I really like this painting style. Hell the under coated figures look good enough on their own!

I've done a unit of Dacian cavalry using this method now and am impressed. Results are very good. thanks Olddorg.
I presume that you use some different humbrols for different horse colours.
It makes the figures easier to paint as the detail stands out.
Thanks for the tip!!
