Wonderful! Nice work all around, on the metallics especially. What are you using for washes?

The challenge is up! I´ll look into getting a bunch (I was aiming T&T-size, i.e. some groups of warriors in skirmish order rather than full-blown battle stuff, maybe using the Lord of the Rings rules), hopefully at a show, otherwise I´ll order some. Those are so much nicer than the Magister Militum I had my eyes on at Crisis...
OK matey! T&T Size is great, about 20-30 figs per side. What´s the deadline?
@Super Gibbon: I painted Glorious Gold over a dark Brown undercoat. Brushed it with Silver. then the washing: GW Sepia, VGC Smoke, Tamiya smoke (darkest shade) and Yellow Ink to achieve a glowing finish!

Sometime next autumn? Probably will be back to Germany by then. Maybe also get some cattle and women as victory objective markers by then...

I love the main guy's hat. If he dipped his head in a bucket of Fairy Liquid and then his minion with the carnyx stood behind him and played it, you'd have one hell of a musical bubble-blower.

 lol You've got to cut down on the drugs, mate...

That´s great. I like your objective marker idea  :P Any good source of suitable, sparely dressed women?

thx

just checked it out

nice range - and the spare horses are a good idea
How do they fit with other ranges? (horses and men?)

Size-wise they are in the "larger 28mm" club. They mix fine with Crusader, for example.

There are some useful celtic civilians in the Black Tree range. Still got some lying around somewhere (in Germany and boxed up, though).

As mentioned on the Sweetwater forum - I like it very much (apart from the stone). :P

For civilians, these might do:

Foundry Germanic women


or even these (sparely dressed) Bronze Age girls


You might also look at Warlord Games' Celtic civilians:


Anyway, you're a lucky bunch. Just send a call and you get somebody hooked for a new project. :'(
