The Zhodani Commando: Age of Chivalry: Condottieri Army Italian Crossbowmen

Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Age of Chivalry: Condottieri Army Italian Crossbowmen

Another group of dudes done for a friends Condottieri Saga Army. Just a few more to go and I will have the project completed.

Here are 18 crossbowmen. With all the assorted dress and no uniforms per say for the period it was hard to come up with a color scheme. So I decided I would break them up into three 6 man color groups and add some variation within each color group to make it appealing yet not drive me crazy trying to paint umpteen colors.

I think I succeeded. Now he will be able to break them up into 6 man units, or combine the different groups to make a nice looking 12 man unit.
