Im thinking how these Picts would make a great Warbands Viking/Norse-type army using the Barbarian list.

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.

Excellent, just saw them. New plans for Dux Bellorum. They are awesome. Really great.

Nice figures and good to see them released
Which one is Nobby?

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.

And I thought he was into fantasy.

Where's Sturgeon ?

In the Black Sea?

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 ?

Now that IS a metaphor for the Scottish state if I ever heard one!

Thank you, that was exactly what I intended.

It's like one of those obscure Washington Post political cartoons!

I just got some of these Picts and they are amazing sculpts and very well cast.  Very impressive.

Nice wild men of Dunlendings.

Apparently great minds think alike!
