The first of a trio of painting updates from Andy<\/em><\/p>\n

These are Artizan Design<\/a> figures, six Hirdmen with two handed axes and two Hirdmen \u201cwith spears\u201d. I bought these second hand from Colonel Bill\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The spearmen didn\u2019t come with spears, so I gave one of the spearmen a standard, using a brass spear and a \u201cRaven Standard\u201d drawn up in PowerPoint; the other I decided to make a Jarl and gave him a spare sword from a Gripping Beast<\/a> Plastic Saxon Thegn boxes.<\/p>\n

The figures were undercoated black and then block painted in various shades of Vallejo browns, greys and greens. They were then washed in appropriate Army Painter washes, with the quilted leather armour getting a couple of coats.<\/p>\n

The two shields were painted plain white on the front and transfers from Little Big Men Studios<\/a> and Battle Flag<\/a> applied before varnishing.<\/p>\n
