Fireforge Crossbowmen

I've been working slowly on this commission but they're getting done.  These 12 crossbowmen are the latest figures.

More Mounted Sergeants

Four more mounted sergeants armed with crossbows.  I'm really considering adding some dirt stains to the end of cloaks, for medieval soldiers they look too clean! 

These are the completed 6 figures.  I'm currently finishing the bases for them.

Foot Sergeant Update 1

These are the first 4 Fireforge Foot Sergeants I completed to test out the color scheme I had in mind for them.  I deliberately chose muted colors to really differentiate them from the brightly colored elves.  The skin color I tried is new to me and I really liked the results.  I used cork brown, washed with brown ink, when back over them with cork brown, washed with tanned flesh, and finally added more highlights of just cork brown.  I am pleased with the results.  My plan is to add Templars eventually, and they will have a variety of shield designs.

The Human Element

I just received a box Foot Sergeants from Fireforge Games in the post today.  I put together 24 of them to represent the household guard of a rich family.  They're armed with spears, swords, and crossbows.  The other half will represent a less wealthy family and will be armed with spears, axes and maces, and bows or I will use them all in zombie conversions....I haven't decided yet.  I have previously assembled a box of Fireforge Templars on foot and these Foot Sergeants are a much better kit.  The weapons are better size and the arms do not go out at crazy angles.

1/72 Tumbling Dice Late Romans

Some more Tumbling Dice Late Romans I recently finished for a commission.  I painted the tunics on the archers using Reaper Miniatures' Bone Triad paints.  I've been using these paints for the tunics for a while and I'm extremely happy with the results.

20mm Late Roman Cataphracts

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season.  My first post of the New Year is a set of 20mm Late Roman cataphracts from Tumbling Dice.  These are commission pieces and the client does his own basing and weapons.  After I complete some work on my High Elves, I will work on some Tumbling Dice infantry.

20mm Heavy Gothic Cavalry

Not happy with the picture, but I didn't inspect it before I packed the miniatures up for shipping so this will have to do!

The riders are from Newline Design as well as the unarmored horses.  All of the armored horses are thought be from Tumbling Dice.

20mm Late Roman Commission

These are 6 commission pieces I've been working on while working on my own elves.  The three on the left are from Newline Design and the three on the right (minus the middle horse) are from Tumbling Dice.  It's extremely odd that Tumbling Dice advertise these figures at 25mm (1/72) while they are actually a bit smaller than the Newline 20mm figures, while their horses are ginormous!  The Tumbling Dice figures are nice, but they definitely lack the detail of the Newline figures.

Late Roman Archers

I finished a base of skirmishing archer for my Eastern Late Roman Basic Impetus army.  The figures are Foundry.

Here are a couple of army shots.  Two bases of Legionaries, one base of Auxilia Palatina, and the skirmishing archers.

On the Dark Ages List!

Bill posted these on the Musketeer Miniatures Blog and they'll be followed by Aella and his bannerman.  I'm hoping for Arthur soon!

Wanting to trade for Late Romans, Arthurians, or Sassanid Perisans

I have some West Wind Productions Age of Arthur figures I'm looking to trade out.

I have, all still in blister packs:

1 Irish Command Pack    - 4 miniatures
3 Irish Spearmen Packs  - 12 miniatures
2 Welsh Spearman Packs - 8 miniatures


What I'm looking for:
Foundry Late Roman Archers (one pack or 8 total)
Musketeer Miniatures Unarmored Late Romans, Gothic Warriors, or Saxon Warriors
A&A Miniatures Sassanid Persian Cavalry

Musketeer Miniatures Gothic Cavalry

A base of Musketeer Miniatures Gothic cavalry for Impetus. I finished them up a while ago, but couldn't upload pictures to blogger for some reason. They are going to be part of an Early Visigoth army and represent the mounted Nobles.

Quinta Macedonica

Black Tree Design armored Late Romans. They're based for an Impetus Eastern Late Roman army. These BTD figures have been among my favorites, but the new Late Romans from Musketeer Miniatures will fill out the rest of the army. I'm also working on a Gothic Army that will be composed entirely of Musketeer Miniatures. My next purchase of historical figures will be some Gothic infantry.

Musketeer Miniatures Caliphate Infantry

These are 20 armored infantry with command from Musketeer Miniatures Armies of the Caliphates range. I must say they almost painted themselves! Fantastic miniatures and I highly recommend them. They're for commission and the customer is doing the weapons and shields with LBMS transfers.

Viking Age Saxons

These are Renegade figures that I have completed for a commission. The owner does the basing and adds spears himself. The figures are big and chunky, and would be among my favorites, except for the casting quality. It really isn't the greatest and the WWI British figures from Renegade that I am working required some major work to get to an acceptable standard.
