I've added another warband to my Celtic Army, the eighth, and this is the front two ranks of it. I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the Celt; essentially I quite like a Celt that someone else has painted for me, but loathe painting them myself.
More on t'blog, including a host of slingers: link On Sunday I'll be bringing my entire Celtic army including the wagon laager, Boudica and some Romans to the excellent Partizan show in Newark. I'll be running a game using my "To the Strongest!" rules. link If you are there, please drop by and say hello, and even play for a bit if you have time! Best, Simon |

Great work I have lots of Celts, but none quite so colourful |

I like the attached general idea. |

Those are very nice. If I never have to paint another Celt again it won't be too soon though. Why on earth can't they wear nice, neat uniforms in plain colours? |

Excellent. I have 3 warbands of 40 figures each in 15mm and agree with you. I hated painting them but they do look impressive on the table. Saying that mine are not anywhere as well painted as yours. Thanks Craig |

Simon, I have 30 warbands at 48 figures each!!! It looks like your catching up!!!!!!!! Great looking figures!!! Cheers Mike Adams |

Thanks chaps. Mike I am still 22 warbands behind you, so some way to go yet! That is an awful lot of Celts… |

Funny you should mention that Simon, I'm now on the tenth warband and yep I hate painting them so I'm shipping them in from eBay. |

Simon, but they die well!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Mike Adams |

Nice looking figs! Excellent paint jobs. If I get some Celts, will you paint them for me? Good job! |

Simon those are nicely done, the large base achieves a sense of dynamism which every warband should have. Cannot see a carynx player? Like the idea of naming your leaders. I am aiming for 4 warbands for Carthaginians and Syracusans. Have 2 already in my lead pile and looking to Victrix for the rest. Like you the thought of painting checks and stripes is holding me back! I think maybe at most 1 in 4. Garry |

Superb Celts Simon – really like the basing and casualties on these it's like a diaroma! |

Very nice!!! I have a couple of dozen Celts awaiting finishing touches, for about 8 months. Getting the base colors is one thing, checks, plaids, and shield designs are something else… |

They are really lovely looking chaps, I am envious – but they are still pilum fodder! |

I doubt anyone much enjoys painting Celts. A couple of years back I painted up about 200 or so in 28mm.
I like the end result, but it was a tedious business! |

Thanks all! Garry- yes I have run out of Carnyx players, I must buy some more. This Celtic army was started in 2003, and I add a bit every year. It's only now getting to a decent size (600 minis), but it will continue to expand as I gradually source suitable painted minis. Most of it will be at Partizan on Sunday and very likely it will become pilum fodder! Best, Simon |
