These figures have been on my desk for over a year, I paint "to need" now and I have not played the Viking faction in SAGA for a while so I had no need. But of course this is why the challenge exists....to clear the lead, although in this case we should say resin.
These figures are from Brother Vinni, who really has a superb line of Dark Age figures, his Viking line is largely based on the characters from the TV show The Vikings, but that is OK as they are beautifully athromorphic casts.
I painted up a Shieldmaiden unit from a fantasy
line a couple of years ago, they were nice but these are much nicer, so
I will suppose the old figures will go on TMP (it really is not much
use for anything else).
These
were primed white and painted last week in Montreal where I only had, I
believe, 12 colours! I did touch them up a bit when I got back to the
US and where I also finished the basing. I mostly used glazes here with
minimal uses of washes to finish off the recesses. I am improving but
still a long way to go. I am pretty happy with the figures aside from
the faces which are a little weak.
lovely job on those, I am yet to paint mine, but they will join my shield wall units
