Thanks Stuart, great job. The black caps you mention are actually rubberized covers, so anyone having trouble with the cap bands could just as easily paint them black.
Thank you, I should definitely read more and not just look at the colour plates in my books 😂. That’s a great solution to speed up/make some painting easier though, cheers.
@@MiniatureRealms No kidding, I've also got the British and French Waterloo starter sets in front of those Prussians. but they arrived late to the battle anyway.,,, that damn Blucher! 😆
I acquired some of these from my war games illustrated mag,(5 sets), which have basic features the finesse has yet to be made, this was instructional and inspirational. I have had several boxes of French/British Infantry as well, all painted yet for basing, next cavalry then rules for adapting Cheers
Fantastic job Stuart. I paint al lot of these figures myself so know how difficult it is to make them stand out at this scale but as always a fab job 👍
Another great tutorial. One of my favourite regiment types on the waterloo battlefield - chocked full of character. When I get round to buying and painting mine, I'll be using contrast paints. What would you say would make a great contrast alternative to army painter's cloudburst? Ultramarines or Leviadon blue?
Thank you, and completely agree about the character, I’m really attracted to the look of these sculpts, enjoyed painting them as well. Where I’ve not used Cloudburst (I used it on French before Clouburst was released), I’ve found Ultramarine slightly better than Leviadon. If you were painting both French and Prussians you could use Leviadon as a point of difference however.
Thank you 😊. I used mostly a 2 and a 1, it’s all about how good the tip is really, a new and/or well conditioned size two should have a good enough point (shape of bristles do come into it a little as well).
It’s a Regrass Games painting handle, available in lots of places, including Amazon (though I think the orange putty on top now comes in a different colour).
@MiniatureRealms it seems we both can get carried away though I've also got like thousands more random stuff I've spent far ti much on em but good luck with yours
I was reminded of these little figures when I painted Warhammer 40k Epic figures. These too, can take a lot of patience. :)
That was a great game, many happy teenage memories playing Epic 40k.
I love these guides. How about a special on skirmishers across all ranges/Nations?
Thank you. 🙂
I’ll get that idea to my list.
I have been waiting for this one
Hope it doesn’t disappoint 🙂
Another great video, Stuart!
Thank you 😊
Fantastic information,….planning to make a huge dive into this line!!
Thank you 😊. It’s a great range, have fun.
Nicely done.
Thank you 🙂
These look great 👏👍
Thank you 😊
Wonderful tutorial, they look brilliant. Thank you very much. I really like the yellow band on the caps, it makes the figures pop. 😊👍
Thank you, you’re very kind 🙂
Excellent stuff stuart
Thank you 😊
Fantastic video, I always learn new techniques and tips from you videos :)
Thank you Aled, very kind as always 😊

@@MiniatureRealms They would likely be mixed into the units as well, gives the Landwehr that typically ragged look.
That’s a good shout, likely something I’ll do when I get around to doing my full units.
Thanks for another great tutorial. My Prussian starter set hasn't arrived yet...but no worries, I'm still working on painting all those ACW figures!
Thank you. I’m sure many of use will be working our way through both sets of figures for many years 😅😂

Great tutorial 👍 I’m gonna give it a go😬 what size brush did you use?
Thank you 😊. I used mostly a 2 and a 1, it’s all about how good the tip is really, a new and/or well conditioned size two should have a good enough point (shape of bristles do come into it a little as well).
What is the thing (blue and yellow) you have mounted the line on?
It’s a Regrass Games painting handle, available in lots of places, including Amazon (though I think the orange putty on top now comes in a different colour).
what contrast would you use in place of gravelord? Bascilum?
Yep it’s a pretty close match.
Well you see my problem is I have 5k of the buggers due to warlord books
😂 Yeah I have quite a few in my backlog
