This is a small test-batch before I start mass-painting the rest of the foot. I wanted to get a feel for the minis before diving in. I honestly was surprised at the difference between these (admittedly OLD ) minis and modern plastics. It seems that the millimeter has undergone considerable expansion in the intervening years as these lads are significantly smaller that the last batch of plastics I painted. I also noticed that the detail, while present, is both finer and a bit foggy compared to plastic kits.
That said they turned out OK. I haven't based them yet as I wish to get the whole lot painted before I commit to basing the models.
the long spears promise to be a bother for both storage and basing
the cow-hide shields remind me of Zulu warriors
the sculptor was kind enough to include a post on the arm of the mini
and corresponding hole in the back of the shield to help ensure a solid joint
thank-you from the bottom of my heart!
Nice looking minis! A couple of my friends are being drawn towards Bronze Age warfare, so I am thinking that may end up being a 2027 project for me, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I do what I can with my limited skills. I first wanted to run this army under the old WRG 6th but there was no way I could afford the 25+ chariots needed. Then I was going to run it using SAGA rules but the gloss came off that idea pretty quick. Under Midgard the number of chariots is reasonable so here I am, painting at last
