Lunar Tarsh Cataphracti

Enkele Cataphract eenheden van het leger van Lunar Tarsh.  Figuren zijn Pendraken 10 mm.  De bedoeling hier was verschillende methoden voor schilderen en basen te evalueren.
These are a few cataphract units from the Lunar Tarsh Army.  Actually it's a basing and painting test to compare painting and basing methods.

Painting new units for my Tarsh army

Ik heb een aantal tips gekregen op het forum van Pendraken, en heb deze nu eens uitgeprobeerd op een stelletje 10 mm minis.  Ik probeer in een volgende fase nog een fotootje te maken.

Following some pointers I got on the pendraken forum I tried this new way of painting strips of 10 mm miniatures.  I'll try to report on how it comes along

Army of Tarsh

I started work on the Army of Tarsh in 10mm, using the HOTT ruleset.

  

I ordered a first batch of 10 mm mini's from Pendraken to build a few test units.  I started by gluing them on a piece of wood, then primered them in skeleton bone colour.

After that I started painting them in light colours, taking care to make repeat movements and not leaving anything unpainted.  I then liberally washed them using the new vallejo washes - colour burnt umber.  The results definitely will do the trick on the tabletop.

Here are the units to be made and the types:
Kings Own Lancers - Cataphracts - Knights
Phargentites - Cataphracts - Knights
