Oh no, more shekels disappearing from the old bank account!   :'(

But they do look rather good.   :)

Perhaps I might also base some up for Warband as well.   :-\

Very nice - tempting me to replace my 15mm Picts. Could do with some spearmen with shields and some noble cavalry with chain shirts and iron helmets too though

The swordsman does, Ian....I managed to find a pic of the 'green'.
Can't remember what the other chap carries.
I think Will's got a set...he'll know.

These could be used for all manner of things, especially fantasy.

These will go on the "want" list but, at the mo, I have WAY to much to paint.

Lovely minis!
Title: Re: New Picts released!
Post by: Techno on 08 April 2015, 05:10:08 PM
They are 'the historical size', Gareth.....So are a tad smaller than the fantasy range figures.

Who cares?

I've mixed allsorts and the only glaring difference is Kallistra's 12mm's.  I'm in the process of getting rid but they were a nice transition from 28mm to 10mm.

Thanks for the heads up though Phil; I'm sure my wife will appreciate you trying to save me adding to my lead pile. :D

These look lovely - I must Restst, I must Resist.

But they would be easy to paint , could use them against Early Imperial Roman.

B*gg*r, must stop looking at the Forum

Now I wonder if the wife will swallow that when she sees I ordered the Army Pack?     :)

Hmmm, might be worth a try.    :D

Just received a lovely box of goodness, Pendraken goodness that is!   :D 

Obviously Techno has mastered the technique of remotely controlling us all.   :(

And what is more Techo hasn't injured himself lately!  I think Welsh Druids have been at work here.

I resisted looking at the Forum for a whole hour.  Contrary to rumour  it had nothing to do with me going for a walk at lunchtime where I have no access to a computer

No, unfortunately no Picts at the moment, hopefully they will arrive in the next box.  This box obviously contained just what Techno had mesmerised me to get from the Warband range, next box will be historic ranges, to be based up for both historic and Warband but of course!   ;)

Lovely figures! I have been waiting for these and need to order ASAP! Just for clarification, are all the sculpt poses shown in the photos? I'm specifically curious about the "PIC2" Spearmen and PIC4 Skirmishers, are there two poses in the pack? Also, could one use Gallic figures to mix in or are those shields not accurate?

Two poses per pack (my funding ran out before I could ask Phil to do more)
Command has three poses.

Im thinking how these Picts would make a great Warbands Viking/Norse-type army using the Barbarian list.
Title: Re: New Picts released!
Post by: mollinary on 11 April 2015, 04:15:23 PM
Those are really beautiful sculpts.  I assume they have been given a thin black wash to make the detail pop like that?  Whatever it is, it is very effective for showing off the figures.

Yep, it's the Vallejo Black Shade Wash from the Game Color range, and it works a treat.

Sorry, Steve.....Didn't notice that earlier.

Will rejected the one that looked like Ricky Tomlinson's stunt double.
He said having a Pict sitting in front of a television, drinking from a can, wasn't really historically accurate enough.
Frankly..... I thought that was being a trifle picky. ;)

Ho Ho, you may jest but I want a Sturgeon figure, a little bare breasted, gap toothed ratlike Pict in a jimmy wig, surrounded by four 'disabled' warriors (one drunk wielding a bottle of Buckfast, one druggy brandishing a hypodermic, one morbidly obese just looking for someone to fall on and one toting a canister of oxygen due to a lifetime of heavy smoking) with one shoulder aggressively pushed forward and one foot on an empty amphora (it used to be filled with valuable oil .... but alas).
So ... where is she ?
