Fantastic work there, Bob.

That's amazing!

Did you apply decals to the shields (if so, whose and how?!?) or did you paint them (how?!?)?

Seriously, great looking army.

Nice job!

Very, very nice!

Extremely nice sir!

And left a comment as well.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. makes the effort worth while.
@Parzival and @darthfozzywig:- The intricate shield designs are indeed decals. They are by Little Big men studios and are IMO the finest decals available at the moment and the easiest to work with as they are NOT wet slide but place and stick. The figures are kallistra 10mm which are "BIG" 10mm nearer 12mm. There are unfortunately no shield designs for this scale other than late Roman for pendraken and magister militer. I sampled all the shield decals available for 15mm figs for dark age material in particular those for small 15's like essex. Eventually I found 2 or 3 sheets that by cutting the decals down a bit and/or making new card shields I could use.. Lots of work but worth the effort. More recently I have discussed the problem with Steve from LBM and found him a most helpful guy. He can, time permitting, resize some of his 28mm designs at a price of course. I already have some custom made for the Picts and irish in this scale. It does mean you have to replace all the shields but the results speak for them selves

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the effort definitely paid off. Really good work.

Very nice indeed. Time to get my Arthurian project in 15mm rebooted. Thank you for the inspiration.

Beautiful work! I envy the games you will have with them.

Very nice brush work!
