Feeling.....Sheep-ish

Things have been quite busy around the Duchy as autumn continues to turn blustery and chilly. The ECW Upcycle Project continues apace, with a number of units completed and several more in the queue. As we go along, it is now time to look at adding some fun bits and bobs. 

Hence why I'm painting sheep.

Somehow, in my brain, it makes sense to have sheep as both obstacles and objectives. So, a trip to the Noble Knight Games website, and 40-something sheep were soon on their way to the Duchy. 

They will play a part in my ECW games, as well as in my Jacobite Rebellion project and my Irish War of Independence project as well. One might have the cheek to even call them "battlesheep" as they swan about the pastures of the games. 

One might. Ahem. Or not. 

The latest unit to join the ECW family project is a red coated one.



I rather like how they turned out, particularly as the one red colour I used washed out against the grey Gesso primer. But the soft tone wash muddied it up a bit and the effect is quite nice to my eyes. 

Ah well. Back to finishing off painting more sheep and a couple of odds and ends ECW figures.
