Kallistra Miniatures - 10mm Romano British Spearmen (Hallagor)

Hello all - another finished unit, this time redone from the original paintjob to make them fit better in with the rest of the army's colours. This unit is a Romano British Spearman unit from Kalistra Miniatures. These were also known as their Halligor range from their fantasy minis and it shows that these are some of their earleist minis. While big (12mm as are all Kallistra) they are clumsy and undefined especially compared to some of their later minis. That being said they do look alright on the field and are very easy to paint.

Sorry about the pictures being a bit yellowish...

Best regards,
Kasper

Kallistra - 10mm Medium Spears 100 Year War

Hello all,
another unit by Kallistra and this time one that shows just how great some of their models are. These are their spearmen from the 100 Year War and were a pleasure to paint.
And with their distinct crosses they look imposing and great on the field.
Also this is the 100th post of the blog and I wanted to show my favourite unit in that post - and that it is from the 100 Years War makes it even more appropriate :-).
Thanks to all the visitors (2000 so far, which makes me a very happy blogger) and to those few bold enough to have commented in the past :-).

Best regards,
Kasper.

Magister Militum - 10mm Sarmatian Medium Infantry

Hello all!

Yet another finished infantry unit - this time a unit of Sarmatian Medium Infantry from Magister Militum with a few more viking'ish command figures (I think - they were bought on Ebay so who knows :-)). They do give the unit a bit more of a vicious look and provided the unit with a few banners to make it look more colourful.

 Not the most interesting minis to paint but ok and I quite like how they turned out.

 

(hmm seems these pictures turned out a bit yellowish - didn't notice that until now...)

By the way - check out the size of the standard bearers nose - he probably goes by the name "Big Nose Thorulf"...

Best regards,
Kasper

Pendraken - 10mm Late Roman Unarmoured Standing Spearmen

Hello all - another unit fresh from the photo studio. This time it is an unit of Pendraken's Late Romans (bought on Ebay a while ago so there are some "foreign" models in between) propably the ARL1 Late Roman Unarmoured Standing Spearmen. 

Ok models and quite alright to paint as there are quite a few poses and the result was, I think, alright. 

These were lucky enough to get some pretty transfers from Little Big Men for their shields. I learnt a lot by trying to apply these and the next time the result will hopefully be better - I do think that these are a bit too dark on the design to be easily viewed from afar..

Anyways hoped you enjoyed them,
Kasper

14/15th Century Crossbowmen with Pavisse - 10mm Magister Militum

Hello all!
This is the brother unit of the previously shown one. As such they are Crossbowmen hiding behind their huge pavisses, made by Magister Militum.

This time painted in a more Teutonic paint scheme and they do look imposing on the field (until some cavalry unit mows them into the ground...).
There is another unit on the way, painted in the same scheme but with red shields with white crosses - should look fine together on the field. Maybe I should get one more unit so that they could form a brigade...


Best regards,
Kasper

14/15th Century Crossbowmen with Pavisse - 10mm Magister Militum

Hello all,
These crossbowmen by Magister Militum were a true pleasure to paint - quick and easy yet very imposing on the battle field. They are not very detailed and there is only one pose but as they are hidden behind their pavisses that does not really matter.
The crosses on the shield were hand painted and took for ever - I wish the crosses were more identical but alas.

These were actually painted in the dark evenings when I was stationed in Greenland - a great place for painting miniatures :-).

Best regards,
Kasper

New Mountain - 6mm / 10mm terrain

Hello all!
Recently I found an interesting piece of wood in the nearby park and was struck by quite a few ideas as to how its interesting shape could be used.

The result is this mountain:

All things considered (especially the cost (free) and the time used (1 hour tops) I think it turned out alright. While a bit small it does seem alright (I'll call it false perspective .-)) and with the water fall it provides a nice place for a river to begin while providing the battle field with a bit of very difficult terrain.
It looks a bit bare at the moment as all the trees and bush material I have are way out of proportion - I guess I will return to it sometime in the future to give it a bit more detail.

Hope you like it :-).

Best regards,
Kasper
