Finally could do some painting again.

(off topic) The only Pinkerton that gets my unapologetic vote is Riley Pinkerton, frontwoman of the band "Castle Rat". (/off topic)

Tried experimenting a bit with oil-washes, enamels, and dry pigments. Going for a bleak grimdark look. All this in preparation for the upcoming game "Trench Crusade", which mixes the medieval crusades, Diablo/Doom elements, World War 1, and a hefty dose of grim darkness.

Yes.

That is absolutely not true. Feudal societies were heavily shaped by laws. Even a lowly villein or cottar could seek justice at a manorial court. In fact, I would argue that "D&D fantasy" is actually not medieval at all, precisely because it does NOT have proper feudalism. But that is because...

Another paint-scheme test model. Yes it is a play on WW2 era colors. No, these are not "Space N*zis". That's why I'm trying to completely avoid red/white/black iconography. Also, I'm not playing 40k but OPR, which has significantly less edgelords.

There's one "choice" that really doesn't sit well with me: Gavin being an Englishman who, until recently, lived in Germany, all of his stuff used to be available in Europe without a problem. But then he joined with Exalted Funeral (US-based) for distribution and those guys haven't been able to...

After a certain amount of historical minis I yearned to paint some scifi/grimdark stuff. I've been meaning to make a small force of these WW1-French looking guys here but I was wondering if I could come up with a different paint scheme than just good old historical "horizon blue". I think these...

Here's a few Vendel-period Northmen (think Jutes, Geats, Angles) I've started working on. As can be seen by their armour (the fact that tbey have any!) they are high-status, so their clothing gets nice (but still historical!) colours.

Try a coat of gloss varnish before applying the decal. It will smoothen out the surface. Together with MicroSol and MicroSet that should do the trick.

The leader of my upcoming SAGA warband, Earl Deorwine, along with 3 of his loyal huscarls.

Anglo-Dane huscarls, rhe start of a SAGA warband

Last picture of my spearmen, I swear. At least this unit of armoured ones, because they're all done now. I decorated the shields a tiny bit more. Now on to either the unarmored spearmen, or the armored cavalry. Both of those need airbrush priming first, so both will probably be done in one go.

The first unit of 12 is almost complete. Almost....

Bassist T.M. Stevens died on March 10. He was 72.

One hell of a great album!

My Carolingian regiment is growing

Dipping my toes into historical skirmish gaming (Lion Rampant) This mini is a Carolingian hearthguard. The spear is actually a 1mm thick nylon bristle from a broom. That's a trick to make the mini less fragile. Oh and the print files come with an o-shaped right hand specifically for that reason.

After having bought the rulebook for "Lion Rampant", which my new gaming buddies have already played numerous times, I fancied printing a Frankish warband: unarmored spearmen, armored hearthguard infantry, mounted hearthguard. Can't wait to get these started...
