Hi Chaps,
This forum has been a great escape for me and I usually use it to look at what other people have been up to so I thought I should finally share some of what I have been up to now that I have a mobile complete with a camera.... what will they think of next...
This is the leader of my small warband.
-
A nice scene. Well done
-
Indeed.
-
Leader of the Warband
What’s her name?
-
Thanks for the comments, none of my characters have a name yet but I will try and get her number. I can't remember where the figure came from but I believe its a Reconquest Mini.
-
A few of my Saga Early Saxon Army.
-
A chap recycling an old Roman watch tower
-
A few closer pics of the scruffy lot
-
I like the first picture. It reminds me of the old Angus McBride illustration from the Germanic Warrior Osprey book; the one with the Germanic warlord accepting fealty in an old Roman villa.
-
Thank you, I haven't seen the illustration you mention but I do have an old Osprey on the Dark Ages and Im sure it was illustrated by Angus Mcbride. I think I made the room whilst watching The Last Kingdom! I have a few little pieces I use as a backdrop though until now my camera was poor so have never used them.
-
Lovely pictures and models. I am painting up some Dark Age stuff at the moment and find a bit of a story line helps with the painting process.
-
I agree Modelwarrior, a theme or backstory can help one decide what to paint and what to build. A five minute drive from my home will take me to an early medieval (OK Dark Age) church whose first priest was a guy called Ughtred! Five minutes in the opposite direction and I can be in a churchyard littered with Templar grave markers, usually in England we are tripping over the history which can help set the scene for our little armies.
-
Beautiful painting.
Not all those who wander are lost.
-
Thank you Redshank, I like that quote!
-
Very good.
I like the walls in the first pic, nice idea.
-
Wonderful work.
Thanks for sharing.
-
Patrice, Bill thank you. I will put a few more pics on of my late Roman villa interior when I dig them out. I am currently painting some Gripping Beast late Romans for Saga, I think that they are my favourite 28mm figures, Gripping Beast really helped kick off the plastics I feel.
Last night after several beers I purchased Pillage from Victrix. I have read through the whole pdf-like a kid at Christmas I git up at 4AM to read undisturbed. Enthused does not cover adequately how I am feeling right now. (£37 including postage... worth it though).
-
That is a fabulous vignette - it oozes story-telling potential. The warrior miniatures are none too shabby either.
-
Thank you Odo thats very kind. The figures are resin prints-I have ordered a few more sets, my only issue now will be storage.
-
Thisis my almost complete Late Roman gripping Beast Saga army. Another 3 units and it will be done.
-
The levy seem to have one over enthusiastic member, he is either drunk or just enjoying having some time away from home! I have owned Saga for a few years now but never got around to a game, it seems that Pillage may actually be used first and its not even arrived yet!
-
Great looking army
-
Thank you Odo. I am waiting for the little big man decals to become available again so I can finish them.
-
Good figures and nice terrain. The one guy is just happy to be here.
-
Thanks Louie, I have just arrived in from work to see my Pillage ruleset has arrived! I looked like the happy bowman as I opened it!!
