I plan to play some skirmish games in the antiques.
First batch of minis are brutal germans intended to fight my romans.
Heavily inspired by these great miniatures:

Not sure about the basing so far.
If I find the time I ll try to expand them for horde skirmish with mulybasing, or just single bases for SAGA or the like...

Cheers,
Don

An angry look created by a good choice in the use of dark colours. The basing could be to match the ground around them (sandy earth with a little green flock, etc), or a simplified version of your Japanese/US marines.

Thanks for the kudos. Those figures were in a skirmish level spin-off of Teutoburg. Germans combing the forest, mopping up Roman stragglers.

Wow, beautiful! That fur mat and the fantastic paint jobs make it look so epic; like fields of wheat, whipped by savage winds. Looks like a helicopter shot from some epic historical action film. Poor old Romans. Arminius must be pleased.

Very nice table and figures! I really like the long "grass" texture.

Beautiful table and minis...top shelf material there. Well done.

Lovely - both of you.
Grungy Ancient Germans by Mark Copplestone. It doesn't get much better than that

Germans by DonVoss, that's great news

Thanx for the encouragement...

@mikeygees
Great table and Game and miniatures...

Here is the next bunch of germans.

This time warlord minis.
I am not too happy with the miniatures: very similar poses (especially with the bowmen), open hands for the weapons.
Think they will go in the second row behind the foundrys...

Still need more of them for a propper multibasing.

Cheers,
Don

I would mix them with Foundry, I think that would be your best option. Also it's really possible to achieve more variety slightly bending the arms, torsos and legs. Also replacing heads, especially Foundry vs. Warlord.

How is the water done on that fur map?

Shave the fur, paint it with 'blue' craft paint....
