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

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.
