Great stuff, again, that Gamling model is really impressive...

excellent miniatures and so well painted. You must have quite the force by now and I would love to see everything together.

Hehehe, I haven't finished yet....still painted minis to photograph, plus I have unpainted stuff, and oh yes, I just ordered the "Royal Anglians" from Saxon Miniatures

These hardy warriors are all from Eureka Miniatures small, but rather splendid, range of 28mm Dark Age figures. I am hoping to fill out the ranks with a few more from them, and even a couple of special "civilian" items. There is an even split between decals & freehand on the shields. Interestingly the figure 2nd from right in first picture was originally armed with the angon, I replaced this with a standard spear. I like the variety of clothing & armour in the figures.

The Royal Anglians have arrived from Saxon Miniatures, so they will be joining the painting queue. I have also recently finished some civilians, another banner bearer, a converted casualty, and some other goodies...

I just found this thread and all your collection is superb!
And I'll repeat the words of others: It's not only the painting technique, but also the color palette you use that makes these fantastic figures look real! Many congrats!

Wow, those Eureka Saxons are quite nice aren't they? Your painting certainly showcases them.

. I may have to pick some up.

The majority of these are Gripping Beast stalwarts for the shieldwall, with the exception of Harold Horn-Blower. Perhaps a distant ancestor of Horatio, this Horn-Blower is a conversion using a body from Blacktree Designs, a head from Westwind's Dark Age ranges, a fur cape made from greenstuff, and a shield that I believe came from a plastic GW orc. Don't like to waste a figure if I can avoid it :-)
The shields are a mix of decals and freehand.
