I ordered the "Of Gods and Mortals" Celt Deal in september and read afterwards that it would not come out until late october. Could not wait that long so i got out a few heroic figs from my old celt army from 10 or 15 years ago and repainted the bits that i was not happy with.
Also it gave me a reason to order those lovely celtic/northern italian hill tribe command figs from Aventine Miniatures. http://www.aventineminiatures.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=9
So i am painting 2 types of celtic warband at the moment. A 3rd or 4th century BC italian celtic warband and a more wild barbaric british myth warband.
The gods and some rank and file will be in both.

Was intending to give the standard bearers cloak a celtic pattern but was so happy with it that i got scared i would ruin it.
Some more figs are nearly finished.Will post them soon.

Lovely figures and a really nice backdrop - you live in a really pretty place ;)
-
WOW! Just WOW!

-
Hi Robert,
excellent miniatures. Especially the skin parts look absolutely great.
I'm really looking forward to see them on the table soon.
Cheers
Stefan
-
They are SPECTACULAR :o
Recently acquired some Celtos figures and your painting is very inspirational. :)
-
:o
Lovely painting there sir!
I was going through the random miniatures that I have and found a load of the old Barbarian models carried by BlackTree Design. It got me thinking.
And that thinking resulted in deciding to put together a Cimmeria force using Crom as the god.
-
Pure art sir, excellent.
-
Very nice, the tartans especially are good looking without being overdone as they sometimes end up looking when people spend a lot of time on them.
On a personal side note, does anybody know if I can get a PDF of this game by paying with paypal? I want in on this, (probably at 15mm) but can't get my hands on it. >:(

This is the Celt Deal extra miniature. Great figure. It was worth buying the deal for this figure.

Lovely figures, great painting!

Lovely figures and a really nice backdrop - you live in a really pretty place ;)
Yes. The pretty place i live in is called Skyrim. :)
The backdrop was a Skyrim poster from a computer games magazine. I have started to paint some hills in front of the mountains.
-
They are great - the "extra" miniature in particular.
-
Fantastic stuff. A very high standard indeed.
-
Thanks everyone for the compliments.
I have nearly finished painting Cernunnos,the Banshee and a couple of Hasslefree figs that fit in well. I will post some photos at the weekend.
-
Simply stunning, Mr Flunky!
Your painting skills are only matched by your ability with a camera.
:-* :-*

Cernunnos - The horned God of the celts is finished and also from North Star games, a Banshee.
I liked the Cernunnos figures immediatly but compared to the gods of the other pantheons he was just standing around. I wanted a little more action so i changed his arm position and tried to paint it as if he was using magic.
Never tried painting magic before and its more or less OK, but i am not sure if it is obvious what he is doing.

Fab-u-lous.
Love the horned god. Very scary and pagan.
:-*
-
Great work!
-
Superb work, Rob! The special effects on Cernunnos work especially well, looking forward to see the figure in the flesh. My vikings are far from finished, but we could use some from the club's stock for an OGAM test game.

The pretty place i live in is called Skyrim
Sweeeet!!
-
Love your take on that Cernunnos figure.
:-*
It is such a nice sculpt, it ALMOST made me get into this OGAM thing, which I may well do at some point.

You have amazing brush skills!

Very inspiring!

Couple more finished.
Celtic witch on undead troll and Oberon.
Both 28mm Hasslefree miniatures.
Basicly i consider any primiative barbarian looking figures with antlers on their heads as candidates for celtic myth :D

The bloody horrible threads connecting the troll and the ground is a great idea but not mine - i found the idea on the web somewhere.
