Mounted Varangians Medbury Miniatures

      Technically, Varangians fought dismounted but someone asked me to paint up these miniatures as an offshoot of Varangians. I opted for a reddish brown cloak to unite these figures together unlike their dismounted cousins I painted with a scarlet cloak. I chose to do so to give them the look of any dark age mounted arm if needed. The majority of horses I painted with TT combat paints and cloaks were painted with the combat paints likewise. TT combat paint has some nice colors with built in gradient colors with subtle transitions which I really like. The following colors were used for the cloaks with resistance rust as the base followed by rich brown then honey comb brown and adding a small amount of mild curry to the comb brown for a final highlight. TT combat paints are very nice and the price is inexpensive. As for the Medbury miniatures they are spendid and I would love to see Medbury expand significantly in the dark ages range. As these are for another individual they are unbased.
