I finally finished the last eight speed painted Late Roman Archers to go with the first Legionary unit of my LR army! I say finally as they really do seem to have taken forever due to varnishing issues and the weather (I do a Humbrol Enamel Gloss coat before matting down so it can take time which is weather and humidity dependent).
These eight fellows were originally going to be painted a few years ago, prior to the Vanishing Disaster Incident, which put me off painting the army completely. That is, until this year and the beginning of Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge.
As the Archers are integral to the whole unit of Legionaries I've included a piccie or two of the lot to give you guys and gals an idea of how the miniatures work together.
They look really lovely and would work well for the new Pillage supplement by Victrix.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they would. I've got the download and will give it then once over ASAP.
DeleteI do like the combination of spear and bow. These are a nice addition.

Many thanks Duke :)
DeleteVery nicely done 👍🏻
ReplyDeleteCheers Jim
DeleteThat's a great looking unit - a whole table full of them would be very impressive!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. The plan is that there will be a whole table of them; ergo the speed painting of the army! The idea is to paint one top quality army (like my early Byzantines) for every two speed painted army. NB. Speed painted does not imply the type of paint- just the sloppiness lol :)
DeleteExcellent paintjob !!!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Nikko- appreciated as always :)
DeleteGreat work on the whole unit. For 'speedpainting' they are amazing.
ReplyDeletePS: you have the link to my blog incorrect, it is the WARCROW not Warclow.
Thank you and apologies- I'll amend the name now.
DeleteIs it right to get jealous when you call this speed painting and it's so much better than I can do? I do like looking at them though, so please keep posting.
ReplyDeleteIt's honestly just practice mate. It really is. I'm no Caravaggio lol
