Ghost Soldier Minions Painted - samuraitrev - 03-28-2021 08:14 PM
Hello again folks,
I wanted to get straight into these as I wanted to finish the Spectral Horseman and all his Minions before the end of the month. They're actually Minions for the Shadow Witch Villain too so there's 2 opportunities to use them.
These soldiers are from a company called Perry Miniatures https://www.perry-miniatures.com/. However I bought these from Ebay as I didn't want to pay for a boxed set. They cost me £7.20 ($9.93) for 3 sprues of figures (15 figures in total worked out at 48p ($0.66) per figure. Some research was necessary to find out the correct time period and army so I narrowed it down to the Continental Army would suit the time period (1775-1783). I'm sure there are other units I could have used but I thought these would be good enough.
I used a simple technique to paint these: white undercoat - Aethermatic Blue contrast paint - 1st drybrush Ulthuan Grey - 2nd Drybrush White Scar

Pros and cons of these miniatures:
Pros
Great value
28mm scale
thematically acceptable
chronologically suitable
pretty good detail
authentic uniforms (I believe)
Cons:
I would have liked more combinations of parts to make more poses.
Overall, I would grade these miniatures as 4/5.
Conclusion:
Hopefully, I pulled this off and got myself some convincing looking ghost soldiers. I didn't want to pay much and I wanted them done quick which I think I achieved. I think these will look pretty sweet walking over the town of Shadowbrook and I'm looking forward to using them.
As always, thanks for looking and please comment

Thanks OD. I was going out on a limb with this one as I couldn't find any colour schemes that I liked. Plus, I wanted to use a technique that was simple and effective.
