The second of the unit bases of newly painted figures for the Saxon elements of my '1066 & All That' collection is completed. These are 'Thegns' from Matt's Saxons which he sculpted for Wargames Foundry getting on for 20 years ago. They have stood the test if time, as good sculpts always do I've found ~
While I was working on the base work of the Thegns I also managed to process three other bases of non playing figures, a Norman Bishop and Deacon, a Saxon priest, and a high status Saxon lady ~
With these completed I need to set about texturing the remaining bases of the Saxon force now they have all been fixed to the new 120 X 60mm bases I settled on for this project. {The skirmishers must await delivery of their 50 x 60mm bases from Warbases via Phil.} Once the Saxon unit bases are completed I can turn my attention to the Norman side of the rebasing project, though I have already seen that more figures will be needed and have ordered them. Yesterday I opened negotiations with Phil over painting them to match the existing figures!
I like the Lady.

ReplyDeleteThank you Matt. Yes, they are more interesting than the standard wargames unit I find.
DeleteSome very nice work there Dave...there looks to be no doubt at all that your painting skills are continualy getting better and better, dispite the obvious challenges that getting older presents to us all! Well done sir! Great inspiration 👍
