This is the first half of the II/11 Gallic army for either DBA 2.2 or 3.0. Shields look better from distance and I had a good time paintinng them. Next will be chariots, cavalry, psiloi and a warband general.
Figures and bases from Essex. I really like Essex figures but their bases are awful as they are made of a poor plastic quality conglomerate that crumbles on the corners and makes the borders rather coarse. I filled their holes with a thick cover of white glue, but they still are crumpy and do not slide smoothly when you try to move one unit touching others. I do not recommend them to anyone.

Great work on the warbands Javier! Shields look great close up as well
ReplyDeletePity about the bases being so difficult to work with. You have done a great job with them.
Thanks Ben. These bases are a huge disappointment and I just hope they will allow me to play normally. Cheers
DeleteHi Javier, nice warband! Well painted 15mm figures are always impressive. I already find it difficult to paint 1/72 figures, smaller scales seem impossible, but what you achieved is excellent! I'm looking forward to seeing your horses :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil. Shields are doable but tartan on clothes in 15mm is beyond my skills and eyesight. Yours in 1/72 are fantastic. Cheers.
DeleteGreat job. Painting Gauls always requires a bit more planning. You can churn out your Romans and your Carthaginians by the unit but the Gauls you have to think of as individuals. Sorry to hear about the basing issues.
ReplyDeleteYes, you have to deal with Gauls individually, but that makes them more appealing. Thank ou Aaron :)
