Iberian Horse Rebased

Back onto the rebase here, actually these were part of the big push of my Punic war era Newline Designs 20mm cavarly I did late last year. This update shows the Iberian cavalry both heavy and light. I usually take these rebases as a chance to check over and update the paint job but I left these as is. A simple removal and remounting of the figures. I have a spare light cavalry man and another standard bearer so with the addition of one other I can boost the light unit into 4 bases not that I'll need to do that but it'll be good to use those 2 spare painted figures. Work continues on the late Roman painted examples for the Newline store and classic Heroquest miniatures.

Late Roman Auxillia

A couple more codes painted up from Newline Designs 1/72 Late Roman range. This time the two Auxillia codes. I was quite pleased with the "white" tunics, I used Vallejo Beige, Citadel sepia wash followed by highlight of Beige, then I introduced Vallejo Ivory into the mix which I blended on the wet palette untill I had the desired shade. I didn't use straight Ivory like I planned but I liked the finish. I tend to apply a basecoat, wash and highlight in the original colour but since moving to a wet palette I have found mixing shades satifying and end up with a more pleasing and subtle highlight, aided by the fact that its an extra level of highlight. Just to note the swordsman came with a spear but the angle of the forearm was crying for a sword which a made out of plastic card.

Altogether the two codes work well with each other:
