Rank & File month #1
Hello everyone,
once again we gathered to honour the challenge of the year!
As I said in my intro post, this year i was really willing to create something unique and the Albion army got created.
I hope you will appreciate the creativity behind the project: choices of miniatures, colours and more ...
I was willing to start with the skirmishers who represent 60 points:
10 fighters unorganized but ready to fight!
Lots of Albion Clan include various kind of warriors, the Albion men are not known to work as regiments most of the time.
Patrolling through the moors, marshes and other dangerous land ask for light equipements. It is known that Albion's Kings and Lords ask to groups of men from small villages to act as skirmishers, scouts or spies.
A little close-up on the tartans.
Then as the month of January is always the one where i put lots of efforts in order to make a big step in my project, I also painted my heroes!
Druid lvl 1/ Druid lvl2/ Oracle
I really like these guys, they really represent what i had in mind when creating the army. The Oracle is a priestess of The Mother Godess, she's a direct Daughter of the Island and as such inspire the members of the army. She naturally acts as a great banner.
And finally, as I was in a roll, here are my little giants:
Some small giants
Wandering through the moors, these guys are some of the oldest inhabitants of the island. Several years of consanguinity reduced their size. But these creatures are still really dangerous and their stupidity can't make them even more dangerous.
Year after year, it is said that the druids have more difficulties to get them under control.
That's it for January, for next month I'm going to start my clansmen regiment, I might add a couple of bonus if the painting is going well.
Thank you for waching and reading.
Take care everyone.

They're really great Sylvain, real variety of models on the table. I'm going back to read your intro post now to see where they're all from as I only recognise Hengus the Druid and the Grenadier Wood Elf shaman.
ReplyDeleteMore patience than I for doing tartan (the reaon my Victrix Fightin' Fourty'twa are still in their box!) so extra points for that.
Thank you Paul, I'm getting used now to do the tartan. The clansmen allowed me more practices :)
DeleteNicely done, a few of these have recently come into my possession, might take your efforts for my own barbarian horde.
ReplyDeleteDon't hesitate to try your skills on these guys, they worth it.
DeleteLovely post. Really like them
ReplyDeleteThank you Mariano. I just saw your work on your elves, I was astonished.

DeleteSuperb work - I especially like how the heroes turned out! The tartan and woad look the part and the Giants are a suitably gruesome bunch - well done!
