More Vikings

Here is the command base for my Viking army. The unfortunate Jarl was not blessed with sons but luckily daddy's little girls grew up to be man-killers.

These are the latest additions to my Viking skirmish gaming force. I'm looking forward to the upcoming Saga ruleset for some good times.

Vikings

The start of my Vikings for Medieval Warfare and Clash of Empires.

Ancient Germans Update

The boys are coming along nicely now.

Foundry Vikings

Finished several more of these great minis.

Ancient Germans

Here are the first two units based 120mm wide for both Impetus and Hail Caesar. I may add some tufts to them when they arrive in my mailbox but at the moment I'm enjoying the simplicity of the basing.

15mm Hail Caesar - First Game

Had a go with a couple of buddies. We used all my 15mm Romans and Gauls based for Impetus as well as my buddies' DBA based troops and it worked out fine. My camera's charge ran out so I couldn't snap pics of the end but much slaughter was done and it was not to be Rome's day after all.

Workbench Update #2

Here are the first 28mm horses I've ever painted. Nice looking figs from eBob Miniatures that come with my Germanic cavalry from Crusader Miniatures. They came out alright but I wouldn't want to crank out a horsey army, of that I have no doubt. Luckily, I have only six more to paint.

Work continues on my Ancient Germans...

Workbench Update #1

A side project of Normans. I was going to paint up an opposing force of Saxons but I think I'll just knock out a ton and let them scrap each other. Luckily, I found a local player who had collected 28mm armies for Warhammer Ancient Battles and is now going to be playing Clash of Empires and was looking for opponents. That's where I come in.

I'm waiting on delivery of some sort of dark earth coloured gritty paste from Vallejo for the bases. My old way of basing involved too many steps and I like to throw money at my problems until they go away. Hence, the Vallejo stuff.

For kicks, here's a shot of my workbench. I don't like to mix paint and as that is a problem for me, see above. Do I have more paint than I need? Probably. Am I a paint junkie? Most likely. Do I ask and answer my own questions? Often times.

Ancient Germans WIP

Here are the first eight painted up as a test of the paint scheme. I like it. Full steam ahead!

The Dwarves Are Done

I had a good time painting these boys up. From the first I loved their look and style. Proper dwarves, no doubt. Here's the best pic I could snap of them...

My next main project will be some hairy fellows from Germania. A couple of weeks ago, I snagged a great deal from Northstar for a 'Clash of Empires' ready-made Ancient German force made up of Crusader Miniatures at almost 50% off and am eagerly awaiting them in the mail.

While looking around for pics of Ancient Germans I found this fantastic work. They were painted by Zerotwentythree and will serve as my inspiration. I think those dark colours and body paint will look great on 150+ hairy barbarians when they take the field.
