Speed Painted Late Romans

In a few weeks I will be entering The Analogue Hobbies Painting challenge with a Thematic Byzantine army that I'm putting together. Before the event, I thought it prudent to slay the demons of the Varnishing Disaster nightmare which stopped me in my tracks in last year's challenge after prepping hundreds of Late Roman miniatures!

I'm not really happy with the painting style on these miniatures so will be selling them. Not yet as I have another 8 of the Late Roman Celtae Seniores Auxillia Palatinum (Infantry) to complete first. Unfortunately there will be no more cavalry models as the first six were ruined by the varnish from last year.

They will be appearing in the Bazaar for sale when the last eight miniatures are complete.

You have very high standards

Very nice figures. Painted my late romans with same shield design. Good luck with the competion hopefully you'll put your army when finished on forum for all to admire

He is right, but I never spray in high humidity of cold temperatures. I've been at this game now for 30 ears and know what I'm about with varnishing etc
