AdamC - Dark Age Warriors (36 points)
Now we have 6 more 28mm Dark Age raiders that should be good for another 30 points
Not much to say about these that hasn't been said in other posts I did this group as all spear-men so I could theoretically use them as skirmishers.
The most ambitious of my hand painted shields in this batch a bird of pray or maybe a raven as was popular among the Vikings
For the rest I went with much simpler designs
Runes always make good shield decorations
More geometric lines and shapes
Runes again this time without any pater behind them
Finally the spiral lines this ones a favorite approach for me as it looks cool but its fairly easy to do.
From Curt:Nice work Adam! No one can have too many Dark Age raiders, well, except for villagers, priests, farmers, young women... Okay forget that. Nice shields thought (the raven one my personal favourite)!
Nice work on these. This army is coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteYou're getting very good at the free hand on your shields. The bird of prey is a nice effort and I also like the spiral shield. As you said, that does look cool.
ReplyDelete"except for villagers, priests, farmers, young women... "
ReplyDeleteWill no-one think of the cattle?!?
Great stuff Adam. Keep em coming mate and we want to see a group shot soon too...
You will before the end of the challenge
DeleteVery nice painting work.
ReplyDeleteDarkages is my thing, so very pleased to see more of it in the challenge. Nice job on these with lots of decoration, just as it should be.
ReplyDeleteCome on Curt.. Time you hand painted some shields... Just like these lovely ones!
ReplyDeletea nice addition to your dark age forces Adam :)
ReplyDeleteNicely done. Whenever I see Dark Age troops it makes me always think of the film 'Erik the Viking'.
ReplyDeleteThe spiral shield design is a very cool idea, which I'll probably be borrowing ;)
Borrow away Roy! and yes Dark Age raider do tend to be hard on a few villagers, priest and maidens... not to mention cattle.
ReplyDeleteI have to concur, Adam, a group shot of your horde wold be nice! Good work on the shields too, I like the raven.
ReplyDeleteOnce the project is done I will post them all. At the moment there are less then 20 including a few from before the challenge and a couple that can't be revealed yet because they are tied to on of the Bonus Rounds
DeleteA fearsome bunch. Nice shields.
