Finally, some more painted minis: armed and dangerous slaves

It has been indeed a while since the last time I showed some painted minis. I'm particularly tired and I don't really feel comfortable painting during the evening. I rather prefer reading... You know what I mean.

Cela fait un bout de temps que je n'avais pas montre de figs peintes... Je suis creve en ce moment, et je prefere de loin, le soir, me poser avec un bouquin.

Before showing you the new stuff, remember Tamsin is giving away some wonderful stuff! So go there and enter. And Daddy needs some 28mm ;)

Continuing my Spartacus army, I've painted  two bases of trained slaves. They look difinitely less Hollywoody than the others, but I need to distinguish them easily. Therefore, I've chosen a lot of mail- armoured figures, from Xyston and Corvus Belli, to create a nice mixed appearence: Legionaries, Soldurii, Nobles, Carthaginian veterans, Principes... I also gave them Roman shields or Scuta. I think they look okay.

J'ai toutefois repris la peinture de mon armee Spartacus, avec, cette fois-ci, deux socles d'esclaves entraines. Je voulais creer un effet moins hollywoodien, avec des troupes equipees a la romaine. Pour cela, j'ai pioche chez Xyston et Corvus Belli, et j'ai donne a tout le monde des boucliers romains ou des Scuta. J'ai de plus change ma technique de peinture pour le bronze: bronze de chez Vallejo, puis or, brossage leger d'argent, et enfin lavis sepia. Qu'en pensez-vous?

I've also changed my techniques of painting bronze: Vallejo Bronze, then gold, then silver light drybrush, and finally a sepia wash. What do you think?
