To be fair even though I'm no longer working I've had less painting time than when I do work as I'm seemingly repainting lots of the house before digging for victory in the garden!
There will be some more for this project to add to the ones done in the challenge.
So not Romans but maybe soon after various other bits and bobs.The flag carrier is waiting for all this quarantine stuff to blow over and then I will resize and print a flag from Ray's extensive Flodden flag collection over on his excellent Don't throw a 1 ! Blog.
I'm currently working on converting plastic Ansars to kerns and plastic gripping beast plastic Vikings and Perry medieval French infantry to gallowglass, bashed together you get a nice axe, chainmail/padded look with the right helmet.
Until then probably more Picts!
All the best

Another very useful looking group of 'peasant' types and even with the few equipped with helmets, they should be very versatile.
ReplyDeleteI do like the scruffy look you managed , without detracting from the fiugre or losing their detail. Swopped heads are a good idea too and I can't spot them !
Thanks Joe! Yes they can cover a nice range of periods!
DeleteBest Iain
Another bunch which are also very characterful. The ‘useful’ tub of spare perry / warlord heads / weapons are a rich source of easy conversion.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm! Yes all those plastic spares come in useful!

A great mix of figures Iain and I like the fact you have stuck to saffron for the léine, these look excellent!
ReplyDeleteThanks Oli! The saffron seems to work pretty well!
DeleteBest Iain
A scruffy lot enhanced by a mix of manufacturers. Good to see you remain well getting in some full scale house painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan! The mix of manufactures does seem to work and I've certainly kept busy around the house!

Cracking job Iain, although I am sorry to hear that progress has been slow on the hobby front. I know what you mean about there being an endless stream of jobs to get done before painting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael! Yes the days seem full!
DeleteBest Iain
Wonderful collection of figures Iain and a great idea with the Ansars for conversion work.
ReplyDeleteWatch your back with all that digging.
Pat.
Thanks Pat! Your not wrong I've been off the tools for some years now, I dug three holes and had to have a day to recover!
DeleteBest Iain
Excellent additions Iain, sorry to hear about the lack of hobby time, hopefully this will increase for you
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave! It's not so bad,it's just it seems everyone else has more time!
DeleteBest Iain
Great looking warriors, Iain. I do like Gallowglass guys.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean! Very characterful aren't they?
DeleteBest Iain
Nice hairy bunch of hooligans. The Sassenachs should see them off though.
ReplyDeleteGood to know you’re putting patriotic duty first Iain and growing your own. I’m doing my bit my encouraging the live in gardener to plant more salad.
Thanks a lot! Well done you, I hope she's listening?
DeleteBest Iain
Excellent troops they look suitably wild and hairy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cyrus! They are that!
DeleteBest Iain
Lovely work Iain. You definitely are on a wild and woolly theme. I know what you mean about less time for painting, as I got far more done when everyone else was occupied with work and weekend pursuits.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence! It's the promise of more time that doesn't materialise that gets you!
DeleteBest Iain
Nice work Iain
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Paul!

Great bunch of Highlanders! I always think they're good to have in one's forces whenever possible, and the bagpiper is a must! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fitz! Always good to have a piper!
DeleteBest Iain
It’s crazy how house projects seem to spring up suddenly when supposedly you have more free time...
ReplyDeleteStill, 21 well painted miniatures is a great haul. Nice job! 😀
Hard to believe you just had a bunch of spare heads just lying around....
Thanks Stew! All those plastic sets tend to have spare heads and arms, always good to have a bits box!
DeleteBest Iain
beautiful figures. I also took them from the Perry range. I can't wait to paint them
ReplyDeleteThanks Ronin! I look forward to seeing them!
DeleteBest Iain
Very nice reinforcement Iain!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Dmitry!
DeleteBest Iain
Nice variety of figures, none of which I'd want to meet in a dark alley!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter! You and me both!
DeleteBest Iain
They are nice, you are making some noticeable progress on this kind of units, I love how they look.
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber! Celtic psychopaths a speciality!
DeleteBest Iain
A great bunch full of character and variety Iain.
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith! Lovely sculpts!
DeleteBest Iain
Thanks Michal!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Loads of cool detail and character in these! 21 is an impressive tally too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai! Yes a decent number!
