Handgunner Champion

This is the champion for the classic handgunners. This is not a real new paintjob, but an old paintjob that was touched up (a lot) to bring it close to the standard of the rest of the unit.

Handgunner Standard

I converted a standardbearer for my metal handgunners. It was also my first attempt at a freehand banner. It's nowhere as good as I want it to be, but it'll have to do.

The standardbearer was converted from this artillery crew figure, by adding a greenstuff beard and feather and making a standard from wire and a plastic standard top.

90's Handgunners

After at least 5 years, possibly 7-8, I've finally finished off these empire handgunners that sat partially painted in a box for all those years. Since my painting style and skill evolved since then, these figures ended up somewhat of a hybrid paintjob (old and current). They are in the colour scheme I decided on back in the day, as a nostalgic return to the red, yellow and blue schemes of the early nineties. The 5 figures: A couple close(r)-ups:

I think I'll keep painting them for a while, already started work on a Marauder empire ogre and the steve dean forum charity fig.
