Captain Blood's Twilight of Britannia... More Arthurians! (P.26)

[OSHIROmodels]

Sad to say, this tends to be my primary consideration with most wargames figures... 

You should be glad that we are such a forgiving bunch

Right then. Sorry for the rather long hiatus... Here we go with the next batch (finally!)

Grimbold the younger and his dad, Grimbold the elder.
Musketeer Miniatures.
I've started using the shield transfers a bit more assiduously now. I still think you have to faff around with them so much to blend and weather them in, that they don't actually save much time. But I guess for fiddly patterns they're worth the effort.







Next, two more bowmen for my 'levy'.
These are concocted from Gripping Beast plastic bodies and heads, Perry WOTR bow arms, and quite a bit of green stuff for added hairiness. I see these as old codgers who are past it for fighting in the shield wall, but who have hung onto the mail shirts of their glorious youth...







And finally, a couple more 'hearthguard' types. Again, Musketeer Miniatures and LBM shield transfers.
The horse skull and mane standard, I fashioned from green stuff...







And here they are together.

Here come the lads - English hooligans of all ages...



That's 25 of the little blighters down and done.
12 more to go to perfect my starter 6 point Saga-force.
I have the 12 lucky figures already selected. Now to clean them up and prep them. That's this weekend's job

Stunning!

English hooligans have never looked so fine.

 


Loving the work on that skull too.
 

[Dr. The Viking]

Brilliant captin! 

I am especially pleased to see that you agree that there's no such thing as too much purple! 

[Malamute]

Splendid stuff and again, great Greenstuffing.

[OSHIROmodels]

Loverly jubberly

I especially like the old codgers! 

[pocoloco]

Happy to jump on board, even though this late to the party.

Lovely brushwork on fine minis

When your doing 20 Imperial Romans they do Corking stuff as usual Richard, great work with the horses head, I may steal that idea for my Goths.

So who´s having fun with the green stuff, heh?   

Lovelly conversions and paintings.

[Thunderchicken]

One of the good things about reading this thread for the first time is seeing four months of marvellous work in one hit!

Bravo Capt. B! Stunning work.   

[tomrommel1]

These are very good looking like the bowmen especially nice conversion idear might lent it for some Stark bowmen. Really nice painting like always

[Captain Blood]

Thanks Tom, and all.
Yes, they'd be perfect for Stark bowmen
