The figures are once again from the superb early Saxon Musketeer range and paint up very nicely.
The shields are a mix of re-painted Foundry transfers and some LBM transfers with some Mig pigments for dirt effect.
I've based them on 25mm metal washers that I then set into a 9 slot 2p movement tray from Warbases with magnets placed in the slots to help hold the figures. I choose 2p as this is slightly larger then 25mm and so allows for easy placement and removal without damaging the basing. I don't really care for the skirmish movement tray and prefer a standard one. The reason for a 9 slot movement tray is during the course of campaign a unit can be upgraded by two men and the last slot is if I wish to set a character, casualty or something else in the tray. When no figures are occupying a slot I then insert a blank terrain textured 2p piece in to keep the look of a fully textured base.
Oh, I had another fantastic game vs Nick's Romano British yesterday and I'll post some pictures of it as soon as I can as I have a backlog.
Thanks for viewing!:-)

Excellent painting and lovely basing as usual! These will be very good inspiration for when I paint up my Musketeer Saxons later this year.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonas and I'm very curious to see your interpretation of the early Saxons.

Excellent brush work on the minis as always, but the movement tray is really impressive - a work of art. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Dean! I'm happy folks like what I'm doing with the bases.:-)
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Thank you!

Having already fought against them I can state that they performed realy well on the tabletop. And definitely a good looking unit they are.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Nick! It was a darn fun game! Dux B moves from strength to strength.
DeleteChristopher
Those are excellent! And your basing is superb, it really sets those figures well above par. WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Anne!

Stunning work and the idea for the terrain-only tray fillers is genius!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!

Absolutely stunning, Christopher. Wonderful painting and, as always, the basing is just as good. There's a real "dark ages" look and feel to this unit. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes

Thanks Giles that's really very kind of you to say!
DeleteChristopher
They look magnificent! Absolutely first class.....a masterclass, in fact, on figures and basing. Really very good, Christopher!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Sidney! Your part of the reason I tried out Dux B and I thank you for it and I liked your Hexagon bases for leaders and so stole....errr I mean borrowed the idea.:-)
DeleteChristopher
Beautiful work, great paintjob and very nice basing too!

Thank you Phil!

Excellent work Christopher and a great idea on the bases
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Scotty.

Absolutely gorgeous work, Christopher. I've always liked how you've muddied up your sheilds (something that I've shamelessly stolen). I also like the 'terrain plugs' for the movement tray - it keeps everything looking neat and tidy.
ReplyDeleteThank you very kindly Curt! I suppose Dark Ages and dirty shields go hand in hand.:-)
