Lovely figures from Iain at Flags of War, a joy to paint. My Irish force and a farming family.

Those are fabulous, The Cid!  :)

Great colours on the Irish, and love the little free hand flourishes.

Excellent painting on some extremely nice figures. I wonder how well they would fit in with the Durer galloglass figures sold by Antediluvian Miniatures, figures I've always fancied.

Great work! I like how vibrant the yellow is on the Léine! Do you know how they scale up with other late medieval/renaissance figures?

I would say they are on the smaller side of 28mm and would scale up with Paul Hicks size sculpts.

Thanks for all the nice comments, much appreciated.

They really do look nice. You'll have to show us some pictures when you get them in action.

These look amazing, such bold, vibrant colours.  8)

Medieval Irish are such a mad looking lot in terms of clothing. If you had to describe them to someone they'd never believe you.

"So, bright yellow nightshirts, yeah? And morion helmets, but viking mail hauberks. Rolled plaids, maybe a snappy waistcoat, and any weapon from a knobby stick to an arquebus.
Oh, and no trousers."

Blame Vivienne Westwood for the look.

Lovely work indeed and they look like excellent sculpts.
