Strathclyde Welsh from WF Germanics - Painted

[Mitch K]

A while back I did anout of the box review of the Wargames Factory Ancient Germanic Cavalry, that I had bought to build myself a Strathclyde Welsh army for Saga.

Well, I've built and painted the first three, and I'm really happy with the results. I think these will give excellent service for Saga, Dux Brit, Dux Bell and others too.

Here's a quick piccie of the results, so you can judge for yourself:


In order to get these done quickly, I didn't really put a lot of work into the shields, but just used chi-rhos I had on hand from other projects. I'll put some nicer heraldry on the rest!

There are more pictures, and more detail of the build and background on my blog, here:

Thanks, but don't hold yout breath! I've got about 40 Vikings in the queue ahead of the rest of these

Very nice indeed

and I don't think I've seen bases that give a more naturalistic impression of scrubby moor / heathland. Superb!

[Patrice]

Oooh yes I had not noticed the bases at first glance! They are nice.

Thanks guys! I was up on the North Yorks Moors the day I did the bases, so I had the chance to take some pictures, check the colours and so on. Glad everyone thinks it was time well spent!

Mind you, it can look a lot LESS inviting at other times. As they say, It's grim oop Nurth

Nicely done. This has got me very tempted.......
