Thank you all! :)
I had a "group shot" but it turned out it was out of focus. I'll make a better one tonight.
So far i've got 8 archers and one knight done, another 7 knight and about 30-40 footmen to do... the road ahead is pretty long!

Well, I just found out that the 40mm base I made is on a 4mm tall plastic base, while i'm basing everything on the new 3mm tall plastic ones.
I guess I had to make new ones.



I know, i'm a bit overzealous on bases, but it's really stronger than me.

Cheers
Jack

This is just stunning. I can't believe I missed this thread. (Makes me wonder how many other gems there are out in the LAF wilderness waiting to be discovered). I really hope you get the chance to finish this force - you have the holy trinity of modelling, painting and photographing skills.

Following with great interest.

You're all too kind! I'll try to do more soon!

Thank you! My problem with painting is that i'm dreadfully slow...Which really slows down the modelling+photography combo. :(

Some update on the bases: Now the 3mm thick bases are done for the cavalry. I've done 9, so a possible mounted warlord will have a ready base if needed. :)



Still only one horseman is fully painted, but with the new bases i'll be motivated to do the rest!

Aha! The joys of living near a birch tree! Lovely autumnal bases.

I wish. But the pack I bought from Antenocity about 10 years ago is still half-full, 4.50£ well spent.

Thank you! I will try!

I'm writing now a tutorial for the autumnal bases. I've took all the step-by-step photos, i hope it will be of some use for y'all!

Thanks! :)

So, my wildly unpainted and unprepared band will see the table tonight at the club!





I'm trying to motivate a few fellow players to jump in with SAGA. It is a lightweight game compared to most of what we played, but if this helps attracting AoS players or such...

The painted ones look amazing so far! Thanks for posting the basing tutorial too!

Silly question but who's your leader character in the center? Looks like an interesting pose!

Is that the CMON dude who's wiping his sword clean?  I thought I saw a pose like that.
