I have been testing a new (for me) painting technique of brown undercoat, block (ish) paint and wash. This is a method I am planning to use on my South-east Asian themed armies. At the moment they are Burmese and Khmer. I wanted a quick test to start with so an element that I could paint simply. I selected the Maiden Guard from the Khmer, for no other reason than the colours and that there is a lot of flesh.
These figures are 15mm tall so the detail that looks overdone in these photos is not so bad in real life, although I will need to redo the faces of the figures again. These are Irregular Miniatures and I am pleased with the way they look painted. Much nicer than their appearance in bare metal.
Nice result, apart from the faces, they have come out really well. ike the basing too.

Yeah … nice legs shame about the face 😆
Will touch them up later. Still, at life-size (in the hand) rather than twice life-size (photo) they have passed muster with the lady.

So basically you wanted an army with tits? I know its not PC to suggest it, but I know its the truth. 🙂
And yes, they do look nice. And I do like all the extra bits to help make the bases “pop”.
