As promised, I ordered my first pack of Perry Crusaders and received them in just eight days directly from the Perrys! I ordered a pack of standing spearmen to get started. After cleaning them up (there was very little to clean up) I glued them to their bases and base coated them with a water mix of GW Chaos Black and Renaissance Inc. black ink. I kept it thin since these figures are all mailed and most of the figure bodies would simply be dry brushed. I sped up the drying process by using a hair dryer. 😉
Next up, I drybrushed a layer of GW Boltgun Metal with a final drybrush of GW Chainmail.
I really wanted to avoid a real shiny look, preferring a more rough iron finish–I think I achieved it. Next up was flesh and hair on one of the bearded chaps.
You’ll undoubtably notice that the left hands are a bit sloppy. This is because they will be covered by shields! :p
At the end of the day I decided to paint a bit of clothing.
The day’s work. 🙂

Mike –
Your work is outstanding. Igor forwarded me your message – sadly no email on it, so using this channel instead.
We play Thursdays at the Compleat Strategist – starting in midafternoon and going until 9pm. You should post at our website http://warmongers.ziggyqubert.com/wmbb/ to arrange for a game, since WAB is not the club’s default – fantasy is.
As far as parking goes – its midtown NY, so not great. You can park on the street if you can find a space, or park in a lot if you have the $, but the easiest way to get there is train or subway.
Let me know where you’re coming from and I’ll be able to get you there quickly and cheaply. Hit me at jnobianchi@gmail.com

Oh – and on our site – go to the “other games” forum to get a game.

Thanks, John. I’d love to join you guys some time. I’ll create an account over on the warmonger boards. BTW, how on earth do you guys pack up your armies for a subway trip!?
