Germania
The real business has started with my Germanic Tribesmen, 120 odd to paint over the coming weeks. A lot on the desk at the moment but fitting things on the 60x60 bases has been a hassle with the warlord poses. I have had to make up models for specific spots so no rubbing with the bases either side or overhanging spears.
First unit are my Woden sanctuary protectors with the totem matching my original opening entry. A mix of Foundry, warlord and some Victrix bits.
18 x 28mm Germanic tribesmen @ 5 points = 90 points
18 x 28mm Germanic tribesmen @ 5 points = 90 points
Einherjar Harii tribesmen worshipers of the Woden cult and associated with the wild hunt. I have decorated them with black painted wicker shields and black warpainted bodies as described by Tacitus. Figures from Warlord games range.
7 x 28mm Germanic tribesmen @ 5 points = 35 points
Finally some individually based figures for skirmish gaming also or can rank up behind the larger bases.
12 x 28mm German tribesmen @ 5 points = 60 points
Total points 275

Fantastic work, Matt! Do we get the other 65 next week?
Tamsin
Yes I plan too, plus I have another box to build so I can match and fit the other bases, plus archers and slingers too
Cheers
Wonderful work Matt. I know they were a bit of a bother, but I really like those massed bases.
ReplyDeleteCheers Curt, I am really happy with them, the warlord poses can be a little problematic so green stuff and chopping on the crouching figure in particular.I had to paint a lot to get them to fit properly, so now I have made up units and painting by numbers so they fit, I have left quite a few unbuilt to finish off the bases as I get towards the end.
DeleteYeah, I get it. I hate having overhanging bits on my massed bases - it's a recipe for future swearing and repairs. :)
DeleteOUTSTANDING! You have done a great job with those bases, love them; the paint work is fantastic
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, really happy with them, I am theming each base a little also, so brown, black, grey fur coming
DeleteNice job Matt
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave, more spear chuckers to come
DeleteSuper work Matt, great shields and skin plus the basing is excellent
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, I blend my own flesh so I get variation in the units
DeleteNice work, Matt! I like the animation of the big bases and spots of Roman armor bits scattered among them. The wicker and the scratched shields...very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteCheers David, yes at first not a big fan of the wicker shields, now I wish I had more
Deletegreat stuff, they look mad bad and dangerous
ReplyDeleteYes chunky bad bastards I think, really happy how they are progressing
DeleteOoo nice work Matt.
ReplyDeleteCheers Ray

ReplyDeleteCheers Jez
Thank you Jez, they do offer some presence that is for sure
DeleteThe dudes look great crowded onto those bases! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dallas, a bit of work to get the brush in there though!
DeleteThe horde look is great. A hassle but worth the effort. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bruce, if you have ever tried tonnage warlord celts or Germans you would understand fully the challenge
DeleteSplendid, Matt! The mass bases work really well and the painting is fabulous. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you, really happy with them
DeleteAwesome looking Germans! The mix of manufacturers and the wicker shields work really well!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Yes the foundry fit nicely with the warlord that is for sure.
DeleteReally cool Matt - just the thing to oppose your Legions of Caesar! The massed basing, while painful to do, gives a really flavoursome dynamic. What rules are you using?
