Vikings

Just some plain Gripping Beast plastic vikings here. Painted years ago, with basing, shields and some washes added this past week. Shields probably need another pass...

more Early Slav javelins

Again, mostly GB's generic dark age infantry, with a smattering of metal pieces, and one OoP Wargames Factory Celt as a token beefcake.

Early Slavs

As promised, some foes for the Vikings. These javelin-wielding infantry, the first of at least four such units, will comprise the bulk of my Slavic army. They are mostly built from Gripping Beast generic Dark Age Infantry, with some GB metals: Rus shields, a few Falklands war heads with the wool hats altered to be fur, and a full metal mini. Oh, and also a Perry Mahdist with a Perry Zouave head.

Berserkers!

Years ago, I bought a bunch of Gripping Beast Viking plastics and Warlord Celt plastics for a project that never really came together. I've been revisiting my vikings, so as I touch them up and redo bases as needed, I'll post some here, along with the enemy armies I'm making in parallel.

So here are some berserks, Celt bodies with some Viking bits and heads.

Trukks and Terrain

In addition to painting the trukks, I've also started to refocus on terrain. I got a foam cutter for Christmas, and since then I've bought a variety of supplies including a grass mat, a sky posterboard, and some trees.



I've also made some walls out of coffee stirrers, small bits of cut foam, and misc. bits. I'm trying to roughly match them to the GW plastic walls I got a while back, and while it's not to hard to see which is which, I'm pleased enough with the overall effect.

WiP ork trukks

Happy New Year!

Switching gears back to Space Orks, here are a couple old trukk sculpts that needed extension so they wouldn't look *completely* ridiculous. Waaagh!!!
