The Dogs - Spring Clean Challenge 2026
Marksmen of the Lady in Yellow
A small unit of marksmen to add a bit of extra pop to the shooting phase. These are Griffin Fusiliers by Confrontation with two Griffin character miniatures added to take them up to a unit of eight.
Painting
I used A mixed Speedpaint to get the dark green colour, 4 parts Turnbull Turquoise to 1 part Absolution Green. Then a nice high contrast from the Honey Yellow. Satchel brown for the leather and Runic Grey for inner clothing. Metal work as per previous units. The usual matt varnish stage after the first colour application before putting the metallic highlights on.
Glasses and lenses
The marksmen all use glasses and telescopes so I brightened the lenses with white acrylic before a brush or Pastel Indigo Speedpaint into the bottom half working up from the lower left segment. I have found doing glasses tricky in the past but I was very happy with the results of this experiment and will do glasses like this from now on.
