Hello !
I bought about 40 saxon minis last year, and guess how much I painted ? Yeah, not zero but about 5-6 are half painted, and I'm a little disappointed about myself. So there's an objective here : I want to paint every saxon I 've got.
I don't play any game but I love scenery and sometimes painting some minis.. In my entire life, I just painted about 15 minis, so I'm not very confortable about it yet, but hey, if I don't paint I won't get better :)
I don't want it to be intensive but I'll try to add regularly a few new saxons.
My first mini isn't a saxon... haha... lol It's a plastic figure from the celt warband box from Wargames Factory. It was a test I made last year and will be part of the warband even if he's not really historically accurate.

The following figures will be Gripping Beast real saxons ;)
A little teaser : What is this ?

Yes it's ugly, that's the base for my future warlord, and I promise it will be quite better next time you'll see it :)
Bye !
Thanks everyone :)
I finished another saxon !
I'm not really happy with his shield, and I'm not confortable with faces (I don't dare painting the eyes yet :D ), but here it is :

I heard you like teasers, so there's a cross for a little scenery I'll make ;)
My warlord is slowly coming, you'll see him soon if you're nice and polite, haha :D
Hello, I'm back ! :)
Yes Little Odo, you're right about the shields, I don't want to put complex designs on them, but I found hard to use white paint and didn't achieve to find the color I wanted. But now I look at it, I don't find it horrible ;)
My warlord is now finished (pictures aren't very luminous, but here we go !) :

I also made a scenery. A little hill with a saxon cross and a few old birch trees :

Very cool, he looks a bit like a '70s blagger.
