Very fine brushwork, Matt! I especially like the rock-throwing hobbits and Perseus. Great stuff.

From JP: Germanic foot heroes and leaders (35 points)

These are the last of my Germanics, barring something I can use as a camp for To The Strongest. Part of me is glad they are done and another part misses painting nice Foundry Germans!

Without further ado:

So, that's 7 x 28mm foot for 35 points.

Working on my Marians for next week!

What a great finish to this army JP! They look suitably menacing and like they mean buiseness, great painting. I can't wait to see the Marians to oppose them.

From JP : Last Cimbrian German Units (I hope) (130 points)

These are the last of my Foundry Cimbrian Germans, excepting leaders and heroes (for To The Strongest). It has taken me a while and I wanted to put them in together instead of a boring trickle...

The cavalry unit is one of three I plan to field and is a mix of  noble horse with their mixed foot contingent, which helped Germanic cavalry have some 'punch'.

As you can tell from the number of pics, I'm rather fond of how these turned out!

And now the foot unit:

So:

 Cavalry    6 x 28mm     =  60

Foot         14 x 28mm    =  70

                                         130 points

Thanks for looking folks 

 What a whopper to finish this great project JP! I specially love the combined mounted and foot troops base, it gives for a very dynamic looking unit indeed! Awesome painting as always and I am looking forward to what you will be showing us next!

 Cheers Sander  

From: JP Yawn, more Early Germans (50 points)

Don't say I didn't warn you folks! I am hell bent determined to chew through these, though I still want to do some other periods! Pinning the shields remains a annoying process.

Another warband of angry Teutonic Terrors. These are dedicated to a very dear friend of 50 years whose paintbrush is currently convalescing! Get well soon!!

I hope my opponent doesn't see this angle too often!

So: 10 x 28mm = 50 points

As always, thanks for looking!

Now now JP, nothing to yawn at in your post mate, these are still brilliant to goggle at!  Most of us Challengers are hobby-butterflies and flutter from the one project to the other, mostly always before finishing what we started. You are one of those rare stalwarts that soldiers on (see what I did there?) and tries to finish his projects and I think we all admire that quality a lot! And it also really helps that you have painted these Germans up in the same consistently great level of painting as the rest of your work. So keep it up and let us see you finish this project!

Cheers Sander  

From JP: The Germanic Hordes grow (50 points)

I am plowing through my lovely Foundry figures, it is not a chore but a labour of love. Now I need an opportunity this year to field them as opponents are sparse - so many periods, scales and interests abound now days that I literally miss the days of WRG rules dominating all gaming periods!

That's 10 x 28mm = 50 points.

Thanks for looking!

JP

The fact that your current project is one of Love not Labour can be clearly seen JP, wath dedication you show in all these individual and unique schemes for shields and cloths of these ancient Germans is brilliant! 

Cheers Sander  

From JP - Early Germanic Foot (30 Points)

Well, I think this Analog will see me reach the end of my Cimbrian adventures, where the Germans are concerned. If you've seen my work the past two years, you know I have an obsession with fighting the Cimbrian Wars. My 28mm collection is made up for Victrix and Foundry figures. Earlier this year, I picked up a sizable order of Foundry's Copplestone Early Germans as I love his sculpting style. My Victrix are great, but metal is still my favourite medium.

WARNING: not everyone is clothed in this mob...

Without further ado, here are six Cimbrian skirmishers, mainly Suebi, looking for their first trophies, though one seems to have gotten a bit ahead of the rest (trophy wise). 

That's  6 x 28mm = 30 points

More to come... lots more... not to mention the Marians...

_______________________________

Lovely work on these early Germans, JP. Like you, I really enjoy the sculpts from Copplestone. Such nice, clean lines, with just enough detail - easy to paint. Your basework and sabots look excellent as well, another unit for the barbarian horde! I look forward to more hairy Germans and the promised Marians.
