Somewhere in Germania 400 A.D. (Update 27.05.2016: Arthur´s death vignette)

[Lt. Hazel]

Well thanks for all your kind comments!
Another day, another pic...

Aerthul and Beorga. I really like the germanic fashion, stripes everywhere! Beorga on the left has a little matt-varnish accident on his head, but I already solved it with Devla Mud. I found two interesting pics of wool dyed with genuine ancient recipes:


Gives plenty colours to chose from!
Ok I´ll continue paintin, more tomorrow.

oh my..even a sort of very light purple, awesome stuff, Hazel

pity the accident with Beorga, I feel with you.

Interesting pictures. Much more colourful that I would have thought.

I will paint One in a light purple shirt ;-)
When I saw the accident first I immediatly remembered the story with the 14 dwarves you once told me.

Must be an amazing sight, warriors in purple tunics and walnut dye red hair!

Very nice miniatures and painting. Would these mini's look well next to Foundry germans?

May be you´ll see a warrior like that pretty soon 
I once took a comparism shot

It´s a Foundry Late Roman but their Germans are the same size. It´s a matter of taste I think. I won´t do it.

Your two new additions look great. 

I really appreciate the post about the dyes as well. A great reference for everyone!

That is a lovely comparion shot.  I'd say, though, that the Foundry Germans are quite a bit larger than their Late Romans- the former are Copplestones, the same size as the Caaesarian range, whereas the latter are the smaller Perry's.

The shots of dyes are fantastic!

Cheers, Simon

Very nice painting. I really like your shading on the clothing. It really "pops" without the contrasts being too glaring.

[Lt. Hazel]

The big guys, Dederic and Guthbert. For the  start I´ll use the SAGA rules. For a 4 point Warband that´s a Warlord (of course), 4 Commitati, 2 x 8 Warriors and 8 archers. Guthbert on the right is an old paint-up, but I gave him a new Base and varnished him.

The second photo of the dyes is one of mine - it seems to get around more than I do since I uploaded it!!! 

Cheers,

Well thanks a lot!! I´ve stolen it from the studio tomahawk forum

Lovely collection taking shape, Jan.

We seem to have all gone very ancient and medieval on Lead Adventure all of a sudden

[Mad Doc Morris]

Hopefully my Romans will turn up soon, so that I can give your barbarians a proper beating.

no idea why suddenly

Hopefully my Romans will turn up soon, so that I can give your barbarians a proper beating.

Yeah, more Romans by Mad Doc, that's something I am really looking forward to!
