Hi everybody,

It's my first post here.
I'm Eric, from France (so please excuse me for my english), 37yo, married with a lovely japanese wife, and we have a young boy.

I've painted and collected minis for nearly 25 years now, and after spending nearly 2 decades painting Warhammer minis (both fantasy and 40k), I'm now playing some historical games such as Ronin, SAGA or Dead Man's Hand (and with some friends, we are currently looking for the Hail Caesar rules...).
So you can expect some work in another sections !

And just to be complete, I also do some commission work (mainly on GW minis, but sometimes other things too...)

If you want to see more of my work, you can always take a look at my blog....

But enough of speaking, I'll present you my SAGA Saxons.
It's an "all plastic army", and all shields are hand painted.

- some warriors :

- the huscarls :

- the warlord :

And the whole warband as it stands now :

I still have to add some levy bowmen (and I have conversions to do...).

Beautiful!

I really like the bright vibrant coulours. I wish I had the courage to paint like that. I always end up with earthen colours as those are the easiest..

Excellent Eric

Beautiful work on the shields.
These figures have seldom looked better.

These are very very good indeed. One can see the 25 years of experience you have! Very well done!

Nice colour combinations and great freehands on the shields!
Always a pleasure to see colorful armies from the dark ages

Welcome to the forum!

Excellent painting!! At first I thought the shields had been decorated with transfers because they are so well executed. So I was doubly impressed when I discovered they had been done by hand! Again cracking job!!

Look forward to more stuff from you in the future.

Great looking figures! Congratulations!

Just lovely.

Having just painted these figures myself I must say I'm impressed. I really like the two swords shield on the back guy. I did one with a (round) shield on the back but never thought of adding an extra sword.

I realised now that I forgot to add the scabbards to mine.......

Welcome Eric, nice figures, where did you get the kite shield from, I don't recall any in the Gripping Beast Saxons?
