Celtic Army Now the Gaels as 023 inspired Cursed or Nearly Dead!

[Lowtardog]

This is a thread to measure my celtic myth warbnands for SOBH

Thanks to a good trade with Young Mr Leadasbestos I have a goodly number of Celtos Minis.

My warbands are the Gael and Firbolg, the Fomorions I traded for Reaper Highlanders with a mate who is already building  a fomorion horde

So that gives me a good sized warband of Firbolg/undead celts
A heroic warband of Gael - Celtic warriors, to be of the Red Hand Society  
The Reaper Highlanders as they are quite a bit larger will be some other "Scots" tribe and as such will be blue skinned
I also have a smaller warband of skeletal celts from Cltos which wil be encounters etc.

To add to this I am not going for celtos Dwarves or elves as I am not too keen on those figures

rather I think I will plump for the West wind dwarf wars shaven ones and Highlanders which for £16 a warband for 15 minis will give me some nice celtic warrior dwarves.

On elves not really seen anythign I like so far, not keen on the Alernative armies elves and have already painted and sold their fomorions which are nice but the undead win on that count.

Anyway stay tuned

I like these "project-threads" as it is always fascinating to see how an army evolves and what thoughts the collector has about his miniatures. Pictures, please! Lots of pictures! 

[manic _miner]

 Looks like we have another project in common too .This and the Samurai one.Looking forward to seeing pictures and forces too.

[Lowtardog]

We are indeed,

I am switching from unit to unit between Samurai and Celtic stuff for variety

I have 16 Firbolg on the go and will get a WIP picture up tonight.

Oh, added to the celtic list

Four A Sea demons and other critters
Vor Growlers and similar Britannen beasties for encounters and the like

[Captain Blood]

Great Karl. Looking forward to seeing this. I've always really liked those Celtos figures.

But I can't (no, really, I just can't!) start in on yet another genre / period 

(Well, not for a while anyway  )

Glad you're back into it 

[LeadAsbestos]

Oddly enough, just yesterday I was thinking about starting a thread to track my Aztec WAB army progress...

Glad to see the Celtos boys are getting some attention! I too have a Celt project, and will eagerly watch this for ideas to steal! 

[Lowtardog]

Cheers Richard, I have slowly got back into painting and find human flesh (always have) hard to do, so this will be quitre an interesting way to try out new techniques as my oil wash is far too heavy a technique

Aye Leadasbestos, I have taken a look at your celts and they are great, been following them on the road to victory in LPL

Interstingly been reacding slaine novels, the tain etc for inspiration. In reflection the Celtos Firbolg are rather more like the Drune. Also although I understand the use of orcs I think the wee 4A demons will be my Fomorions.

[manic _miner]

 I have some of the old Fantasy Forge Swamp Orc's to use in my setting too.Also got a lot of the Celts they did and the Slaine piece.

 Need to dig out my Slaine comic's for inspiration.

 Been making a 2x2 board which will be swamp/marsh type.

Watching this with interest too Karl. I used a Celtos Sidhe warband for the Frotherheim game at Salute 2010. Still got to paint up some Fomorian sirens lead by Balor (a Heresy Cyclops) as opponents.

[Lowtardog]

Ok here are WIP shots of the Firbolg so far, only flesh and kilts started, still need to tidy up plaid but went for uniform approach as a clan tartan thingy

[manic _miner]

 Looking really good Karl.Nice colour on the skin too.Love the Flesh Eaters from the Celtos line.

The Foundry one?
Or do they have something else?

Nice progress so far, great project

[Lowtardog]

The Foundry one?
Or do they have something else?

Nice progress so far, great project

Foundry one with normal one in the pack, postage is only £2.50 so a lot cheaper than Foundry themselves

I think only Rackham do spasm warriors or so Ive seen

[Comsquare]

Yes, Rackham has also some shapeshifters/warpspasms.

I'm still looking for my warped Slaine, I'm not so happy with the Foundry one.
Looks a little too cartoony to me
