Now they are superb, could even tempt me into buying a few more gauls. I've got 30 warbands so a few more wouldn't hurt.

Take care

Ancients ain't an era I normally delve into but glad I 'stumbled' across this. Great work, Matt and Phil!  =D>
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Well...
Firstly......having told a number of you that you COULD paint figures, as well as Matt, if you REALLY, REALLY, REALLY took time.....(You simply wouldn't be able to do them to that standard, anything like as quickly as Matt.)

Secondly.....If I took a lot of time, I could 'forge you a Matt'...(Only as a single figure, I hasten to add.)
I've now changed my mind completely......I couldn't get CLOSE to most of the detail on those figures.
I'm in complete awe.....and I hate him.  ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Cheers - Mr Put-In-His-Place.

So true Phil, but I do really take my time over anything that will go on the website. Its spend double the time for that extra 10% in finish.
At the end of the day it's painting by numbers, you just need the plan (in this case sculpt) to be good. Phil's done all the hard work you just need to colour it in*  :)
