After wrestling with the horsemen of Khand in my previous entry I have returned to the Dark Ages with some wonderful subjects: more Footsore Miniatures Welsh and some Gripping Beast Scots.
One of the packs in Footsore's Welsh Kickstarter was of "Knifemen".
Just like the archers, these are great sculpts.
Excellently sculpted facial features and hands.
Really nasty looking dudes.
I imagine them stabbing sentries in the back or hamstringing the horses of Norman patrols.
I bought a few Gripping Beast Scots second hand off the Lead Adventure Forum last year as I am still working on collecting forces for a four or five factions for Saga/Lion Rampant.
I gave the Warlord a white cloak(not sure about that choice); that's how you know he is fancy.
The painted shield design turned out ok... but I just noticed that I forgot to tidy up the boss afterwards.
These other 4 fellows would be Hearthguard in Saga.
The hair and beards are just painted straight up with contrast paints- no slapchop/highlighting/nonsense.
As they are post-Roman Scots, they could also double as Irish.
Like the Footsore figures, also very nice minis, very easy to paint.
So, that is:
9 x 28mm miniatures @ 5pts each equals 45 pts (no snickering up top there Chris W...)
Nice work on these chaps, Rob!

Nice work, Rob! You may doubt the headman and his fancy cloak, but that border stripe is very effective o n him! Nice detail work on these great minis!
ReplyDeleteNicely done, Rob. These look great.
