It's been a bit of an eclectic painting week as I finished off a couple of things I started too long ago.
Firstly, as a proof of concept, I finished a deep unit of Goths for To the Strongest! They aren't the points bomb they might appear to be, unfortunately. All but 6 of the figures were painted over a year ago, and have been lying around waiting for a few reinforcements and basing. The majority are Wargames Atlantic Goths, with six newly painted figures from Footsore. They are the 5 figures with helmets in the front rank, and another hairier chap up the back somewhere.
I like the guy who seems to have noticed the camera.
During the Challenge last year I enjoyed painting some lovely reivers from Flags of War. I assembled six broken men on foot, stuck them to their bases....and got sidetracked on to other things. It was a pleasure finally painting them this week. Who knows? At this rate I might finally have a game of Border Wars around AHPC XX.
12 figures for 60 points please Millsy!
From DaveD - aka Millsy . Ooh Alan they are cracking.i really like the mob look , the close packed tension of it all . I live in Reivers territory it’s always great to see these re-created . I’m making this up,to 65 my friend .







Lovely goths & reivers. A great looking mob.
ReplyDeleteVery nice entry. Lots of figures on one base really does give that mass effect.
ReplyDeleteThe reivers look good, but I really like that big unit of Goths, they look like they mean business.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff - I really like the Goth base and the mass "mob" effect. Seeing that I feel some of my own Goth heavy infantry bases look a bit skimpy by comparison.
ReplyDeleteThe massed Goth base is spectacular. I like the feel of the reivers as well. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThe colours on these are spot on and very evocative!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work, Alan! I love that big unit of Goths, especially the guys on the edges who are looking around, thinking, 'What am I doing here?' :) Also, I've been looking at those Border Reiver figures from Flags of War and your work here doesn't help my resolve.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Alan, those Goths look the business. The the Reivers look ready to steal Dave’s sheep
