I have just added another warband to the Dacian collection which is now the centre of attention following the completion of some smaller projects in recent months.
If you would like to know more about this unit and the plans going forward then just follow the link to JJ's link Jonathan (JJ) |

WOW! Great job! Taking a break from Napoleonics I see. |

Agreed – from brushwork to basing, a unit I would love to have! |

Wow! Nice, no, amazing, brush work. I'd be afraid to play with them, myself, for fear of damaging the paint… The bases are superb, as well. You could most definitely get work from museums -- their displays got nothing on your work, from what I've seen thus far. Too bad for them! Cheers! |

Beautiful paintwork Jonathan. But I always think models of warriors swinging double-handed weapons like a falx should be further apart. Lopping off the limbs of someone on your own side seems rather rude. |

Excellent work! Beautiful coloring on the flesh tones!
What paints/colors did you use? |
| Bandolier | 22 Mar 2018 9:09 p.m. PST |
You've done a great job. Well done! |

Thanks chaps for you comments, very much appreciated. Paul B: Yes I know what you mean about falxes and spacing. I think basing in general is a bit of a compromise between artistic licence and an element of ground scale and that huge subjective element of what looks OK to you. wrgmr1: If you go back to the blog post and follow the link to my post on the EIR Legionaries you will find a video clip where I talk about the flesh tones I use. Most of the colours are from Vallejo. Cheers

Great work. These guys don't look too friendly. Fierce warriors captured well with basing |

You did a great job with them. But why does every barbarian miniature have a physique that would do a steroid-jacked muscle head proud? |
