Here is the third and final instalment of Andy’s recently finished Dark Ages figures.<\/em><\/p>\n

Above we have four figures from Westwind Productions DS04<\/a> Character pack, comprising (left to right) Arthur, a Bishop, Merlin and Owain.<\/p>\n

The pack came with a selection of heads and shields for Arthur and Owain however, at some point in the painting process (interrupted by Christmas when I had to clear my painting table) I lost the shields. So Owain now has a spare Saxon shield and, as I used a Romano-British looking head for Arthur, I gave him a Late Roman shield, both from Gripping Beast Plastics.<\/p>\n

Paints are primarily Vallejo acrylics over a grey primer finished off with Army Painter washes. Arthur and Owain’s shields were painted white and finished with Battle Flag or Little Big Men Studios transfers.<\/p>\n

Unknown source, Ral Partha Bard, Gripping Beast Blind Seer, Gripping Beast Viking Warlord<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The last four figures from this batch are from a variety of manufacturers.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure where the figure on the left came from, Irregular or Lamming perhaps? The figure was originally unarmed, so I drilled out his right hand and fitted an axe from the spares box. If I need him to fill out a unit I may give him a shield.<\/p>\n

Next in line is a bard or skald from Ral Partha Europe<\/a>, he\u2019s playing a harp of some form.<\/p>\n

The Skald<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The last two models are both from Gripping Beast. First off is the Blind Seer and his boy<\/a>, finally a Viking Warlord<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After these were finished I had a bit of a diversion in scale and period, doing some 15mm Sci Fi figures before returning to the Dark Ages with some Saxon Thegns, but more of those later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
