Last Entry For The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

 My last entry for the AHPC was my first go at some Victrix Miniatures plastics; some Anglo-Saxon Ceorls.

8 warriors with shields and hand weapons (mostly spears), made using the bodies from the Dark Ages Archers  kit with helmeted heads, weapons and shields from the Anglo/Danes kit. 

I was originally going to base them in multiples but I couldn't decide between 40mm square bases or Impetus basing (120mm by 60mm).

This way they are perfectly usable for Saga, Ravenfeast or Lion Rampant. If needed for a larger battle there is always the movement tray option.

These are great kits and the parts from the two are easily interchangeable. Although in the past I have  not enjoyed painting shields I am starting to enjoy it.

With the AHPC over my and spring hitting this island I expect my production to slow down however I plan to slowly pick away at various ranges; I am currently working on another wave of Bloody Miniatures ECW.

Saxons, Sassanids and More Khand For The AHPC

 To a degree, more of the same as my last two entries: 15mm Sassanids and a Charioteer of Khand, and similar to last year, some 28mm Dark Ages figures.

Bit of a mish-mash of subjects but at least they are connected by being mounted. A couple of stands of Sassanid mounted archers.

I cannot recall the manufacturer; I bought them second hand online a year or two ago.

I also got started on my Saxons from Bob Murch's 1066 Kickstarter; two mounted Thegns:

These are wonderful figures; great sculpts, very easy to paint and nice, clean casting.

Being Thegns, I probably should have added a bit more trim to the tunics but I was in a bit of a rush to get them done by Thursday

Finally a chariot for my small band of Khandish mercenaries:

 

Like the previous batch of GW's Warriors of Khand, this unit is a little rough in spots.

As you can see, the whole model almost fits on the base it comes with.

Next on the painting desk are some Welsh archers for the AHPC.
