Here is my most recently completed DBA army: Early Russians, III/78. This is an Essex army pack. I haven’t finished the Knight option yet, and may not paint the Horde at all.

Inspiration for shield patterns and clothing colors came primarily from Osprey titles and some creativity. My goal was to use a variety of bold colors without looking too bright or gaudy. I’ve also tried to keep trying new colors instead of getting stuck in a rut.

The figures are quite nice. Not all Essex figures are sculpted very well, but these have nice sculpting and a good variety of poses.

Unfortunately, there is a bit of hazing from CA glue on the horses from gluing the grass onto the bases. This has cleared up a bit after I took the pictures, so I don’t think it’ll be a problem in the long run.

Thanks!
I use a combination of washes and painted on highlights, depending on what I think will work better in any particular place.
