Well, the Analogue Hobbie Painting Challenge XI has come to a close and my final entry is 8 Dark Ages Irish from Crusader Miniatures.
I liked the look of the Crusader Irish- the mix of bare chests, cloaks and vests- so I ordered 8 more.
In Saga terms these are warriors, armed with javelins.
Although there are 8 figures, there are only 4 poses, but not a big deal. They were fun to paint and painted up both quickly and well.
I may collect a few more as I have a Anglo-Norman force for Lion Rampant and with a suitable Irish force they could face off against each other in games set in the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland.
Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteThank you JF.
DeleteYou have done a lovely job on these Dark ages Irish - do you get extra points for doing it very near St Patricks Day??
ReplyDeleteI suppose I should have! I missed that actually😄.
DeleteSuperb javelinmen, I love the subtile colors...
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil- the clothing was mostly done using Coat D'Arms Horse colours.
DeleteVery nice work! I also did a Dark Ages Irish army for SAGA a few years ago and really enjoyed playing it; hope you do too!
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul. I don't know if I will ever get to use them. I haven't played since 1st and the only other fella I know who has played Saga is over an hour away.
DeleteThese looks great, and your flesh work is terrific.
ReplyDeleteExcellent looking figures, I do like Crusader minis.
ReplyDeleteThank you both. I have a few packs of Crusader Miniatures; I think these are my favourite so far.
ReplyDeleteNice looking dudes. Should be a nice LR force.
ReplyDeleteBare chests, cloaks, and vests huh? Maybe I’m Irish since it sounds like my wardrobe. 😀
