Thanks guys, picking a 3 colour combination for the pikemen means that they take a surprisingly long time to paint......... but it's kind of worth it in the end.
@Stormwind: these chaps were primed black, which was only because I've always primed anything under 28mm in black in the past. No more though, I've started priming everything in white now. In fairness, the goblins I'm painting at the moment get dulled down pretty quickly once a couple of washes goes over the base layer. We'll see how they come out!
In other news, almost finished my unit captain, and I've found a caster who has one of the figures to make a sample/test cast from. I can then get a painted example done. Just need to get more figures done to fill the mould, save up some pennies then there will hopefully be a modest number of units cast up. It'll take a few months to finish sculpting and get stuff organised, but things will happen and it's all rather exciting.
