Angry Germans!
« on: 13 September 2015, 11:11:14 PM »
Seperated by about 500 years, but the family resemblance is pretty clear  :)



Footsore Aella - love this figure and would happily paint two or three more.



Warlord figures Germanic command type.

Excellent painting.   The family resemblance is so close I was thinking Aella and some of his footsore 'mates' would make good command figures for early Germans or even Dacians and allied Bastarnae (who were Germanic afterall).

Works of art Keith. Really sumptuous skin tones and shading.
Lovely to see you back on the brushes.
Hope life is treating you well on your island  :)

Some seriously good brushwork on two lovely figures. :-*
Did you paint 'em at random or with a specific goal in mind? Reason I'm asking, I would really love more Ancients goodness like that.

Not entirely at random  :). There will definitely be more Dark Ages (very much inspired by your Roman series on your blog btw).
