Pict Warlords New Ride

Just finished a Gripping Beast Chariot for my Pict Warlord

I widened the chariot with plastic rod & green stuff for the detail so that the warlord would fit in.

I then drilled some holes deep enough to take magnets & glued them in so that the Warlord can be used on foot or mounted in the chariot.

Pict Close Ups

I’ve been  asked to show some close ups of some of the Picts, so I thought I would share them here too

Warlord

Boudi

Cavalry

Guides

Picts Finished

Finally got my Picts finished for the UKGM next week 😁 

The Deer in the background are the fatigue markers & the Skyclad Boudi mini is the masters of terrain marker

Pict Warband picture

Having a day off work £ the weather is nice, no hint of rain.

So I've Finally managed to get the Picts varnished with some Dulcote Mat Varnish

Now all i need to do is finish basing, fingers crossed i should get that done next week ready for the UK Grand Mellee, 

I would have liked to have had more practice with them though 😕

Pict Cavalry Finished

Managed to finish off the Pict cavalry.

 

They still need varnishing (if it ever stops raining!) then I can finish off the bases on these & the rest of the Warband ready for the Grand Melee in a few weeks.



Pict Cavalry

Ive finished painting the horses, for the Pict Cavalry from Newline Designs

Im quite pleased with how they came out, i just wish i was a bit quicker at painting. 

Ive also started on the riders & well on with the Flesh

Pict Warband

Heres a quick progress shot of the Pict/Scotti Warband up to now

The Warlord is from Bronze Age Miniatures, most of the rest of the figures are Black tree with the rest being  Curtys, Gripping beast & Footsore

Scouts Done (mostly!)

Finally got the Scouts done, barring the bases. 

I might end up adding some shield designs & maybe some clothing patterns, but for now they will do till i get a full 6 points painted.  

Newline Designs Pict Cavalry

I've been looking around for some Pict Cavalry & finally decided on the
Newline Designs Miniatures 9 pack for £15 in the sale.

There are 3 lots of 3 different designs of rider & horse in the set
(in my set I got 4 of one type, shame it was the walking horse)
 

The above picture shows the 3 riders next to figures from Curteys

(my personal favourite Pict miniatures) on the left,

 Black Tree Design & finally on the far left Gripping Beast.
 

Newline Horses with gripping beast horses, the bases are from Sally 4th
 

Size wise they fit well with the other manufacturers, the flash on the figures was minimal, on the horses there was a lot more with some casting holes under the horses belly, which was easily fixed with some green stuff. The sculpting is good, a little soft in places, better than i could ever do 😂
 

Above with a Gripping Beast & a Black Tree Figure
 

Overall I am very happy with these figures, especially for the price & would buy more figures from Newline, they should paint up well.

 I would like to have seen some more variation in the figures with a helmeted head.
 I have got some West Wind Pict Helmeted heads from Rumacara over on LAF to add to 5 of the riders. 

Scouts Update

Im still working on the scouts. All the flesh & the clothing is finished.

Ive been using the foundry paint system, with extra transitions as some of the contrasts are a bit stark to say the least. 

Ive used Moss, Rawhide, Quagmire, British Blanco & Webbing (the last two were from the now defunct WW2 range)

Some Scouts

While I've been working away, i have been making a unit of Scouts/Guides for my Pict/Scotti Saga Warband

The figures are from Black Tree Design, with cloaks & hoods made from Green-stuff.

Ive only done 7 as i already have a gripping beast figure that i will use with these.

Cheers

Picts are still on their way!

Well the Picts/Scotti are still on their way, Slowly but surely!

These lot are still works in progress as they need basing & more importantly some sort of uniform shield colouring, which I'm finding quite difficult to come up with, I found it simple with the Vikings.

New Attecotti picture

Here's a new picture of the Attecotti with some basing tufts, they still need a trim but I think I'm done with these guys now

 

Naked Picts, finished mostly, maybe?

Well I've finished the Naked Picts, mostly, just need to decide exactly what I'm dong with the bases. 

I might also put some red tattoos/War paint on them as well. I'm still undecided about this, but they will do for now anyway. 

Picts are done!

I finished off the Picts (barring completing the bases) just haven't managed to take a picture yet 😕
Hopefully will get a picture over the weekend & a picture of the start of the Warlord.

THE PICTS AREN'T AS FAST AS I THOUGHT!!!

Well didn't get as much done as I wanted to do last night, still got the tattoos to do 😕😕

Fingers crossed that will happen tonight 

THE PICTS ARE COMING!!

I'm embarking on a new army for Saga, from the new Aetius & Arthur book. 

Picts/Scotti Warband, first up are some Naked Fanatic Attecotti, from Black Tree Designs  

Here's a WIP picture, the flesh is all done using foundry flesh set, the hair is various paints mixed up

Fingers crossed I will get them finished tomorrow
