Beautiful stuff Richard, I use the same varnish when varnishing individual figures but when working on a half dozen or more may I also recommend W&N Professional Matt Spray. I've used it for years and never had any problems with it, it's a little more expensive but well worth it in my opinion.

Thanks chaps, and cheers Jeff. I may well give that a try. Never come across it before. Thanks for the tip.

Finally got around to painting Arthur... :)

It's Bill T's Musketeer (now Footsore) version. A one piece casting, fabulously dynamic figure, albeit very slightly flat when viewed from the front or back! But apart from that - a beauty. Shield design is an LBM transfer, with a bit of weathering added by me. There have been a couple of these shown here recently, which prompted me to get on with mine!

The downside, is that I now have 14 more of these mounted Arthurians to paint... Ho hum...







This is how we ride down the Saxons...



With a couple of friends (I'm going to press a few Goth cavalry into service as additional Romano-Arthurians - I think they make more convincing companions to Arthur than the regular Late Roman cavalry... )





Up close and personal with the once and future king...

Lovely work on those Richard,I'm no expert on the period but I agree,the Goths would look great,to my eye, as Arthur's companions. :)

Top stuff Richard, a very regal looking Arthur. Good call on the Goth cavalry.

Lovely  :-*

I also really like the accompanying Goths as Arthurians. I like to think of Arthurian 'late roman' cavalry being somewhat less homegenous in appearance than true 'late roman' cavalry.  8)
