I like, probably most wargamers am a little bit of a butterfly. I saw a YouTube video by an American called Project Wargamer who was doing 6mm ACW. His painting approach sparked my interest and I just happened to have some 6mm Baccus WSS troops.
I have always like the WSS period and I feel that 6mm will look great for this conflict.
So the first thing I did when I was back at my painting table was get out the 6mm WSS packs. I decided on the Bavarians at Blenheim.
Below is a pictorial guide on my test unit...
The figures for my first battalion sorted. 43 figures including 6 grenadiers and 7 command figures
My proposed base layout. 3 ranks to represent the formation style of the period with command front and back.
A simple light spray with white undercoat.
The block painting begins
The finished results, of the painting. It looks a little basic because it is but it is all there.
In the above pictures the basic paint job has had a slightly watered down Army Painter Strong wash applied. I think it really brings out the details.
Initial basing, ie the sand. The base size is 80mm x 40mm
The labels means I can identify each unit on the table.
And the competed unit.....I think they turned out ok.
