15mm PSC Goths and Huns for Adrian.

 Three years ago, Adrian replumbed my house, in return he gave me a few boxes of PSC Goth and Huns to paint.

Last ten Hunnic bases which are flexible, hence the mix of two to a base and three to others; and two generals.
Finishes off the box.

Fluid lump of horse


Running round their opponents soon.

Two general stands


Twang!


Now onto Adrian's Samurai

Almost a horde. Again in muted colours as lower status troops.


8 bases of Huns for Adrian.  8)  Someone is borrowing this weekend, :D and Adrian can't make it...  :'(


In loose oorder so that his others in skirmish can allow him to be flexible

A tent that got delayed due to low stock...




 
Got the army finished*!
*Finished - until he gives me something else to paint!

Light horse - Adrian was collecting them that night, so the pva was still wet on the shrubbery.


Most muted of all the cavalry due to being less wealthy.


Fast, deadly at range, not much good in a stand up fight!

The camp, arrived on Monday, finished last night!


Mostlly Beuada


Pork dinner anyone?


Think it's done!


Two tents, does it make a camp?


Barrels, sacks, pots, pigs do!

 

Heavy cavalry and generals done.
Unit one


Still keeping with the slightly muted pallete


But with the edging to match the foot units


Six bases looking like one horde


Top view, because...


Not quite the charge of the Scots Greys...


Second units


Great many hairy horsemen!


Ride!


Third unit


Not bad for the cost of a replumbed house!


The only winner here are the dung beetles!


Armourerered lancers


I know there is little evidence for Gothic catafracts, but it allows Adrian(ople) to distingush his superior cavalry in his army.


I do think these came out quite well!


These could hurt if they run over your foot ( I once lost a toenail to a horse treading on mine)!


Generals, using up more of the FIB War and Empire Kickstarter Generals special, in the very centre features Arthur as a heavy cavalry general and Attila on the right, escorted by two Hunnic heavy cavalry (Adrian also bought a box of PSC Huns)

Shields picked to stand out


Horde leaders wanted, apply here, no previous experience needed...


The cavalry horde, it only just fitted in the light box!


It's a big batch!

Two units of Gothic archers finished for Adrian(ople).


Back view to show cloths




Tried to mute their colours compared to the warriors as lower status blokes.


However, high contrast hems makes them stand out!  Grin


Twang!


16 bases massed


After a conversation with Adrian, here are a unit of 'Goth' warriors


Each shield is a classic Goth Rock/Industrial/New Wave album cover, bonus points for each one you can name!


Top view to see the black (or very, very dark grey), again as 'flexibles' the two ranks have three to represent loose order or four for close order.


I went a little 'technogoth' on some details.


That is the 'Gothic Pride' flag, (LGBTQ+ goths are a thing you know) because I thought it looked really cool!




Goth general, actually a Forged in Battle general from their War & Empire kickstarted, this is King Krum of the Bulgars


Yes, he is drinking from a skull cup of Emperor Nikephoros I!


Resplendent



32 more bases of Gothic type infantry completed, figures by PSC and shield transfers by LBMTop


As ever, rear rank are in loose formation as the unts are 'flexible', hence less figures per base


Top view, I think we have hit horde propotions!


1st 8 bases

Scared yet?


No, thought not!
Unit 3


Unit 4

 

The first two units I did for Adrian

 Think I've got the better end of the deal! 

Adrianople anyone? 

PSC Goths and Little Big Man shield transfers.
Gothic infantry started.

MOB!


Second unit

Extra stand (this was where I ran out of bases)


Quite a horde! There are 5 more foot units to go!

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   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 Ral Patha sheep - a ram raider! There are quite a few more of these to do, but this one fell off the lead pile while I was looking for something else. He ...

Legion Imperialis 8mm - Civitas ruins boxed set.

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' in 6mm, GW have released Legion Imperialis in 8mm. Marine booster pack painted up, group photos! Mixed bag About 100 extra points on table!  "Did I miss the photoshoot?" *FACEPALM* These are the ones I've be...
