Okay I have been working on these since Christmas and wanted to get the opinion on these 2 test pieces. They are all from the Gripping Beast Plastic Boxed sets. I mounted them on GW 25mm Rounds to be used with either SAGA or Skjaldborg Rules sets. I have not done the basing on them yet in case someone pointed out something that needed to be adjusted. These figures in this post are from both command frames in each boxed set. Anyway first up with be 8 pictures of the Viking Leader/Jorl and the banner bearer. Also these are the flags that came with the boxed sets, I am NOT happy with them at all but I do not have any replacements at hand so those will be changed later.
Next are the Anglo-Danish or Saxons, however you want to use them I guess. First up will be the Leader/Eorl and then the banner bearer. Please let me know what you think and any adjustments that should be made. Also I Hand Painted these Shields so if they like really aren't that great well you know why...I wanted to try my hand at Hand Painting these Shields as well as for my Normans when I post them. But that will depend on how these shields are received. So here are the next 8 pictures.
Okay well that's it for this post, again please let me know constructively what you think... These also are for the table top not a contest or anything... :)

Nice looking figures. Especially like the viking shield, is it LBM transfer or hand painted
ReplyDeletegreat looking minis!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do the lighting for the pics? I have to rely on having decent light outdoors.
Cheers
Paul
PS..the Knights are plastic
Beautiful work. The figures look great. The shields are just wonderful. Very very well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, Scotty I hand painted these shields, I wanted to have a go to see if I could do them...
ReplyDeleteCheers
Paul as to your question. I always photograph inside at my painting table which has crappy light to begin with, but unfortunately where I live the sun is low on the horizon and always casts a shadow at this time of year so I don't think moving outside will change much as I feel shadows are just about as bad as crappy lighting.

Very nice!!! Great flags! Never heard of Anglo-Dutch??? Did you mean Anglo-Danish?
