From VictorK: Gallic allies in 15mm (105 Points)

Ok, shifting from both sci-fi and 28mm to 15mm Antique, I've painted 50 Gauls. These figures are from Old Glory 15s, and are a mixture from 3 different packs - armoured, with tunics and in trousers only (haven't purchased fully naked, these are too barbaric for roman allied group)
Having about 20 different variants of miniatures was even more worsened (complicated) by the wish to paint them as unique as possible.

I have a camera with a very low focal distance, so the photos are too blurry =(








The bases were covered with white quartz sand, washed with Vallejo Sepia Wash and then covered with flock grass. Simple it is.

There are about 70 more Gallic warriors to go, including commanders (chieftans?), banners and musicians, but my next post will be about Iberians and, maybe, some more sci-fi for our RPG.

Also, mentioning weather in my first post was a mistake, I've said that it's not a winter in Saint-Petersburg. Now -20C are encouraging to be at home all the time and never leave it, but the session of our RPG doesn't depends on weather.


I know you had some trouble with your camera with these Victor, but these shots are great. A brilliant, riotous bunch of Gauls here. The shield designs really make the unit pop, and I imagine these colourful warriors will look great on the table alongside the uniform Roman legions.
-20, wow! we just had the first a flurry of snow in the UK and its set off the annual winter panic. Still, sounds like and ideal time to stay indoors, paint and game 
I'm going to add a few extra points for your painted shield designs Victor, as I'm always impressed by painters that can make that work so well in the smaller scales. So 105 points!
