My Ancients Command stands...

So far I have finished all of the command stands minus the Celts.  So here are the Roman, Dacian and Dacian King Decabalus command stands.  They are very simple with just gravel and and grass tufts as that is all I have at hand.  I hope you like them.  I tried to adjust the exposure up 0.7 for each to get more light onto them.  Let me know what you think...  Also all figures are Warlord Games figures.

My Warlord Celts are done for the time being.

Okay so I finished these a couple of days ago with the exception of the command stands which I am still working on.  Also not pictured are my Celtic slingers and archers, again still working on them, namely basing.  So anyway without any more preamble here they are... Now on to my Dacians.  after these guys I will being doing my SAGA forces and after that I dont know.  Either Greek/Spartans, Seleucids or Carthaginians to go with my EIR or Republican Romans respectively, what do you think?  I am leaning towards Spartans and Greeks...

Christmas Present Finally Arrives from Warlord Games this morning...

Well it finally arrived, my Dacian Army!!!  In Warlord Games defense my brother did not order it until Christmas Night.  Anyway I am very excieted to start these guys so I can add them to the Sarmatians I already have done plus 2 Dacian 40 man Warbands I already have done as well.  So in the next few weeks you will see these guys as I progress through them...

Cheers

28mm Warlord Games Roman Eagle bearer, Roman Mounted General and unit #2 Celtic Cavalry

Well I just finished these up sand grass tufts which I am out of at the moment.  These were all very nice models and cleaned up very well.  So far the only boxed set I had trouble with from these guys was the Roman Cavalry that I posted some time ago.  I would say however that I am beginning to notice a lack of muscle detail on the horses and am beginning to wonder if the were designed on AutoCAD as they just don't have the detail Foundry or Perry horses seem to. So anyway here they are and my first post of 2012...  Again sorry for the crappy pics, I am NOT a good photog...

28mm Warlod Games Celtic Fanatics and Balearic Slingers

I just finished these guys up from my collection of unpainted stuff.  They are Warlord Games Naked Celtic Fanatics and for my Roman Army Balearic Slingers.  Both were in units of 8 when I got them so I suppose I need more.  I really enjoyed painting the Slingers and I just well painted the fanatics...lol. Not much on painting naked chaps.  I would say that the scupts were done well but could use more variety.  So up first the Balearic Slingers.

Next will be the Celtic Fanatics... I have more pictures of them as they tend to be individual in their painting.  I had intended on painting hi-lights on the skin but then realized that I had the blue tattoo's on them and that wasn't going to work after I had used Army Painter dip process on them.  Anyway here they are...

28mm Gripping Beast Anglo-Danish and Viking test pieces

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... :)
