Just to echo everyone else I love the drab Franciscan/Friar robes, suitably Thorian I imagine. Perhaps the book is the Thorian Psalter I made up in my fluff :P This is definitely one of my favourite GW minis, they just don't make 'emn like this anymore.

The script in the book is excellent, really like the larger letter starting the page. Glad I could be of some help with gold highlighting. I think I learned it years ago from an issue of White Dwarf, don't remember which issue but is was back when they bothered to include painting articles.

I might suggest that it all depends on the size and state of the Army and it's ability to re-org before embarkation; ie there may be many understrength units which might be better re-brigaded by type/role. However, if they don't have the time to sort it all out, then they may Zzzzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02363838253700265309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-49048180263513931712013-05-21T08:46:15.913+01:002013-05-21T08:46:15.913+01:00Tamiya do masking tape in all sorts of wonderful s...Tamiya do masking tape in all sorts of wonderful sizes in those clear plastic snail looking thingies.

Interesting you should say that about the hazard striped - I might try that miniature stuff, since I just used regular before and it would 'bleed' yellow onto the black bits. If you used them on your cavalry well, there can be no greater endorsement than that!

What a brilliant way to put it - I usually explain the attachment of tanks and heavy arty to a full-dress, internal security unit, by having an old tradition whereby a sucessful unit, at the end of a campaign, is 'frozen' and all the atts are subsumed into a new unit, which is a snapshot of it at the end of the campaign.Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-34301965635893316562013-05-20T20:00:03.737+01:002013-05-20T20:00:03.737+01:00Cheers James - yeah I was glad the model had that ...Cheers James - yeah I was glad the model had that detail to paint on, as it wuld have been a bit bland without it.Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-87736292082840556002013-05-20T14:15:25.602+01:002013-05-20T14:15:25.602+01:00Beautiful work.

When I get to my Preachers they are so going to be brown after seeing this.<br />I'm a big fan of hazard stripes too. I find them hard to paint straight and even. I'm not saying that yours aren't but here is an easy cheat that I have found. Miniature masking tape. I have it in 6mm and simply cut it down to thinner strips. <br />Col.
