My Dark Age Wandering

[ulverston]

Hi Chaps,

This forum has been a great escape for me and I usually use it to look at what other people have been up to so I thought I should finally share some of what I have been up to now that I have a mobile complete with a camera.... what will they think of next...



This is the leader of my small warband.

A nice scene.  Well done

[vtsaogames]

Indeed.

What’s her name?

[ulverston]

Thanks for the comments, none of my characters have a name yet but I will try and get her number. I can't remember where the figure came from but I believe its a Reconquest Mini.

A few of my Saga Early Saxon Army.

A few closer pics of the scruffy lot

[Rochejaquelein]

I like the first picture. It reminds me of the old Angus McBride illustration from the Germanic Warrior Osprey book; the one with the Germanic warlord accepting fealty in an old Roman villa.

[ulverston]

Thank you, I haven't seen the illustration you mention but I do have an old Osprey on the Dark Ages and Im sure it was illustrated by Angus Mcbride. I think I made the room whilst watching The Last Kingdom! I have a few little pieces I use as a backdrop though until now my camera was poor so have never used them.

Lovely pictures and models. I am painting up some Dark Age stuff at the moment and find a bit of a story line helps with the painting process.

[ulverston]

I agree Modelwarrior, a theme or backstory can help one decide what to paint and what to build. A five minute drive from my home will take me to an early medieval (OK Dark Age) church whose first priest was a guy called Ughtred! Five minutes in the opposite direction and I can be in a churchyard littered with Templar grave markers, usually in England we are tripping over the history which can help set the scene for our little armies.

Beautiful painting.

Not all those who wander are lost.

[ulverston]

Thank you Redshank, I like that quote!

[Patrice]

Very good.

I like the walls in the first pic, nice idea.
