Caesarian casualties

 Caesarian casualties terrain

Another paint job last week for the analogue painting challenge, the final casualty markers for my Caesarian army. I plan to use these for both legions that I am building and may add shields to the standing chaps. The miniatures are from the Warlord Miniatures range.

Germanic tribesmen harii

 Germanic Harii Tribesmen

off the table last week was another unit of Germanic tribesmen, I wanted to depict the Harii tribesmen who according to Tacitus were painted in black with black shields, I painted the miniatures as normal then inked the miniatures which did not achieve the look that I was after so out come the German black grey and I approached them more look Indian warpaint on the naked miniatures.  Another entry for the analogue painting challenge.

The miniatures are from the Warlord Miniatures range, and are listed as the Germanic fanatics.

Germanic Tribesmen Marcommanni

Germanic Tribesmen

Off the table are some Germanic tribesmen units, a mix of Foundry, Warlord and some Victrix bits. A lot of work to get them to fit properly on the 60 x 60 bases as anybody who has warlord miniatures will find they are difficult to fit on bases to get them tightly fitted particularly.  The first unit references the temple worship with a wooden Woden as the standard, which is a foundry miniature that inspired the totem I scratch built. 

The second unit has a Hare standard which is a decal, again a mix of miniatures, decals are from LBM and Warlord. The wicker shields are hand painted runes. I have around 100 more of these to complete. I have based some individual miniatures for skirmish miniatures.

Roman Caesarian seige engine

 Caesarian Heavy Siege Machines

The beginnings of my late Republican /Caesarian Roman’s for the conquest of Gaul. I have already started a few pieces but the main effort has commenced with my artillery and soon some command then the infantry in suspect in March as I need to complete a few foreign orders ….

The miniatures are from Warlord Games, I have one more onager to complete which is getting a small conversion and some crew variance

Indians lots of ‘em

 Indians

Ok not lots of them, but a few additions to my FIW collection. Again from the old conquest range now owned by Warlord Games. I am sort of happy the the flesh colour. I am sure they are from different tribes as the head roachs are very different and if I remember correctly conquest had a whole series of articles on his blog about the differences. 

Cheers

Magua why do you hate the grey hair

 Mauga a leader of his people

Next if the painting desk is the old conquest (now Warlord) Magua miniature. I really like the miniature and have tried to copy the paint scheme later in the movie. I really love the character in the book and Wes Studi done a fine job in the movie.
