Thursday From RossM Late Romans, Early Saxons, Late Crusaders and Undead (90 points)

Last Thursday post here and similar themes from previous post are being carried through.

First up is a command stand for the Late Roman army being rebased for ADLG in 28mm.


The figure painted for the challenge is the horn blower. As this figure was the only Foundry cavalryman I had, I have tried to sell him on several occasions; glad now I didn't.





The other figure, also from Foundry has been rebased here from a unit of light cavalry. Thinking that rebasing should be repurposing as this is really what is being achieved.

Next are four speed painted Curtey Miniatures Early Saxons, painted for a gaming friend who wanted figures to use in a GURPS game he is running. Twenty minutes a figure, block and wash.



The spearhead broke and not for love nor money could I get it to stick back on. Recon it would still smart though.


Not really a fan of dipping or washing for shade on entire figures, that said it looks good and gritty here and will fit in well with the theme of the game they will be used in.


Next are another three stands of Late Crusader infantry from Gladiator Miniatures. These are also painted using block and wash, however this works better on this scale in my opinion.






Some classic Citadel Skeletons to go with the wights from previous post. Still rocking after all these years!




everybody conga!
Last but by no means least are three stands of bats for Hordes of The Things in 15mm. These will probably last longer on the table than on the shelf. Fragile to say the least.




So there ends the last Thursday entry and I calculate the points at

1x 28 mm Cavalry figures = 10 points
10 x 28mm infantry figures = 50 points
12 x 15mm infantry figures = 24 points
3 15mm stands = 6 points

For a total of 90 points

Cheers for now

Love the horn blowing late Roman cavalryman, really excellent work! The Saxons work really well, I can't really tell they've been speed painted,I think they're rather good. Nice to see some additions to your Crusaders,but my favourites are the old school skellies, oh and the bats are mad!
 90 points it is!

All the best Iain

  3. Nice collection of miscellany. That spear looks like it would be a bugger to replace without damaging the paint job.

    1. Thanks Paul, it wasn't worth the hassle of trying to fix; not enough of the ferrule left to glue to.

      Cheers, Ross

  8. What a great eclectic mix to choose from, I do think the Skellies are my favourite figures out of the bunch. Cool work!

  9. Lovely stuff, Ross. I'd be terrified of moving those bats around the table!
