Here are a few close-ups:
Then the kings of the steppes, this time in 15mm from Essex miniatures, although the drummer on horse that is from Donnington Miniatures. These are from a sort of "50 shades of brown" project for Field of Glory Ancient-Medieval rules. These are the command bases:
Now a group of armoured cavalry:
I still need to finish another group like the one above, as well as three more battle groups of heavy cavalry. Stay tuned for more on those!
Très impressionant Gilles! An excellent variety of figures in this submission. The Egyptian archers are excellent, in particular with those signature Egyptian head caps - creates a total "Old Testament" vibe. And the ancient cavalry is very well done - "50 shades of brown" indeed! I don't much care for painting horses, and you have done an excellent job on this lot. Armoured cavalry and heavy cavalry are always some of the most fun units to use in any wargame, and these fellows look the business.
That is 182 points for you this week - we look forward to your soumission de la semaine prochaine!
Excellent, love the Egyptians
ReplyDeleteYou've done a smashing job on those Essex Mongols!
ReplyDeleteLovely work Gilles. I do have a soft spot for Mongols. Well, for pretty much all the Steppe horsemen :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice I realy dig those egyptians and the Mongols too. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted a Mongol army. These are tipping me closer to being committed. But I must wait until the challenge ends at the very least. I am weak and do not need much more temptation.
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting work.
ReplyDeleteProjects never finish, simply expand their scope! Seeing yours it reminds me I wish had never parted with my Mongol forces.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gloriously eclectic submission. I'm a huge fan of the Egyptian headgear too. Really nice detail on the 15mm chaps too, great at that scale.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff here Gilles. The Chariot era is one I have thought about but never tried. Your Egyptians are wonderful. I also love the Central Asian stuff - Bactrian camels and horse amour!
ReplyDeleteLove the Egyptians they hit the spot

Great painting Gilles!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat painting Gilles!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Really like the skin tones on the egyptians.
ReplyDeleteReally good work! Coming off the heels of Sander, the Egyptians remind me of the escapades I had with the old Atlantic Egyptian sets!
ReplyDeleteThe Egyptians are my favorites of this round, I really like that flesh tone on them, they look very good!
Lovely work Gilles! I particularly like your Egyptians and your groundwork is particularly evocative of the region. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteImpressive entry! A little bit of everything in there!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work!
ReplyDeleteGreat submissions. My favorite are the camels.
ReplyDeletethanks everyone;-)
ReplyDeleteReally brilliant. Great painting and super groundwork. I think the dusty/sand combo on the bases works really well.
ReplyDeleteNice selection of entries!
