Showcase: Saga Rus Princes City Militia

Got another batch done, and today I am working on the last of my Cavalry for the convention that is now less then 4 days before I have to travel. I think I am going to make it, whew. Though right now I could care less if I see another Dark Age figure for a few months!

These boys where supposed to be a mixed up bunch with assorted shields and painting. Because I screwed up ordering the wrong shield transfers I had to do a little creative selecting from Dark Age sheets and even a few from Romano Brit sheet. Also I couldn't take my usual slow sloth self time and had to cut some corners by painting the two units in a uniform manner. My way of explaining the kind of uniform appearance is that they're from a richer city that can afford to equip them well etc. Because I couldn't mix up the shields the way I wanted I decided to make them all one type for each unit. I'm stuck running them in 8 man units, but in the future I'll paint some more to match... yeah right.

Well here they are, quickly done, but I think they'll make a nice addition to the army.

 

 

....and the second group.

 

Thanks for looking.

Cheers
