Atheling's Early Byzantines- Made the Cover of "Slingshot"- Page 31. 23-04-2023

These banners are so cool that I want to put the Empire back together (on tabletop  )

Get to it Captain sir! 

Cool! I’ll watch for it.

Please do, it might be a while (Gate Fulford at Partizan to prep for) but it will definitely happen as I still have literally hundreds of Aventine Early Byzantines still in the queue!

Bravo mate

Look forward to my copy arriving

Cheers

It came out a few issues ago Matt.

You know if you can manage that in oils on wood, you could have a profitable little sideline knocking out religious icons. Beautifully executed.

Funny you should say that...... I do have a Fine Art degree and I can paint figuratively with oils well enough to knock out a few icons..... the problem is, I'm not religious and it is a complicated topic.

Icons are painted with egg tempera traditionally and also use golden leaf.

I found myself using egg tempera at Uni on a couple of occasions. On plaster too. Very difficult to work with as you have to wet the plaster as you go along painting.

I'll stick to my wee bottles of acrylic for now
