More pictures and historical meanderings on my Just Add Water blog here:
justaddwater-bedford.blogspot.com/2021/07/first-goth-unit.html Finally the first unit of Goths is ready after their stint in the vanishing queue waiting and giving the glass a week to go off before matting down. It takes time but it's worth it just to know that any speckling/frosting is as minimal as possible. Unlike their Early Byzantine enemies it has taken a wee bit more time to get the unit finished due to the none uniform appearance. I really love painting up Bill's sculpts – they are a bit like Crusader miniatures in that there is plenty of surface area to play around with. The completed Back Ranks:

Very impressive unit, so much to like here. Great mix of colours and beautifully done bases to really finish off a professional paint job. Superlative work Atheling, even the banner has a real sense of movement. |

They are really nice. Impressive unit coming across the table at one. |

These are museum quality pieces. |

Shouldn't "Gothics" be dressed in all black? SWEET looking figures! |

Wow. Great work.
I like your artistic take on the 'plain' shields. |

Thanks you guys, as usual all very much appreciated :) I like your artistic take on the 'plain' shields. Funnily enough you are not the first to point that out. I *might* do the next unit freehand. It's very time dependent so we shall have to see :) |
