From MattW - Infamy, Infamy of a sort… Lady Sarah…Science Fiction, General Maximus & Bob 185 points

 Infamy Infamy ....well sort of

First up this week a quick ride in lady Sarah’s limousine from Black and White to Science Fiction 

For my payment let me present Marguerite of Anjou, painted for the invasion of England during the War of the Roses, a Perry 28mm miniature. Inspiration for her dress from her portrait in Angers Chateau which we visit regularly. 




Next up the Science Fiction challenge are two versions of Cybermen, I remember seeing these fine chaps for the first time on Dr Who in the seventies as a young child, they are a mix of early and late versions and almost feel like cheating in some way….simple silver, ink wash, highlight. I would like some more but not sure of the maker, the older type were soft plastic and later Cybermen are hard plastic. I have painted them both with moon bases as that was the original story I seen in the seventies. 

Old and new Cybermen

My favourite Cybermen miniatures

Third one complete for Green, but have another planned....


Infamy, Infamy…..of a sort, Foundry miniatures naked Germans, these are great miniatures, but skin takes a lot longer than you think…I still have 30 odd too do…. Some more Infamy coming! 

Naked Germanics, must be a hot summer for once

Four more Germanic Archers from Warlord Games these are really lovely miniatures,and will join the skirmish madness!

And who doesn't like a bunch of naked, hairy Germans? Well, Maximus doesn't, I suppose. Nice mixed bag of stuff from you this week, Matt!

    1. Thanks mate, the Germans were painful so many layers of skin tone…. But really happy with them. Maximus was a breeze to paint 5 colours….

  13. Great tackle-out tribesmen - I was just reading one theory for the nekkid fighting is that wounds were less likely to become infected and fatal because filthy fabric didn't get pushed into them.
