I painted a few 28mm vikings (brief Ravenfeast report Aug 17)

[FierceKitty]

Their first outing, last night; the self-styled Umayyad Caliphate of al-Andalus failed to stop the Norse raid on Seville, partly because of the rain, which reduced the effect of the Andalusian cavalry (muddy field). Note the empty picture - the defenders had hired some Christian cavalry, but these deserted and went home early on.

Very nice looking game.

A great period. Well done.

[FierceKitty]

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Cool looking game.

Cool looking game.

The weather is a welcome few degrees cooler, actually.

Nice looking painted models, Aesthete! Would love to see more of them, including the terrain. (FierceKitty's shots are nice, too.)

Thanks! My hobby progress is slow (and unfocused) but I'll update here as appropriate. I have a 40K Battle Report where you can get a better look at most of my terrain if you're interested (pictures start from part II).

I realize that "few" is the most significant part in my thread title. Anyhow, here are two (2) vikings I just finished.





If you'd like to see the exact same pictures on my blog, you can do so here.

Coming along nicely

These lads aren't actually vikings, but might fight them... so I figured I'd keep them in the same thread.

Presenting a few Normans. Conquest plastic cavalry and (I believe) Citadel lead infantry.





For those who are interested, you can see rear-view images and read some minor inane comments here: http://miniaturefront.blogspot.com/2020/07/a-small-wave-of-normans.html

Looks like the images weren't showing up which kind of undermines the whole point. I think I fixed it now though.

My apologies for any confusion resulting from my lack of tech savvy.

A few more vikings and Normans got painted. Also one - slightly later period  - generic medieval woman with child.





The Vikings are all Foundry except the fellow with the horn. He's Citadel, I believe. To be honest, the Foundry ones are a little fantasy-ish in my current opinion... the breastplate, the long and wild and unkempt hair and beards. But not perfectly accurate historical models are still historical models, right?



The mini with the yellow shield is not historical, but I figure it's okay because you can barely see it.

I have a few more pictures - intermingled with fantasy minis over on my blog. I didn't plan ahead for LAF's topic division when I took the photos. Maybe next time....

looks great to me, what I really like to see is the improvements from the first figures ion this thread to the newest, keep it more and more pics is allways welcome

[Grumpy Gnome]

Lots to love in this thread, great figures and terrain.
