I echo the sentiments of the others, those last three entries are very tasty. The Prof again producing a rather stunning Ancient German. Like the subdued blood stains on the Lieutenant's figure and love the yellow cloth on Figouze's gladiator. This is now the first post I look at when logging in.

I wish I could paint fur like the Prof. You have to show me in the summer!
The Gladiator is really cool. Welcome aboard, the whole think is so addictive.

zoom!

Here is my first entry:

Entry n.20, a Wargames Foundry Greek skirmisher





The figure is not based, because it's waiting for its friend. I'm still struggling with the flesh...
too many periods and games: Antiquity, fantasy, WW2, zombies, and VSF....

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. And another Celt!!

The striping you did on his clothing is lovely and I like the palette you chose. I must somehow find out what colours were used for clothing by Celts in this period. What kind of dyes were available to people then and what were the dyes derived from? I like bright colours but if it's not accurate I don't want to use them.

Here is the savage Sitlakes the leader of my Thracian Horse, a converted Foundry figure. I don't think Thracian's really used warpaint, but it gave him the look I was going for.  Enjoy!!

Entry No. 23: Thracian Champion

Great convertion, Tom, love this miniature on foot but on a horse it is even better!

And here comes Vitus, Roman republican patriot! Aventine did a fantastic job on this figure giving to it a great deepness of heroic character, combined with a relatively easy sculpt. Top notch, guys, keep it up, we need more of figures like that one on the district of miniatures for Ancients.

Entry Nr.24 (Roman republican patriot)

Quarter goal! Great idea with loads of even greater entries. I really couldn't withstand to participate in this project.

Ok... after haven't seen enough romans here:

Entry Nr.25 (Late roman archer)


Unfortunately the pic is a bit blurry though I hope to do some better ones on the next figures.
