Taking a break from the small stuff and trying to reduce some older purchases from the pile of shame




Unfortunately I added to this pile of shame last week with the Carthaginians

Very nice stuff

Look great

Very nice.

Thee is no shame in your painting pile.

Its a well known fact that a wargamer to own his own weight in unpainted lead/metal /resin, to ensure well being and peace of mind.

Very good!

Hmm I've got to either lose some weight or buy some more then 

Lovely stuff! Not remotely "boaring"

It was also entirely sensible to buy everything you think you might need in your lifetime as soon as funds permit to avoid future price rises and convert paper money into valuable metal.      Should you make a mistake (e.g. being unable to complete an army due to a manufacturer ceasing business) you can always slap the surplus on ebay as Out of Production vintage.  The rise and rise of commercial skirmish games and plastics must surely be due to the yoof of today  (and some us not so yoof)  not being able to afford big metal armies in the larger scales

Those look cracking ! 

Cheers - Phil.

Very nice indeed.

Redstef, those are magnificent. I love the attention to detail, the wear/dirt on the shields, the shading/highlighting on the bronze armour. Beautiful!   

Great stuff Redstef, you should be well pleased with how those have come out 

Very nicely done.

 

I'm afraid I can't take much credit for the wear on the shields. Apart from a localised wash and a few strokes from the paint brush to tie it together, most of the weathering is on the LBM shield transfer

You could take much more of the credit, if you were less open about were it actually belonged
