The 'General' and his specialist weapons (I used the mortar crew for the general, I think with his greatcoat and binoculars he looks much more important than any of the others).
Rank and file (rank in more ways than one)
Plague Dogs.
Painting was pretty much as standard. I'm not completely happy with the skin tones, I don't like the official pink but I wanted to go for some sort of 'off flesh' colouration. I played around with various combinations of flesh base coat and washes, then I hit the least garish one with Army Painter Softtone wash (the same colour as the lightest dip). This pretty much gave me what I wanted, but meant that if I was using the softtone dip rather than strongtone I would have to wash some areas before the dip.
The dogs have different base coats, one is a light grey, the other bone white.
Clear bases again, and I had a few minor issues with smearing superglue. I will see what can be done (very little I suspect), but they don't look too bad.
That basing does look good. I think I'm converted in principle but I'm far too lazy to base all my own Plague this way.
