15mm Early Medieval or Norse-Irish commission

After finishing the Spartans, Phil (no, the other one) asked me to do some medieval Irish for him from the Donnington Ancient & Modern range.Always up for a challenge, I agreed.

They arrived and rather fun figures they were too. I painted them under the principle of the posher, the better the clothing.

Phil will do his own basing later.
Starting off with the lowest of the low, the slingers.

Side on

Slightly better clothed again

Three at the back were figures that fell off their painting sticks!

Getting into tartan now

Go lads

Nobility

Tried not to make their plaid too regimented

Attitude

Seriously posh blokes

Flags by kind permission of Mark Carmichael

Nobility or strongmen?

Back view

They must be getting richer, they've got trim on their outfits.

Kings and things

Brightest and cleanest of the lot

Positively regal

Mounted kings and nobility, plus a representative from Craggy Island?

Oldest and most sacred banner

Definitely the poshest

The posh half of the batch

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them Claudia the animal handler, Bowie and Marcella the Monster Hunter from Bad Squiddo Back view Side on Mimic from Bad Squiddo Gribbly Sushi? Catch of the day! Another Grenadier 1984 from Brian's collection - possible Flesh Golem? Pants! Quick job, but fun TT Combat Halfling adventuers, a barbarian, a fighter, a ranger (with squirrel), a mage, and a bard (with bagpipes) Rough bunch Distancing themselves from the Bard! Fireball! Really random. Converted GW 1990s halfling on a...

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Bikers.

Bikers - 3d prints for Legion Imperialis Suspect there are menat to be more per base, but it suits my denuded them. I regret not doing one with plates! Brrrrrmmmm... It's all gone a bit Judge Dredd! Terrain box (Civitas ruins) painted up Honestly took me longer to build it than it did to paint! But there may be a reason for that Someone needs a word with their structural surveyor! I mean, the build quality here is awful. At least the marines will have somewhere to hide It's about an A3 of ruined stuff It's been trashed Comes with a lot of scatter The rest of the club was doing it, so I had to do it! Looking through the various Legions from the Horus Herasy, I decided... Nope. Don't like them. Stick to what you know. 'Stick 'Em In The Eye - It's the Emperor's Pointy Sticks' So, seven years after I painted the 'Emperor's Pointy Sticks'...

AWI forces for Lee - 10mm Pendraken

Lee asked me to paint up extra forces for his AWI collection so he can also play 'Live Free or Die'. Lee's Hessians done, all figures by Pendraken in 10mm flags by Vaubanner . The column approaches. 1st Combined Grenadier Regt Top view In line Almost wide to deploy in line for my light box! Off they go Looking good Fusilier Regt von Dittfurth From up high Nice looking troops Column advances Just, go that, way! Sarge, we're going round in circles Grenadier Regiment Rall, at ease Thin blue line? The chords really make these figures pop Not sure they actually carried colours, but the pack came with a standard bearer, and after a bit of searching, I found something probable. Everyone's favourite, the Jagers Blending in, almost Player's eye view The whole batch British light infantry done and added to Lee's collection. Again, mixed facings as they were consolidated units. Top view Made of firing and advancing plus command figures Qu...
