A new chieftain for my Vikings

Another chieftain for my Vikings. The main color tones chosen on him are red and blue.

Miniature from Gripping Beast.

Medieaval archers

Here are some newly painted Bretonnian archers. This time I mixed the formations with some lead miniatures. Its all old GW miniatures.

What army or conflict I will use them in is a later problem, I´ll just keep painting some and hope that it will solve it self later on.

Arabic kitbashing?

I had some left over bits from other projects and thought I could give this a go to maybe inspire someone to continue on this trail.

The body and heads are from Perrys plastic Ansar Mahadist, swordarm are from Perrys plastic Napoleonic Hussars and the shieldarm are from Victrix Napoleonics. The Shields are a mix of old GW shields and Piktish shield from Miniature Design Studio.

The emerging figures are a descent Medieval or Colonial era looking miniature.
Maybe they could be used for the Crusades or El Cid gaming without looking too far out of place?

 

Brettonia, medieval archers?

Sometime late spring I had an thought about doing 28mm mediaeval. And I persuaded my friend Håkan to depart from some of his older Brettonia miniatures that he didn´t use any more thinking they could be used to make up the cheap bulk force on an medieval collection.

I just gave them a quick white priming before painting and glued their foots to an plastic multibase. No paint cleaning just prime over the already existing paint. 

In medieval Im thinking brown… So I wanted lots of brown colors, and some red-brown to give the miniatures some colors.
Im really happy how they turned out with so little effort, some time a quick paintjob is all it takes.

 But 28mm medieval… Its not in my current list of projects and I went heavily with Vikings and my Tribal Africa instead of painting these since I got them. But with an small window now between I had replenished the lead(and plastic nowadays)pile I gave some of them some time. Hearing about different plastic infantry boxes from Fireforge games and the latest medieval miniatures from Crusader could help me expand this today small medieval collection.  Maybe sometime at the start of next year I will get me some new medieval miniatures. 

But the Brettonian archers, what conflicts could they be used in ?

Danes for Great Northern War

Every now and then you open your drawer/box with halfpainted miniatures, most of the time you givet hem a quick look and then close it again. But sometimes you actually finish of the last of the painting on them…

I give you Danish artillery and officers from the Great Northern War. This project have run really slow for a long time now but I could at least finish these.

The miniatures are from Black Hat miniatures.
