Hello, I posted a few pictures of a recently painted Norse Irish army for DBA in 15mm on my blog at
link Apologies for the picture quality, as i still have to get to grips with miniature photography (with a poor camera too). Direct links to pictures:

Looking better good, I have one suggestion, give those bad boy in chain mail a light wash of black ink. It should bring out more of the detail. |

Nice figures, although I have to say I am not always too convinced by Essex's choice of figures in their army packs. |

Thanks. I can't generalize as i haven't dealt with too many packs, but yes their choice for the bonnachts isn't very good for the book 3 list. I have a bunch of kerns with spears and shields supposed to be Ps(S) which i might end up basing as alternative Ax to better fit earlier battles. In regards to the chainmail, it doesn't show due to the camera flash but i actually used a brown wash on the mail, though it didn't darken enough the creases to my taste either. I'll give a go at inking these, but for other minis i think i'll go back to painting the mail in black and brushing the metal. |

Cafard you might not be interested but QRF have some excellent figures for bonnachts. The sizes are similar to Essex too. |

Very nice indeed, i might grab a couple of their axemen. The early command pack looks great for early invasions too. |

cafard; That will definitely work! |
