The Shields v2.0

As I said earlier I tried to cut some time and get the SAGA Project  done, but the amount of complaints I got from my fellow gamers was a bit to much so I did a recap with the shields. For the initiated, I tried to pull a Ogge but I failed, I'm relay sorry, it will not happen again, its only Ogge that can get a way with it.

Gripping Beast delivered  the "missing" spears and bases, also got a crossbow to replace the one with the missing bow. They also gave sent an extra Crossbow, much appreciated. Once again fast and good service thanks.

So here we go, enjoy:

One of the minies is missing in the picture will come later when all the bases is fixed and the Project is finalized.

Some progress in the SAGA projekt.

Been taking some beating over my poorly painted shields, they are now repainted. Pictures will come later this weekend, working the night shift this weekend.

Today I spent nearly one and a half hour just to get the minies of from the sticks they where mounted on for painting, and there where only 18 minies. New glue and it was a bit to effective so that will not be used again, not for this any how.

SAGA, Spearmen from Gripping Beast

Some more minies for my SAGA project  so enjoy.

8 spears missing only basing, I have also completed all the horses, all 17 of them, pic of them when I have completed the riders as well, but I'm missing some spears for this.

SAGA Bowmen WIP

First WIP pics of the SAGA project.
Some highlighting is missing mostly flesh but some robes. But I think that I have managed to make them dark and musky as I planed, just to get that dark and medieval feeling I like.

So far the minies is a blast to paint, but I'm not looking forward to horses 17 of them.
The minies are from Gripping Beast from their Norman range packed for SAGA,

Gripping Beast Normans, short review

Got some minies yesterday from Gripping Beast, e bunch of Normand for my SAGA projekt.

Norman starter Army 4 pts
Norman Spearmen 1 pts (Spears Not included)
Norman Heartguard 1 or 2 pts depending on how your field the unit (Spears Not included)

A short review of the minies.

Good casting, no excessive casting flesh and good details for TT minies.
The packs contained NO miss casts and all the minies where there. A good mix of poses of minies. Fast delivery and well packed. A bit short of spears and swords but I have sent them an email,  we will wait and see how they respond and how fast they fix it.
Got a respond within the hour, and apparently the spears are not included in the extra packs I ordered. But the guys a Gripping Beast will send me some spears and bases anyhow. NOW that's Service. But I think that they need to be a bit more cleare about the fakt that the packs do not contain spears and swords.

6 different poses of 8 models 

3 different poses 4 models

7 poses of 12 models

And now for some scraping, sanding, washing and the primer. Ill be using the Army Painter Leather Brown primer for this project, and then work with INKS and washes to get a dark earty and Medieval look and feel of the minies. The shields will be the one thing with bright colors to make the minies POP on the table.

New hobbies!!!
