So I received the cavalry box and quickly painted five riders for one unit of hearthguard and the leader on horse, to have a six points army to play SAGA again. Right now I am using them as Last Romans or Byzantines, but later I will be using them as Romano British for the Arturus and Aetius supplement.
This picture below shows what it gives you the infantry box, five points army.
I gave them base colour, acrylic bitumen of Judea and then quick lights from waist upwards with the same base colours. Shields are LMB decals.
Two units of eight warriors with archers from the box.
I used LBM decals for the Gripping Beast metal figures which resulted a bit smaller than for their plastic range, so I had to paint the outer borders to cover the whole shield as you can notice from the picture below.
Here a picture of the six point army I am playing with at the moment but I am painting another unit of cavalry!
Another caption of cavalry next to infantry and mounted on Sally Forth movement trays.
Splendid, colorful and splendid...well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil, very kind :)
DeleteExcellent results - very impressive and an inspiration to a slow painter like me!
ReplyDeleteI usually treat plastics this way. With metals I take more care ;-)
