I'm a bit late to the party here, but as others have said, thank you for such a great video. Generally speaking I absolutely hate painting Napoleonic cavalry (specifically the horses). The horses just never seem to come out looking "right". Your color selection/technique is one of the first I've used that's quick, easy, nice looking, and not a pain to clean up (looking at you, oils). Again, thanks!
Thanks Paul. Yes I hate painting cavalry as well. So decided to try some quick techniques. Luckily they worked out lol. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
Nice work Leon and thanks for this tutorial! This gives me a much needed variation in my horse colours - from the usual bay, grey and chestnuts. I will try using the Foundry Palomino triad with a slight variation. Those Uhlans look great!
Thanks Andy. I have a few more horse colour guides coming up as i work through all this cavalry. Yes the foundry triads are great and should work well. The only reason i don’t have foundry paints, is ease of purchase. Nobody near me sells them and i don’t want to pay postage every time i buy some lol
@@leont66wargaming31 I hear that. I picked them up at Historicon from Badger games who are out of Wisconsin. I have their Bay, Chestnut and Palomino triads for horses. I use the thin layered approach which takes longer but gives me the results I am looking for. Again your tutorial here is great and looking forward to the others! Cheers mate!
Thanks mate. I’m doing white next lol. However after that I’m going to do grey but with dappling. Then a lighter Dun or thorn coloured horse. Might do light grey with dappled effect as a final one. Depends how the others do lol.
Thanks Jim. I tried that same solution lol. Ended up with 2 bottles of Agrax that were shiny. 🤷🏻🤦🏻. Took them back to GW and swapped them. The new ones were shiny too 😆. So gave up and went with the mat medium
Back to the bigger scales tonight Leon, great miniatures. Leon go to your art shop and buy artists matt medium it is much cheaper as the quantities are more.
Second that ! Its the same stuff anyway ! And grab some dropper bottles off the net to squeeze the medium to drop into the paint ( the army painter ones are too expensive )
Thanks buddy. They are nice aren’t they. I’m trying to resist buying more of them. By the way excellent work on your buildings and sorry for not commenting.
