Captain Blood's Twilight of Britannia... More Arthurians! (P.26)

[Phil Robinson]

Toy soldiers at their finest, top stuff again, Richard.

I don't think I have ever commented on this thread. But that does not mean I have not been following from the very start.

As always with you it is pure uncencored wargaming porn.

[Captain Blood]

Thanks all.
They are, as many people have attested before. simply lovely and easy miniatures to paint.

Truth be told, the only thing I don't like about them, is having to drill out the hands to take a spear - which is a considerable pain in the butt, and usually results in the loss of a finger or two (the miniature's - not mine ) or other slight inadvertent mangling. Not so good...

There again, I'm not a fan of the 'lobster claw' open hand approach to sculpting either.

If someone could work out a way of doing it that involved casting the fist with hole in situ, they'd be onto a winner

Lovely wee bunch Capt! Great colours!

You know, I actually prefer that to open hands. Although time consuming, I like the look and the solid fit.

Stunning stuff!!! 

[Mindenbrush]

Excellent work as usual  

Almost got me looking at Footsore Late Romans/Arthurians again.............

[Utgaard]

What can one say about these amazing stuff - I´m still stunned 

[Breazer]

This is so cool to see. Really nice stuff man. I love the footsore miniatures and I love the work you did on them.

[Anderson Collection]

Those look fantastic I really like the over painted shields top work as per usual

[Captain Blood]

Thanks all
Quite a lot more to come...

[pocoloco]

Awesome work with all of these! 

I was going to make a half-witty remark about the thread title referring more to modern times but... 

Have you made lots of dedicated terrain for this project alone?

[Captain Blood]

I was going to make a half-witty remark about the thread title referring more to modern times but... 

That would be the twiglet of Britannia... 

Have you made lots of dedicated terrain for this project alone?

No, just reusing existing boards and scenery. I keep meaning to get some Dark Age buildings, but can't make up my mind on which ones to go for... 

[Lowtardog]

Your fault and that of a mate I have taken the plunge on the new saxon miniatures and old GB miniatures for a Romano British army for playing Sword and Spear

[Captain Blood]

  don't blame me Karl.
Those Saxon Minatures Arturians are stunning. If I didn't already a have a full complement of Footsore cavalry, I'd definitely get the Saxon Miniatures ones. In fact, I suspect I'll get a few of them anyway
