I may add once more that your pics are wonderful!
May I ask, the last backdrop is handmade? A waterpaint?

Fantastic models -- very understated and natural but still individual and with plenty of personality.

I found it online somewhere, it was free to download & print.

Next up are a couple of Gripping Beast miniatures that I originally painted up several years back as part of my "Arthurian" collection. I have since parted with most of my figures for this era, and wanted to see if I could re-purpose these for slightly later centuries. I stripped off my original paintwork then cut, filed & carved off the cast on oval shaped shields that they carried. The figures were then given round shields & repainted. I painted freehand designs on both shields, taking inspiration from Rohan designs - as seen in the movies. I think they can now pass as either Middle Anglo-Saxons or warriors from one of the Welsh Kingdoms.

Beautiful painting. I think they work well as Anglo-saxons. Going through your thread, I was especially amazed by your wonderful Dart Age village. Great little details, very inspiring.

Neat and detailed paintjob you did there!
And the painful work you did to transform them really pays off!
Many congrats!

Here are a couple of casualty figures I painted up - the kneeling figure is from Gripping Beast, I think the other is from BTD. Have been slowly building up a few casualty figures for my collection - ideally it would be great to replace every fallen warrior with something like this in a game.
