So we have a Midgard play test coming up I better get some more Arthurian painted right?
I hope to get a couple more units complete. My figures are aimed at Hail Caesar but fortunately two bases from a unit of 3 bases are the perfect frontage for Midgard so I just need to split units up to create more.
A key gap is Hero's which is an important factor for Midgard.
Not surprisingly then my first addition is a Champion, this is Agravaine I think from Warlord, suitably Heroic figure and nice to paint. The Black cloak in Homage to a recent Arthurian Fiction novel byI have a while bunch of Plastics to build, paint and mix in with my metal figures so here are a couple of Gripping Beast to mix in a unit. Very simple to paint so speeding things up for me and mix in quite well with the Foundry and Crusader metal figures.
I picked up a bunch of reasonably well painted Saxons and Franks from ebay, all Foundry figures. I have re-painted faces to match mine, the shields were the real concern, they have transfers that are too small for the shield so look odd, I have painted one of the below from scratch and tried painting over the other two to tidy them up with mixed results. Still a quick solution to more figures on table.
This pack of 8 Crusader Romano British have the same relaxed vibe as the Foundry ones already painted and whilst a bit chunkier fit in quite well on the bases.
The three Leaders/Champions of the Romano British, two lovely old Foundry mounted leaders and a Warlord dismounted figure.
And here are the first lot of Romano British Spearmen completed, 3 bases makes a unit for Hail Ceasar and 2 bases works for Midgard.
Two more Pictish bases is another Midgard unit, a few more to do to complete it as a unit for Hail Caesar.
Last up a Pictish leader/Champion from Footsore. This image is a bit dodgy as the lights on the light box gave out.
A bit of messing about and the lights are fixed, here he is with proper lighting!
On table soon, thanks for stopping by.
