(a) 5th century Germanic; I have an example at top right, and seven more stands. Need 11 in total including a recognizable general - a number of armies around II/70 - II/73 use up to 11 4Wb stands.
(b) 5th century sub-roman brits, II/81b, and patrician roman II/82a. While only 3 or 4 stands are required, they need to be subtly recognizable when opposing Huns or Germanic armies.
The shields and 8 red-brown unpainted minis are from Strelets 003 Anglo-Saxons, these are noteworthy in being clad in slightly uparmored Roman pattern gear. They will fit right in with the existing eight MiniArt Germanic stands. The shields are a little large, designed for the shield wall age. I do have in reserve Auxiliary style oval shields and were it not for needing up to 11 stands, those would be better.
The minis below the Strelets 003 are the ghastly Strelets 016 Anglo-Saxons plus one Emhar mini. Those to right are destined to be two Hd stands. Mostly Emhar and a few Strelets 016.
You are making regular, steady progress and the painted figures look great!
ReplyDeleteWhile the stance/representation of some of the figures is 'interesting', I like the individuality of the early Strelets sets with each pose being unique (having some for other periods). They look good once painted (when hidden details and character come out) and blend in well with their later figures/figures of other manufacturers, (as you have said).
