The figures are mainly Footsore Miniatures with a few Foundry Casting Room and a solitary Westwind Miniatures figure. Base from Warbases as usual and shield transfers where applicable from LBMS.
I think you will agree it is a superb sculpt, really love the flow of the cloak and subtle look of movement in the figure.
Off to GHQ again tomorrow I will be taking along my First Carlist War collection for a run out on a bigger table. Dave's grandson Will be aiding and rolling dice for me again so hopefully I will end the run of two consecutive defeats🙂
Until next time ..........

Last? What strange concept is that? Thankfully you have Goths & Franks aplenty! Beautifully painted warband, but a special mention for Olaf. Beautiful sculpt as you say, but wonderfully painted too! As to tomorrow, well 6's may lead to Blunders, just saying...
ReplyDeleteA mystery word indeed on a par with 'enough' perhaps? Pleased you like my take on old Olaf. Blunders I know them well ask the Rhodian slingers😂
DeleteA superb unit of Goths there Phil, beautifully painted as ever! the casualty is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteThe Viking figure is outstanding! A wonderful job there to show the potential of Matt's fine sculpts. I love the detail on the reverse side of the shield....
Thank you Paul most kind. Matt's Viking was a joy to paint nice precise detail.
DeleteStunning brushwork, Phil! Seeing the “Last” of any project may be often considered but something rarely seen.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan much appreciated. Last? I think the words 'for the time being' are left unsaid or written in invisible ink😊
DeleteLovely work Phil, I seem to struggle with shield transfers but my shields are often older versions/secondhand so less flat. Olaf is splendid too, if I were in the hunt for more Vikings they would be a must but not at the moment I have enough
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt. The trick with curved shields is to score the paper backing into six segments before apply to the shield. Enough? see my above reply to Mr. B.😉
DeleteThat Goth warband is particularly well based up - when they're coming at you (like in the first photo) it looks like something Lady Butler might've painted if she'd been into Dark Age battles.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rob, high praise indeed.
DeleteLovely looking Goth unit, great sense of a horde of barbarians attacking, I like the addition of the casualty figure too, works really well. The Viking is a real beauty, cracking figure and really well painted, very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the glowing endorsement of my efforts.
DeleteBeautiful as ever Phil.
ReplyDeleteThank you George.
DeleteLast.....until you realize a couple more couldn't hurt. As ever lovely looking Goths and that Viking is superb!
