League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Well Barry,

As always the paintjobs are excellent. Especially the battle worn look you manage on the figures is in my view a big part of the visual bombardment you are putting us through. How do you do it ?

Eh well that is actually something I would like to ask you. Can you help me (us) mere mortals in some of the ways you paint your figures the way you do ?

I for one am very curious on the way you paint which must be some very secret mixture of handling a brush and speed since you seem to be cranking out figures faster than I would be able to buy them

Hope I don't ask the impossible ?

And let me add to that a question on the flags. What type of linen do you use and what type of paints do you use on the linens? How are the flags then 'stiffened'? I'm sure you've said this many times in many other places but I do not have any WI or other similar magazines so I don't have access to those articles. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Gentlemen,
in response to your questions I have opened a new section in the WARCHEST called Quick n' Dirty Guides. It will contain brief guidelines to techniques which seem to generate the most questions. I have started with `Weathering your troops' which should address some of Rene's issues on the `campaign' look. More to follow, I'll try and get to flags next.
Done in PDF so that should make it easy for access.

Cheers

Barry
