Finishing up some project

This was the week that I've finished up quite a few bits and pieces.
For one, my 28mm British and German troops are now finished: I've added a Pak40 to the Germans, and to balance the German Hetzer and SdKfz 251, the British now have access to a Cromwell and 2 Universal Carriers.
Adam's Jordanian Infantry + APC's, SP AA and objectives are finished, as well a a few 54mm Vikings (and one Norman) that I've painted for myself. Next in line are a few Christmas presents.

A few crew added to his jeep as well.

My own objectives, for my list for the upcoming Flames of War EW tournament 
 And De Gaulle, of course...

54 and 70mm Historical figures

Roger Scott was kind enough to loan me his professional lighting material to try and see if I could increase the quality of the pictures.
I'm pretty happy with it, and will look into getting similar lights to photograph whatever I paint in the future.

Norman (54mm)




Teutonic Knight (54mm)


 War of the Roses (54mm)


 Knight Templar (54mm)

Images of previously painted Saga units


These miniatures were painted for the Saga ruleset.
All of my own models were purchased from War and Peace games, who stock a lot of 28mm historical figs, and Ian's a pleasure to deal with. Good prices and very fast delivery!
(All of the banner and shield decals are done by Littlebigmenstudios. Expensive? Perhaps, but they DO finish off your models to a very high standard!)

 Second model from the left is the guy who sold me on this army... Clearly the fact that you don't have any decent armour, shields or weapons doesn't mean you can't have attitude!

My own Vikings

I waited to post the images of these Vikings until I was fully finished with the whole army. I am pretty sure I will not need to add any more models to this bunch for Saga, unless the upcoming Jomsviking list has any surprises... I have 3 different warlords, including a few personalities, 4 sets of 4 Hearthguard (allowing to be used as standard Hearthguard, Berserkers and Varangian Guard), Jomsviking mercenaries, 4 sets of 8 Warriors and a single bunch of 12 Levies (I don't expect to take more than a single point of slaves in a list, lest they take away the glory kills of my Free men!)

Fatigue Tokens
Although Saga comes with a sheet of Fatigue tokens that you can print up, i prefer 'proper' counters. I had two sets of Armypainter Bodyparts sitting in a box for over six months now, and now I finally found a use for them!
Save us, oh Lord, from the fury of the Northmen!
