Wars of the Roses Archers - Quickshade Part 1

A while ago I purchased a box of Perry plastic Wars of the Roses archers (and billmen) to support our tabletop battles.

We needed levy archers that could be used on either side of our conflicts to fill out various regiments. I decided on a green and light gray livery with a rampant bear for heraldry. You get bonus points if you figure out what house wears this livery... but any points earned are immediately deducted for being a fantasy nerd.

For these figures I chose to implement the Saxon Dog painting technique: basecoat - Army Painter Quickshade - highlight. It is a speedy process that yields great looking miniatures.

Here are the figures in their unassuming basecoat colors. I used a big brush to work quickly with my Vallejo Game Color paints. It probably took me longer to assemble them and wire up their bows than it did to slap these colors onto them.

They look positively pedestrian at this stage. However, next up is the when the magic happens: Quickshade!
