I've added some more Early Saxons/Germanics to my collection on some sabot Impetus bases I made. The rest of my collection has also been put onto Impetus sabot bases as well. The leader figure is on a Dux B. base until I decide where to put him. The figures are from gripping Beast 4/5th century Early Saxon range with LBM shield transfers and flag. As usual I dusted up the shields with my trusty Mig pigments.

Well done. Is there any particular technique you use when applying the MIG powders? I have tried using them in the past but never seem to have any luck with the application - either it just slides off with minimal stick or I use the MIG bonding product and it clumps and/or looks too wet.
-
As we've come to expect, very nice, colourful paintjobs! :-*
Just a thought on the sabot bases: Perhaps a less regular arrangement and/or varying the number of models per base would add to the overall impression of an unkempt barbarian force.
-
Yes terrific Christopher! I'd also love to know which MIG pigments you are using.

@Goliad
Thank you. I don't bother with fixer and simply brush on the pigment mix and do any touch ups later if needed. If you use the fixer you have to apply it in a misty way either flicking it from a brush from a distance to avoid large droplets or airbrush it on. When applying the pigments don't be stingy and get a good amount on your brush and rub it in. The excess goes on the base which I like as it adds more dirt effect or you can place the figure on a white sheet to collect the excess and replace it back into the bottle or mixing jar if you prefer.
@Mad Doc Morris
Thank you kindly Doc! I've tried seven figures and it just looked to few so I stuck with eight. I could have used a smaller base for the figures but then it does not look as good in skirmish gaming usage so I kept them on 25mm bases. I tried to not make the sabots to regular, but I didn't have much room to work with. As always when saboting figures compromises have to be made.
@Simon
Thank you! I used a mix of European Dust and Dry Mud.
