15mm Lurkio Skythians for Hammy

"Tonight on the Great Leighton Buzzard Bake Off, it's Skythian week."

By pure coincidence, both Paul 'Dracostandard' Cummins and I have been painting Lurkio Skythians. While I am absolutely sure his efforts will knock mine into a cocked hat, here is my presentation to the judges.

Hammy will base these himself, after I deliver them this weekend.

The whole batch. 

Heavy cavalry
 
Lurkio does a good mix of characters.
Rear view.


Horse archers (with a couple of heavies mixed in, as I was running out of sticks)


Rear view


Commanders and standards.


A view I am unlikely to see, Hammy's generals retreating!

For those of you who read morse, I hid Hammy's name on some of the shields...

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   Mutant Zombie by CP Models Or just a mutant? Nota nice looking chap That's not going to clear up anytime soon!
