On the workbench - commission work

A pause from Seljuks and Crusades to do some Commission Work. I just started doing this type of work, having never previously sold a single painted miniature, and it´s going rather well. In fact - I have a massive pipeline of work already on order, so over the next month or so the comission work I´m doing will feature heavily here.

Last night I finished (all except basing) 6x Numidian Archers in 15mm (Corvus Belli is the manufacturer) for an ongoing Late Republican Roman FoG commission.

Numidian Archers 
Excellent miniatures and a pretty straight forward colour scheme, as the Numidians used plain unadorned and un-dyed  tunics.  Bases will now get a dark brown wash and then a khaki drybrush to make the miniatures "pop" and I´ll add some tufts to give it some contrast.

All my projected commission work are in this 15mm ancients area. Next up will be a unit which will be much (MUCH) more colourfull - Gaul Cavalry (as Cavalry auxiliaries for the same Late Republican Roman army).

Already done are a couple of units of legionnaires, Cretan archer support, a command base with a mounted praetor and a Fortified camp - all of which went without any photos, unfortunately.

Currently the commission queue is filled for 2012 :)
