Thureophoroi Completed

Finally got around to finishing off the other dozen thureophoroi to complete a unit of twenty four (you know when you have that group of figures that keeps getting pushed to the back of the queue...?).

Here's the full unit. Couldn't resist painting a few in pink ;-)

  4. Thanks, guys,

    One of my favourite troop types, too!

    "Bronze" is done off a dark base, usually burnt umber or black, painted a deep gold, washed in dark brown inky-type stuff, highlighted in the base gold, leaving some shade, and finally touching up the edges with a brighter gold colour. Sounds more complicated than it is. All colours Vallejo. If I get chance tonight, I'll post the numbers.

    Regards,
    Craig

  7. They look good and ready to do the business of dominating some terrain.
