Saga: 2 points of Norman archers

[Captain Blood]

Those are brilliant Michi. The shields are really something 

[rumacara]

Wow...
Very nice Michael.
Although this looks more a army than a Saga force.

[tancrede]

Juste wonderful !!
I like the way you've painted the shields, with the weathered effect... 

[Andym]

Brilliant! How do you achieve that wonderful blended look on your clothing?

[MM]

Beautiful, and I was wondering the same thing...really like your clothing (and the worn shields of course). How to achieve those effects, especially the clothing?

[Michi]

How to achieve those effects, especially the clothing?

It´s a simple seven-step layering (basic colour plus white).

I don't know if the words 'simple' and 'seven-step' can be put in the same sentence!

[Michi]

I think it is rather a question of patience (for the amount of effort you want to put in the process) than anything else. It is in fact simple, but it takes its time. Look at that bale for illustration:

I decided to finally paint some mounted reinforcements for my Saga Normans now: 1 point of warriors and two points of knights.

Lovely stuff 

[Hu Rhu]

Lovely painnting on those knights.   

[Koyote]

Beautiful work.  Love all the colors.

The new Age of Vikings book made the Normans much better than they were previously.  Give your Warlord a Famous Steed (a new relic/artifact) and England will be yours. 

[rumacara]

Very well done.
Love those normans.
Are they BTD and GB?

[Codsticker]

With the new rules, you might get more value out of those 3 units of archers.

[Andym]

Cracking colours mate! Great painting!
