Hello Guys! here are a couple of things I have been painting these days:

First, a Spanish commander for my 30 years war "Nördlingen 1634" project. It could be my Army commander or one of the "battalia" commanders ( I´m using Pike & Shotte). The miniature itself is from Warlord Games ECW range, the Earl of Essex, but I painted it as a Spaniard like me :lol:

I got inspired by this painting from the cover of a "Desperta-Ferro" magazine special for 30 years wars... wonderful in my opinion
Image

The Second paintjob is a saker gun , again from "Warlord Games" this represents a Spanish medium gun for 30 years war... Next will be a Swedish leather gun.

Thank you mate, of course, I used "khorne Red" as a basecoat, later on I washed it with "carroburg crimson" shade paint... Later I highlighted it with Khorne red a little bit diluted with tap water, then a second highlight of khorne Red and "Mephiston Red" at 50% and a drop of water (all this paints from GW range) and another highlight with Mephiston red only... as a last highlight I mix up a some Vallejo Vermillion with Mephiston red for the last touches of light ;)
Cheers !

Wonderfull job, I'm always jelous, how good some people can make the warlord Pike and shot figures look(both metal and plastics)

I've never been able to get them to look good. not the plastic infantry or metal.
