Incursio Barbarica 21: Barbarian Standard Bearer

Yesterday I finished my Big Man´s standard bearer. Inspired, again, by the Warlord Chronicles I sculpted a bull´s skull as a banner top. A little bit "fantasy-style", but it looks convincingly savage to me. He´s also dressed in black, Beorwald gave one of his older shirts to his loyal follower. You can see the different base sizes, 30mm to 25mm to distinguish the big men from the lesser mortals.

Incursio Barbarica 20: First Big Man

So here he is, the first Big Man for my Germans. I used the Aella miniatur from Musketeer Minis, a miniatur I fell in love with the first time I saw it (all you fellow wargamers will understand I guess). In the Warlord Chronicles Aella wears a black bear-fur-coat, and I liked the idea of a grimm and dark veteran look. So black tunic, black coat, brown hair, black shield. To add some contrast he wears golden armour, some grey streaks in his beard and fancy striped trousers.   
Because of his fur coat I name him "Beorwald the Bull" , Heathelmar´s most loyal follower.
His personal standard will follow soon...

Incursio Barbarica 19: The Champion

The first big man, from Musketeers Horsa and Hengist pack. He will act as the Champion for my Warlord Haethelmar, his most skilled fighter: Sarolf, the Armoured Wolf. I wanted him to stand out on the battlefield, so decided to mount him on a scenic base. I´m quite satisfied with the result, he really looks like a dangerous opponent, doesn´t?

Incursio Barbarica 18: More Hearthguard

Four new Hearthguards, all Musketeer Miniatures Goth´s except the one with cloak, he´s a Roman with new head. Now I´m waiting for a MM order to arrive, with a lot of Characters and the missing 4 Hearthguard!

Incursio Barbarica 17: Roman centurio and christian priest

Musketeer Miniatures once again. I had to buy some of the new Roman Cavalry from MM´s LR range, and this centurio from the command pack is my favourite, so I painted him first. The priest seems to be armed with two hand weapons - it´s more a club than a cross, isn´t it?
I want to bring my SAGA Germans on Dux Britanniarum strength, I´ve got 4 more Hearthguard almost done, after that 4 more of them, two warriors and three "Big Men" and it´s done. Then I´ll throw my Late Romans with togther with Tilman´s and Christian´s and we´ll hopefully use DB for some clash of culture at the Rhine.  

Hooked on 40mm

I like this scale now. A british Light Infantry man painted by Tilman and a Spaniard I painted last night.

More French...

...this time with a wounded Voltigeur paintde by my mate Tilman from conquering the lead mountain . He was at my place this weekend for some painting, some beer and a SAGA game. I love his style, and think it fits perfectly for this éavy Metal. He also told me some details of the uniforms and the equipment, cause I´m a bit lazy when it comes to doing research. Basing done by myself.

Finally I managed to take a good pic of my french officer..
