Pajama Party! (first batch of Celts)

So I'm starting on a Celt box now. Since it's the same base kit for all Warlord barbarians, I've given them an extremely contrasting paint scheme to the Germans I did earlier. No conversions except for the inclusion of a couple of old Wargames Factory heads and shields.

I can't find my tweezers, so I haven't applied the shield transfers yet, and nowhere nearby sells PVA glue, so no static grass yet either.

Last of the (first box of) Germans

A few of the wicker shields are cut-down plastic WGF Persian shields. Other than that, nothing you haven't already seen...

More Germans

A wider variety of weapons and gear here. The big fellow is Ariovistus from Warlord Games, and he needs fancier clothes (and I think his arms are supposed to be bare.)







Got 12 more Germans to paint, then either back to the 17th Century, or on to a Celt or Dacian box.

First batch of Germans

Here are some of Warlord's Ancient Germans. While I've arranged them as a regiment for some pictures, at the moment they're more likely to be used in a Mordheim-type skirmish game. That's why I did them in four sets of four gear options instead of just arming them willy-nilly. Not too many conversions this time, just a few extra bits of greenstuffed beard or fur.
