Matt's projects #1 - Hastings

[fred.]

Excellent work Matt.

I really like the shields, hand painted I assume? and the whole force looks coherent, without being uniform.

Very nice indeed

Take care

Those are stunning!!! Great attention to detail across all the minis. You should be proud of yourself.

Thanks for the comments guys.
Unfortunately photos aren't the best as my son totalled one of my lamps as I was setting up so there is a bit too much flash glare.

I've been dodging around this lot for a while so it was nice to get them finished. Might be another 12 months or so until I revisit the dark ages and really crack on with the Anglo saxons, currently engrossed in the SYW (pics of those soon).

Yes Fred all shields and banners hand painted. It was a tricky one with the colours to try and get a coherent feel and still look a bit individual so I chose a limited palette of greys, blue grey and browns with a splash of red (Frankish palette in my head) and then whatever I fancied on the shields. The Anglo Saxons will be more earthier- greens, browns, orangey browns etc.

Brilliant, Matt. Such a tragedy that they won't see action.

You never know one day they might, but for now they are packed away in the box.

They are *superb*

Somehow I have managed to miss this thread. Those are really great looking figures and bases. The shield and banner designs and colours break up the monotony of the armour and make for a riot of colour that is particularly eye catching.

Excellent stuff, but I can empathise with the fascination for the SYW.

[YORSTONS]

Stunning.

[Bodvoc]

Wonderful figures, makes me want to stop painting Romans and start painting Normans!

[nikharwood]

Beautifully done
