Frothers Unite! UK

Last year, rather rashly it has to be said, I volunteered to paint a force of Resistance Fighters for McFonz's forthcoming Salute game. Considering I hadn't painted anything to completion for years this was... foolhardy? Over ambitious? Fucking madness?

Needless to say I left it all far too late and the results are not the best, but I hope they look pretty cool as a force. The photos flatter as things are a bit muddier in reality and I managed to balls up at the last hurdle as some of the Dulcote is dodgy. Fuck it. It's got me painting again, though from now on I'm going to do it properly, not just base coat and two washes...



The Resistance Commander (centre) with Lila, Eva and Rosa as support. Tilly will act as the command of the third section (which I haven't got time to finish ).



Each fireteam is themed by head gear and colour of trouser/jacket. This was done to help gamers know which fireteam is which but it probably isn't half as clear as it should be!



There you go. No one is allowed to look too closely at them on the day. Ok?

Nice one

Are you coming down for it, Andrew? Had vaccinations and everything?

Gorgeous stuff, makes the ones I did look like the daubing of a 5 year old.

Sadly they're not letting me cross the border.

Part of the reason for doing this was that it would force me to finally make the trip, but of course it's not happening. Spent the money on a wood-burning stove instead, so I'm warm, if antisocial. They'll be in the post to Matt tomorrow, Special Delivery.

Next year! ...

@Duff: You won't be saying that if you see them in person. Seriously, it's just flat colours then a wash of Army Painter strong tone, then soft tone.

Edit: I didn't even paint the eyes...

Well you can fuck off then, you hack.

It's true, I am.

What's the map number of the Frothers games? I want to do some facebook pimping.

Ta!

Looks great. If I was going to be picky, I'd have to say I would love to see a little closer, and a little brighter lighting

No!

(you'll just see all the flaws )
