Fred - 2018 Painting Diary

[Techno]

I'm almost certain that that was one of the reference piccies I got sent when I made (or converted) the 'Flodden' figures that would help 'complete the range'.

Irish

Focused on half the guys I undercoated, and got a good number of colours on them today.



These guys should give me two units of Gallowglass, two of Kerns and one horse. I think I will need more Kerns...

Not sure whether to go with my normal orange/brown for the spears, or to go with a darker red/brown to give a bit of contrast against the yellow clothes.

Coming on nicely

Like where you are going, Fred - think you are capturing the look. First time I've seen the kern figures painted - nice!
A question (or two):
The third stick back in center - two axemen with axes butt on ground, which pack are they in?
Also one has hand to back of helmet - is that a modification?

Nice Forbes!

[fred.]

Thanks chaps
d_Guy - the Kerns are a mix of the Kerns and the Bonnachts packs

The two gallowglass with axes resting on the ground are Irregular which fit in well enough with the Pendraken ones, and certainly add a bit more pose variety. The one with his hand up on his head comes that way.

First two bases of Gallowglass done, and one of the  horse based up.




Although the Kerns are pretty much painted, I'm not basing them quite yet, as I have found a bunch of archers which I will add in, which will up the variety and increase the number of bases I can field!

This is why I like 10mm three units done in as many days! And it could easily have been 5 if it wasn't for adding in the archers.

Nice work chap

Thanks, Fred.
The few Irregular figures I have (ECW) are somewhat thinner and shorter than Pendraken and when I've used them (to get xtra poses) I shimmed them up on thier bases. These two seem to match better and it appears you did not need to shim?

The based figures look great, btw.

These ones while a fraction slimmer work fine with the Pendraken figures. I have some, others from irregular and they are quite a bit slighter, as is often the case different ranges vary a bit. 

[d_Guy]

Thanks, Fred.
Will look into them.

More work on the Irish troops



A big block of Gallowglasses in the centre, with Kerns, dogs and Horse around them. Just a bit more basing to do.

Nice work Forbes

[Womble67]

Very nice indeed
