I'll be heading up to Maine this week for a vacation, these 15mm Khazar are coming with me so I can start painting for the Fall In! Triumph! tournament.

I've fallen behind my schedule slogging through all these horses. They're pretty much down now, so I'm turning my attention to the riders. They got their various leathers basecoated and washed today, I need to highlight those next and then do the clothes, wood and accent colors. This is 31 of my 48 points, so hopefully I'll be able to get through the infantry quicker for the end of October.

8 days to go -- that's a lot of painting for just more than a week!

I managed to finish these up for Fall In! but wanted to clean them up and finish a few more horse bow before I took pictures. I need a few more bases, and I can add six stands of elite cavalry and four stands of light infantry, but this is a good place to stop for now.

Painting 15mm always seems to go quick, I finished these 15mm Slavic Light Foot for my Khazar army this week. I'd like to be able to double-dip with this army and play them as Tahirid too so they're be usable there too.

Those look great. Can you tell us how you painted the horses? I am always looking for ways to improve that process.

Thanks.
It's nothing special for the horses I used Coat d' Arms horse tone colors, there's around 6 of them. I lay a base coat down with one, over gray primer, and then hit it with a wash of brown, sepia or black (or multiple washes). After that I highlight with the base color, and then 2-3 more highlights or a lighter color or just add white into it. I usually darken the lower legs down to the hoof more with black washes.
What I really think sells them is the patterns around the muzzle and ears. I just looked at pictures and picked a horse tone that was close and followed the steps above again. The lips usually got some pink worked in there, and the eyes were picked out as mostly black with a little white towards the far back of the eye.

I will order some of those paints and try that method. Thanks!
