More Dark Ages For The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

 As I continued to trundle through this winter's Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge I added to my Dark Ages project: I painted some more of the Footsore Miniatures Welsh, as well as some Gripping Beast Scots I bought secondhand off of the Lead Adventure Forum. 



Although I do not have much for Scots figures in my collection, these could double as an Irish chieftain and his  hearthguard.


These are wonderful figures to paint. I tried to mark the warlord out with his white cloak; not sure it was the best choice.



If I add another figure I would have a nice bodyguard for my the warlord for games of Lion Rampant.





These Welsh Knifemen are just as wonderful as the archers. 


Characterful sculpts and lovely clean castings.




I imagine this fellow would fit right in as an assassin or thief in an RPG:


I am not sure how I would fit these knifemen into a unit for Saga or Lion Rampant. With 4 other similar figures I suppose they could be bought as Scouts from the Mercenaries section for Saga or I could throw them into a unit of Bidowers for Lion Rampant, even though they are clearly not armed with bows or slings.
