I have made some progress with thiese miniatures since Part 1 was written. In fact they're finished now. Well, mostly, but I'll discuss that at the end of this post.
Before I finished the first ten models of this unit, I took stock in how many more of these 4th Edition WFB era mono-pose Archers I had left and finding only six of them, I decided to just paint them up also.
Oddly, I finished them first. I then worked on all their gems together before adding the leaves and tufts. Individually, none of these guys are going to get an award for 'Best Paintjob' any time soon, but as a collective they look pretty good I think. If there was one area I think could be better, it is their faces. Those crude faces are tough to make unfuggly.
Okay, so what's not done? Well, look front and literally center and you'll see the problem: that's right, the standard bearer hasn't got a standard! He's just running around with a big stick!
In part three we'll let that flag unfurl. Come back then and witness that process, as I think I got a neat standard picked out for him.
