Remington's Dark Ages... page 4 (Gripping Beast dwelling)

Bit too eager to show your beaver if you ask me

The saxons are absolutely awesome

I have been looking for beaver miniatures for ages!  Thanks for posting these.  A long time ago, some friends and I made a short film about a killer beaver.  I've been looking for something to make him with since I got back into miniatures.

  Dude!!! Those Saxons are unbelievably good. I am actually almost lost for words... Stunning!!!!

[Westfalia Chris]

Finally, more beavers to use with your puns! I've finally painted all eight supplied by Northstar. They are quite small but very grumpy. These Saxons probably messed with their dam.

"Oi! We would 'ave 'ad a neat big lake in the Thames valley if it weren't for those dam' meddlin' Saxons, guv!"



Hell and damnation, those are nice. Wonderful work on the yellows.

That warparty is pretty well kited out, almost feel sorry for any Britons they happen to catch.

Glad I could help with the beavers... Besides, Svennn, beavers should fill you with pride and you should expose the whenever you can! they really are cute miniatures. I would have like some realistic beavers as well though. These are obviously slightly anthropomorphic.

Thank you for your kind words, guys. I really appreciate them.

Great paint job on those saxons!
The beavers are cool!
I guess they deserved a diorama of some sort.

Finally, I finished two more Saxons. The guy in the blue... dress... has been painted 3 times to the varnishing stage (The first time was around February time) and something always went wrong. Now, I am finally done with him. Although he was a pain in the backside, I really liked painting this miniature (well, both of them really) especially because of his face.


The banner will be not my main one. Ælle has a bull's skull as his banner in the Cornwell books, but I absolutely love these Freebooter Miniatures skulls, so I had to use one. Now, I am hoping that the Gripping Beast bull's skull will look as nice as this one.

EDIT: By the way... These guys are still missing their tufts... Would you suggest green or brown ones?




EDIT: One more view of the banner where the thick white-ish ribbon looks less weird.

Fabulous. Really lovely painting.

[Sangennaru]

i'm always amazed by your shields.... that's a top quality job! i really love them!

[Sterling Moose]

Nice beaver..........

[v_lazy_dragon]

Brillaint painting on these figures. They really capture the feel of the era, and put my megre efforts to shame!

btw - the tunic/"dress" type garment the figures are wearing is called a kyrtle

I'm reading Vinland Saga Chapter 75 right now.... totally in theme
