Firelight dancing off burnished blade
A Forestman sits
Wondering about the next day
But after three mugs of ale
Let it bring what it may.

Hi Redbeard, I used the paints from a model set called WarHammer. It comes in a small amount, not too expensive and looks great! I unforunately am digital camera handicapped right now or I would post my collection. I will say that if you are going to play "rough" with your figs it does scratch away after a while. I was going to coat it with something to protect the paint, but it makes the parts way to shiny. You can find this kind of paint in any Games Workshop store or any model store. Hope this helps.
