   After a 30 year break from Napoleonics I saw the Lasalle rules, excellent Victrix plastics and decided to use my "dip" method (developed on Hordes Skorne) to produce these fellas:

   

   

   I was pleased with the effect, especially considering I didn't use any white or black on any of the figures (other than the white undercoat) and it only took 7 weeks to paint 150 of them! I used the Strong Tone AP dip with no highlighting other than P3 paints "Menoth White Highlight" on uniforms and "Umbral Umber"/white highlight mix on the grenadiers bearskins.

   Dipped French in campaign greatcoats next!

   That is a great job, I particularly like restrained colour of the pink and yellow facings.

   Really look sharp.

   Wow, Nice work. I have never used the dip method, but now I see it is really effective on 28mm figurines.

   Doc T, they look great. Did you use Minwax Polyshades or the Army Painter for the dipping? I hear they are one in the same just different labels.

   What color dip did you use?

   For the dipping method, I'm found of the Minwax Ployshades "Tudor" color. However, of all the colors, this one seems to be the hardest to find.

   Disregard the questions I asked. You did say, "I used the Strong Tone AP dip".
