Footsore Miniatures Welsh Archers

My latest entry in the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge is 12 early medieval Welsh archers from Footsore Miniatures.


These were part of a Kickstarter they ran in late 2021, with pledges shipped out early this past autumn.


I got 3 packs of 4 archers, 4 different poses, as I was building units with Lion Rampant and Saga in mind.



The minis feature great faces and hands; very easy and enjoyable to paint.


I have a number of other packs as part of my pledge and they all look as great as these bowmen.

Saxons, Sassanids and More Khand For The AHPC

 To a degree, more of the same as my last two entries: 15mm Sassanids and a Charioteer of Khand, and similar to last year, some 28mm Dark Ages figures.


Bit of a mish-mash of subjects but at least they are connected by being mounted. A couple of stands of Sassanid mounted archers.


I cannot recall the manufacturer; I bought them second hand online a year or two ago.





I also got started on my Saxons from Bob Murch's 1066 Kickstarter; two mounted Thegns:



These are wonderful figures; great sculpts, very easy to paint and nice, clean casting.



Being Thegns, I probably should have added a bit more trim to the tunics but I was in a bit of a rush to get them done by Thursday


Finally a chariot for my small band of Khandish mercenaries:
 

Like the previous batch of GW's Warriors of Khand, this unit is a little rough in spots.


As you can see, the whole model almost fits on the base it comes with.


Next on the painting desk are some Welsh archers for the AHPC.
