbons around their hats to show the field sign of the Clubmen. White ribbons showed they belonged to neither side but their own.
A warlord games figure, very nice character.
As I block in the colours I add mud and dirt stains when I have brown on my brush. Very lightly around the boots and leggings.
A motley crew start to gather on the village green.
Another jerkin, these guys will double as raw recruits too.
