I am sure you could do them in 6mm
that nice too

While I'd probably get things done quicker with 6mm I wouldn't have too many opponents. 10mm is the group's standard for WM. Matt and I talked about doing 6mm Samurai but then I saw 10mm Samurai and suffered from the "OOO! Shiny!" effect.

Anyway, a mid-week update to get some thoughts on the decals. I've only done one stand so far and then touched it up where it cracked along the edges. I see a couple more spots thanks to the macro where I can help mask the fact that its a decal, but what do you guys think? Worth it?

Looks good - the only issue I can see is that the left-side shadow on the banner makes it look like the decal isn't adhering to the contours of the banner. But I can't tell if that's just the picture or the way it actually looks.

Do you use micro-sol?

Yep, Micro Set and Sol. It's conformed pretty well, but ya that left shadow was one of the areas I identified for touch up.

Excellent work Dave,

The painted stands look fantastic, Would love to see some some 10mm samurai if you ever get round to painting any, also did not know they did 6mm, keep up the great work


regards epic

How did you print white decals? or were these printed by a third party rather than just on work/home ink/laser.

Anyway look great, if MWG does do 6mm high elves, i might be stealing that colour scheme

Apoc, in person they're a bit off-white with a lot of fine line detail and they're printed on a red background. No third party, unless you count Dave's other personalities. The crazy one decided on decals for every shield

With white decal paper, that's why I had to go back and touch up where the red background cracked.

Thanks Epic, the Samurai are years down the road though if I had to guess. They're currently OOP, so I'm hoping for them to come back into production or score some on eBay.

Got time to sneak one last update on these guys in for September. The painting and decals are done, I got them finished up yesterday and then hit them twice with Glosscote and once with Dullcote. They'll be getting based over the coming weeks, as I find time like I did with the archers, but the chariots and bolt throwers will be the main project for October.



These guys are my favorite of the bunch, I think the white star came out the best of all the decals I put together.



The face (in case you were wondering, yes I'll be referring to the brigades by these names in games ) is tied for second place, it looks all right but it's kind of small.



The crescent came in last. The decals on the shields don't stand out enough for my taste, they're too thin I think.



Finally, the wings were the other second place finisher, beaten out only by the star because it was such a pain to get them centered on the shields.

Those are some of the best WM stands I have ever seen. Great job Dave, the painting is superb, the decals really add the final touch. Really, really nice.
