2022 end of spring update

 

Nolzurs trolls

Byzantine Excubitores 450-750. I filled the ranks out to 15. These were made with fireforge Russians/Scandinavian bods and mostly GB saxon heads with victrix plumes. 

Fireforge Byzantine archers with arms from other sets as I used up the actual Byzantine archer arms for horse archers. 

Fireforge Byzantine Spearmen with a few auxiliary arms in the front rank. The shields were my first go at Tamiya tape, I think they came out nicely. My Byzantine forces will deploy as Gondorians, Easterling City militia, and of course Byzantines. 

Fireforge Spanish Almogavars with round shields and three west wind arthurian heads in the front rank. These guys will deploy as Carolingians, Scandinavian Leidang Crusaders, and Tolkien westerners.

Another update to keep tabs on my output.

L TO R

WA Persian with Victrix Dacian head and WA Irish shield, Victrix German, NS familiar, Reaper Wizard

Warlord Celts with Victrix Numidian Heads and NS torch

WA Persians with WA Roman heads and darts. These guys will be light troops for Late Romans and Fantasy troops

WA Persian Bods with WA Roman Heads and arms. Again, Late Roman Troops to double as western imperial fantasy troops

Exclusively NS bits, most from the knight set and some Dwarven bits thrown in

Mantic Northern Clansmen pre wash and basing. I based these with dark earth but am still on the fence whether I should add snow. 

I wanted to fill the ranks of the heavy dwarf regiments so I began using some of the regular dwarf soldier bodies with heavy heads and arms to fill out ranks. 

FF Byzantine Koursores with bank rank converted into horse archers with FF auxiliary bits. I did'nt add shields to the lancers, as lancers pre 600 usually didnt have shields as far as I can tell. Without shields these guys are decent for a huge time period, but I am still on the fence about adding shields. 

GW Lotr Goblins. I have had these unpainted for nearly 20 years. Oathmark finally gave me the urge to fill out ranks.

NS light dwarves and metal command

Victrix Normans to stand in as Late Franks, early crusaders, and fantasy westerners. 

Victrix Normans to stand in as Late Franks, early crusaders, and fantasy westerners. 

Reaper Metal Elf Barbarian, I painted for Chris

GB dark age bodies with WA persian heads and FF mongol shields. These guys are good for persians, Sassanids, and Fantasy Desert City Troops

NS Light Dwarf Rangers and one Metal Command

NS Light Dwarf infantry with NS Barbarian arms on the officer

Updated Dwarf Spearmen with newly equipped tower shields (victrix Roman shields)

Victrix Vikings and some conversions here and there

two more victrix normans

NS Demons, I made more of these after so I am assuming I filled the ranks to ten finished.

Light Infantry for Fantasy Humans and early medieval. Mostly Victrix normans with some other bits thrown in.

These guys were made to fill out my NS Human regiment. They were made with Victrix Norman bodies and some NS heads and shields.

GW Lotr Goblins

FF Byzantine cataphracts

GW Lotr hobbits and Gimli

Crappy Picture of GB Pictish Cavalry

Perry English Bowmen with FF Sergeant heads and Greenstuff

GB Teutonic Bishop

GB Huns. 7 more Horse archers awaiting paint. These will work as generic steppe warriors historical and fantasy.

 

2020/2021 update

Another overdue picture dump of my scattered projects. 2020 and 2021 really saw me eat into some of my oldest back log as well as my ability to instantly buy and paint new items. 

Wargames Atlantic Irish with one GB viking head on the left and victrix celt heads on the right. I did not love the wargames atlantic irish heads. I only purchased one sprue. 

Orc archers from GB bodies and oathmark heads and arms

Oathmark Elf Light infantry

North Eastern European warriors GB viking body and FF Russian head, and a GB Metal Rus

Artizan Carolingians that will double as Tolkien Westerners

Oathmark Elves with hoplite shields

Trying to keep track of my victrix vikings

Frostgrave cultist bods, FG wizard arms and greenstuff heads. The left head is an old GW skeleton skull and the right is a Frostgrave demon head with a greenstuff attempt at a mask/animal skull

Frostgrave Barbarian with a westwind saxon head

Victrix saxon thegn with an oathmark light elf head that I made from a oyumaru mold

Here I began my oathmark elf cavalry from victrix macedonian cav with oathmark elf heads that I molded with oyumaru

Some random figures here with a perry WOR archer victrix dacian and Footsore beserker with GB north eastern shield

The finished Oathmark elven cavalry

 On the left we have aventine early byzantine archers and on the right plastic fireforge byzantine auxiliaries. All made in mind to double as tolkien westerners

Byzantine Spearmen with byzantine fireforge heads, victrix saxon heads and two fireforge Russian heads for the officer types. The bodies are mostly fireforge sergeants with two byzantine auxiliary armored bodies. 

Fireforge byzantine auxiliaries with some victrix celtic heads thrown in.

GB timurid metal afghan tribesmen

These are meant to be Eastern German migration era infantry from Victrix Dacians, Fireforge scandinavians, GB goth cav heads, GB viking bodies, GB dark age cav heads, and one artizan carolingian on the left.

Fellowship era GW metals

Fireforge Resin Druzhina painted up as Lithuanian Cavalry. They have Perry shields that I oyumarud to make the distinctive Baltic/Lithuanian Pavise. I backed the Fireforge Russian Kickstarter many years ago and when I recieved these minis I emailed fireforge to tell them how dissapointing the miniatures were as the sculpts look very off. However, now that I have painted them many years later they are way more acceptable now that they are painted. I dont think Fireforge has sold too many of these kits. 

Victrix Saxons painted up to Double as Tolkien Westerners

Here we have Artizan and GB carolingians painted as Carolingians and tolkien westerners with a few kitbashed figures and a GB scot as Boromir.

Saga Age of Invasions V2 is featuring Sassanids. So I figured my Dark Age Steppe/Iranian Cav might need some foot to accompany them. These are Wargames Atlantic Persian Heads with GB dark age bodies. They will hopefully get Sparabarra shields if I can successfully oyumaru the WA sparrabarra. 

Here are Wargames Atlantic Persians to triple as Sassanid Spear and Haradrim. 

These are old glory Poles/Lithuanians with GB Prus shields. They are nearer to 25mm than your average 28mm figure and are similar in size to the initial GB plastic Saxon and viking sets. 

More Sassanid/Achaeminid/Haradrim, this time archers. On the left you have the more tribal skythian and arab types and on the right the more Sassanid/City types. 

And finally, wargames atlantic new mid/late romans painted to double as romans and tolkien westerners. Love those plumes!
