The title says German Peasants War but it could be any European army of the period and is designed in such a way that with a bit of surgery you can have either a pike or halberd.
The primed figure.



I think the halberd is the better version. The face has been painted with Titanium white + Burnt Sienna and a touch of Indian Red for the cheeks. The hair with Burnt Umber and highlighted with Naples Yellow, all oils.

Halberd definately Rog, the pike while possibly even short for the real size, just doesn't look right. The pike head also looks a bit cartoonish

Will be following this one. Hope to be trying again with a metal traditional flat soon.

Thanks fella's.
This is part of a large series from the Bauernkrieg but when the rest get done, if ever, is anyone's guess.

Hi Roger, good start. Think the figure will look great again when you are done with it! As always!!

Yours Thomas

Roger, a great start as usual , will be following.

Cheers Ken

Thomas, Ken Thanks for commenting.
Here's where I'm at just now.
Base colours applied and a bit of shading. It looks a bit rough at the moment but hopefully it will smooth out as a shade and highlight further.

Already better than what I would say is finished

You're doing great Graham. Don't be afraid to push the shadows further.

A bit further.....
