Nice update. Thinking about those ACW epic battle lads. How about getting a silver marker pen and just putting either a line down the barrel of the gun or even just a dot on the top of the gun to emulate the glint of the metal on a musket. The colour you've used for the muskets is great and makes them stand out really nicely. As you say,you don't want to make them to dark.
Great update! I just received the Epic Battles ACW box. I'd like to record the bigger battles from the beginning to the end of the war(Hopefully). Beautiful work so far! It's a HUGE project. Keep at it!
Very interesting update. Like the epic chaps. You are right, from a distance they look good. A thin wash may help define the features but I don’t paint figures that small so it may not work. Bolt Action Version 3, I think the rules are now you buy a rifle platoon and that unlocks you to get any other platoon, but only one of each kind. However, if you want two engineer platoons you must first get two rifle platoons.
Brilliant update mate, excited to see those upcoming videos. ‘Toothpicks’😂 that’s just like one of my wife’s little comments, best go for a darker brown mate because if you anything like me it’ll be in your head for good now. I recently based up some terrain with a sand finish and passing by she said, “ooh they look like biscuits, what are they” lol…..needless to say I will be retouching them😉
I think the darker rifles did look better, although I know what you mean about possibly looking too dark when stuff is small scale......keep up the good work 👏
@rich_john thanks mate, I am going to try a contrast paint that's a slightly darker colour and if it looks ok I will do the rest. Just can't stop thinking cocktail sticks 😂
I'm looking forward to seeing what's in 3rd ed. I don't know if I'm going to re-buy all the army books though. So far what I know about it, it seems like it will be a lot of fun.
