OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

The 1st of Andy Thompson's really rather nice dragoons, gravestones by Dave O'Brien, flora by Toggy
Plenty more of Andy's stuff to come

Lovely work from both artist and gardener! Who are they going to be?

Bob,
that looks fantastic
Bill,
It looks for me that he does not hiding behind the gravestone but instead scribling something on it
„Macht Euch Euren Dregg alleene“
"Sort your filth out by yourself!" The King of Saxony Friedrich August III., at his abdication 1918, referred to the quarrels in the parliament and the squabbling within the provisional government.

Andy's style is really nice. I particularly like: flat but warm tones on the large clothing areas, soft flesh tones which appear very natural in the day light of Bob's shot.
Toggy's now own's more painted Warfare stuff than I do! Meglomaniac!

Shucks, thanks guys
I think the basing really helps here, mainly because it distracts your eye from my mistakes! And the figures are also very easy to paint with good details where necessary and nice flat bits to work on too. So, I wouldn't dream of taking all the credit here.
Thanks for posting them Bob.

I painted them as Embdy's Dragoons - as in, whose Hob-nobs are those? Oh, Embdy's

Very nice Andy and Bob, you've both made a fine job of the dragoons.
Now we just need someone to produce the dismounted command
Cheers
