Wrath of the Northmen

[Dr. Zombie]

Oh I have painted all my GB metal vikings, so can spot them in the earlier pictures. I was just kind of disapointed by especially the hands on them.

Also my wallet likes plastic but my mind likes the metals...

[Dr. Zombie]

I have made another dung heap. You can never have enough dung in the dark ages.

[Captain Blood]

Are you and Dr The Viking having a dung arms race?  

(It's another very fine dung heap, by the way. Am going to have to have a go at some of those myself  )

[Dr. Zombie]

Definately we cannot have a dung gap! 

Also I finished these 3 chaps with banners.


I'll se if I can manage a better picture over the weekend. And perhaps work a bit with getting the banners to look a little less stiff.

[Mason]

Such lovely compost you have, sir.

Unless you paint 1 or 2 plastics you will never know if you like it.
I think the carolingian looks ok but a helmeted one migh do the trick.
If you have the saxons box use one of the nasal helms. Perhaps it changes the look.

[Dr. Zombie]

I finished up some more guys for the shieldwall some more lively than others..


I also painted up my wannabe Carolingan warrior. I am still not sure if I like him or not.


Pictures are horrible but I blame the light..

[von Lucky]

It's the Dark Ages, you're excused. Nice additions.

[Dr. The Viking]

I think you would be better off using the same bodies (the viking/dark age warriors) but another kind of heads for the Carolingian.

It's the head that does the figure more than anything else in the Dark ages. To me at least.

[Dr. Zombie]

I don't really like that scale mail coat. It looks more fantasy than history.

I might have to bite the bullet and go for Artizan Carolingians maybe mixed up with some Byzantines from Crusader miniatures.

Excellent!

They have a lot of Asterix about them with the moustaches! 

[Hitman]

Some very cool looking figures and terrain. It reminds me of the TV series Vikings. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing much has happened with this since last. I am awaiting a replacement bit for my airbrush so I can get started on some buildings.
I broke the nozzle on my airbrush by dropping it whilst cleaning it.

But I have been playing a few games of Hail Caesar and I really like it. Now the thought of rebasing has crept into my mind. But I am not completely sure. Single bases just give so much more flexibility. But multibases just look cool.

Here is the complete army as it stands (in a very crappy hurried photo).

[pocoloco]

Get/make some movement trays for your single based minis, problem solved

Any more dung heaps done? And what kind of buildings will be we treated with?

[Dr. The Viking]

There's like what? 1,5 Hail Caesar units there... 

Unless you're going for a different scale than in the rulebook.
