Saxons
Saxon archers. These are all Black Tree 28mm figures.
|
|
Saxons
Saxon warriors.
|
|
Saxons
I plan to use these archers as levies in SAGA.
|
|
Saxons
And these will be regular warriors in SAGA. Except maybe I shouldn't have painted the two-handed axe guys, because that's not a legal option for regular warriors.
|
|
Saxons
The shield transfers are from VVV. I found that DD11 transfers fit these shields best.
|
|
Saxons
A closer look at the archers. I still have eight of these to paint in case I want a larger force at some point.
|
|
Saxons
The obligatory overhead shot.
|
|
Saxons
I did these entirely in the Foundry/Dallimore 3-color style, with Foundry paints. I really need to get more of them for some color variations...
|
|
Saxons
More saxon axemen.
|
|
Saxons
The back rank looks on.
|
|
Saxons
And here are my final saxons for now.
|
|
Saxons
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Saxons
These are all plastic Gripping Beast models.
|
|
Saxons
The shield transfers are from VVV.
|
|
Saxons
I'm not too fond of the warlord. Maybe I should get a real metal model for that. Also, I still can't do swordblades in 3-color.
|
|
Saxons
Paintwise, I think the cloak turned out ok. It's just that it doesn't sit well on the figure...
|
|
Saxons
Oh, me eyes! I forgot to add the pupils before taking these pictures. The problem is now sorted out...
|
|
Saxons
The spears are a bit fragile.
|
|
SAGA
Here's the SAGA set finished. Except for the fatigue markers, which I forgot to put in the photo..
|
|
SAGA
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
SAGA
The figures are a mix of Gripping Beast and Black Tree.
|
|
SAGA
I got me some official dice too...
|
|
SAGA
Not quite legal figures, I'll need to redo them later.
|
|
SAGA
The custom measuring sticks are from Warbases. That MDF sucks spray paint like a sponge...
|
|
SAGA
SAGA 4-point starter force.
|
|
SAGA battle
Saxon levies deploy into a battle line.
|
|
SAGA battle
Vikings advance.
|
|

Annoying trees block line of sight.
|

Brave saxon warriors await the invader onslought.
|

Hearthguard and warlord flanking.
|
|

Hearthguard face the foe.
|
|
SAGA battle
Firing line guarding the path.
|
|
SAGA battle
Enemy spotted in the ruins!
|
|
Saxon Warriors
A new batch of Saxon warriors. These are all 28mm Black Tree models.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
The pointy ones are always the leaders. This time directing some archers.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Command section and the infantry.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
VVV shield transfers work nice, once you find the correct size. They do these in three sizes.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Ready to repel the vile invaders.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Loosing some arrows.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
The flag came from the Gripping Beast plastics box. I should have prepared one in advance...
|
|
Saxon Warriors
More shield designs. I'm still not quite sure if I should done shields separately first.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
I stuck the swordsmen and spearmen together for the picture. This is my second batch of these but I can't quite recall what was in the first.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Hornblower and another leader dude.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Even the back row gets some love.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Commad section all by themselves.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Another view of the archers.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
I think it actually looks pretty good, even though I only did three different tunic colors.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
Saxons ready to defend the shores.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
These are all Gripping Beast models.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
The VVV shield transfers work nicely.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
These guys might have a game to go to, actually.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
Clearing the shelf one box at a time.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
It's a hedge of spears.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
More spears.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
I even managed to assemble all of these without breaking any spears or swords.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
The shields really make a difference.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
A couple of leader types.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
The assembly options aren't quite as varied as one might think.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
A few shields were a little but too drab.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
For a shieldwall army, they're pretty disorganized.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
Pretty good view of the shields.
|
|
Saxon Thanes
Sound the horn!
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Generic dark age warriors on the march! I painted these fro my saxons but they fit in pretty much all dark age armies.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
I had some problems with the shield transfers unfortunately. Should have gloss varnished the shields first...
|
|
Saxon Warriors
These are pretty good bulk models. It's just that painting 40 of them at one go was just too much.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
I chose the fairly static spear poses because I hate the ones that get tangled all the time...
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Some command elements included.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
View from the unshielded side.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
It's a veritable hedge of spears.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
There actually isn't a whole lot of options in the box.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
These are the Gripping Beast plastics.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
Looks pretty good from up here.
|
|
Saxon Warriors
These are done in a hybrid style.
|
|
Norman bust
This is a 1/16 bust from FeR I believe. I've never painted busts before and wanted to try it out.
|
|
Norman bust
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Norman bust
I broke off the noseguard at last minute and had to glue it to the nose. It's really thin resin.
|
|
Norman bust
Rather uninspired shield design.
|
|
Norman bust
This actually came in four parts. I painted it in sub-assemblies, which did make things a bit easier.
|
|
Norman bust
One thing I discovered was that at this scale, you can't really cheat with the eyes anymore.
