Horsa!

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Horsa!

Post by Atheling » Tue Nov 10, 2015 12:26 pm

As an aside to my Hastings and (emergency) Lion Rampant forces I've been painting the odd old Gripping Best 'Arthurian' mini to slowly build up a small force that can be used for Lion Rampant, Dux Britaniarum or Saga.

I really adore these old Patten sculpts from Gripping Beast- they have been among my favourite miniatures for years, as long as I can remember in terms of wargaming. They are very evocative of the Sub Roman period in our history and let's face it, they're about the best one can buy.

A few more pics can be seen on my Just Add Water Blog including a group shot of Hengist, Horsa and Merlin standing side by side here:

Very nicely done - I do love the Arthurian period as well!

Yeah, it's a lot of fun to play and to splash on the paint of course :)
