New Cioporeporter' s painting guide, 28mm plastic War of the Roses...Part I

Our Cioporeporter decided to start a new army based for Impetus rules,
and obviously for DBA with larger bases... ;-)
One year ago we bought two boxes of the War of the Roses infantry by Perry miniatures,
so here' s the chosen army...
But which side first?
Cioporeporter decided for a retinue of Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, Lancastrian.
For your curiosity here' s the first part of our painting guide...enjoy :-)

How to assemble our retinue?

Assembled!

White primed...

First base colours for armours and jerkins...

 

Washings and highlights ...

Base colours for trousers...

In part II the final touches for our Men at Arms and billmen...

Happy Wargaming and Life to All!
