I only got one step done today on finishing up the minis. I probably could have gotten more done but the long car trip we took in the morning to take the boat up to be stored for the winter didn't agree with me. I'm feeling better now, thanks for asking.
I'm going with more vivid colors than anticipated when I started painting. This is Ultramarine blue. A nice purple-blue that fits in well with the silver and gold. The trim will be black, as will the emblem you probably can't see on his chest.
Belt and hilt, trim, boots and gloves, sword. Then I think I can call this rank done. I have two each of spearmen and archers yet to paint and while they're not all the same pose I can probably paint them all up at once as well. They'll go a little faster than these since I know the colors I'm using but since I do plan on doing the step-by-step it does take a little longer than if I were doing a straight paint job and posting pictures at the end. Not that much, since I would tend to stop at these points anyway. Just some more time in taking the pictures and posting.
I'm on the fence about primer color as well. I typically use white so I have the flexibility to use any color and it will show up nicely. But these guys are all dark colors. So I could use black and save myself a lot of undercoating with brown. It's something to ponder while I paint that difficult color - black.
As with the other posts, the collection of photos is below.
