This is the third painting Guide supporting the 6mm Charity project that has now started (you can read more about it in a previous blog here). There will be a total of 4 painting guides, covering Horse, Dragoons, Foot and Artillery of the Baccus Wars of the Sun King Range. Here some links to the other ones.
We will start this one at Step 5 – which is the painting stages (I highly recommend that you read Step 1 to 4 in the First painting guide as it covers some things that are important in preparing the miniatures and yourself for the challenge, a link is provided here).
Starting with the Dragoons that is very similar to the Horse in Guide 1 (the main difference being a drummer instead on the trumpeter and the troopers are holding their muskets not the swords).
Step 5 – the Painting (depending on how you access this you may just see one picture, but it is a slideshow with the steps)
As before the grey with the inkwash gives a nice balance for your shading and depth. 
Paint the coats in the base colour, this being a Denswe unit with blue coats. 
I also did the Pistol holsters and the drum blue 
Next the Cuff colour (yellow), I thought the standard (flag) would be nice in yellow too. Some units have some hat lace (this one has yellow for the Troopers, I brass (or gold) for the officers and a blue and yellow braid for the Trumpeter (he also go a a few dots of yellow to represent a more elaborate coat. 
The saddle blanket also got some yellow 
View from my helicopter 
Some metal on the officer sword and the drum 
Skin colour 
Brown for standard and muskets 
A little bit of red for added to the standard, some on the officer cutt and the saddle blanket border for teh troopers. 
Paint the rhythm stick 
And teh drum skin 
Some white for horse socks and face. 
Metal for the muskets 
and sword details, 
added some white to the blanket roll 
The final wash bringing it all together.. 
Done…
/ Hope that was of some interest, oh and by the way, here they are on their base.
