Sanquinary Guard (1st Batch)

It's been over a month and I've hardly done any painting.  Why?  Spring!!  Minus the allergies I love the Spring and I've been spending as much time outside as I can.  Now it's turning into a normal Texas summer and it's starting to get really hot outside.  SO, I'm back to painting.

Taking a break from the Mexican Revolution to knock out a unit of Sanguinary Guard for my cousin (and Dante).  He gets a bit bored with painting so I offered to do his Sanguines for him.  I think the models look really cool and wanted to take a crack at them.  Nothing super fancy with my paint jobs but I think they turned out pretty well.  Here's the first two.  He's going to finish the bases himself.

It Takes A Village...

Wow.  I'm totally excited.  I ordered these buildings from Crescent Root Studio a couple of weeks ago and found them waiting for me on the doorstep when I got home from work.  It's always a risk ordering something just based off pictures on the internet, but I have to say these went beyond my expectations.  I'm a fan!

Oh the scenarios.... I've got to get to painting Federales first!

Here's a link to their site:  Crescent Root Studios

A Few More For Pancho Villa

Here are a few more.  5 more to paint and I'll have my initial 2 troops of 12.

More Villistas

And here's even more!  I'm really starting to have fun painting these guys.  I think it will really turn out to be a colorful army.  These miniatures are also from Brigade Games.

Mi Capitán!

With all these Villistas looking very similar I wanted to be able to have a unit leader that really stands out.  My solution was to give this guy a really colorful serape.  I plan to keep the others fairly bland or two-color only.  So here he is... my captain for my first unit.  He is also from Brigade Games.

Redo of Basing

I wasn't happy with how the bases turned out so went back to the old faithful round washers.  I'll still keep the magnetic bases for when I game with groups wanting square bases.  Thanks to the magnets I can just attach them to the washers temporarily for the game.

2nd Batch of Villistas

Here's my second batch of Villistas.  These are from Brigade Games, just like my first 5.
