From BrendonW - Violent people through time (187 points)

Greetings. Hope your painting is going well. This weeks BrendonW instalment contains......

12 x 28mm mounted troops, 13 x 28mm Infantry (2 x hand painted shields) all plastic.


First lets begin in the Dark Ages. Various Conquest Games Plastics armed with bows ready to make the Violence especially in Englaland.



Next and still in the Dark Ages. Gripping Beast and 2 Violent Berserkers made from Warlord games Celts bodies but with Gripping Beast Heads. The archer has parts from a Conquest Games kit.



Next is Gripping Beast Arabs ready for violent acts. Really happy to have made so much progress on this force so far. Painting patterns on the horse blankets behind the saddle is great for testing creativity and patience.







Finally forward in time to some civil war violence. Perry Miniatures Light Horse.
1 Bowmen and 2 lancers. Again really happy to make such good progress on the two boxes of these I purchased. Really nice miniatures with so many options.






That's it. Photography not so good this time round. Will hopefully be better next time but you get the general impression of my work. Cheers
Brendon kicks of Antipodean Thursday with another cracking selection of historical miniatures from the Gripping Beast, Conquest, Warlord and Perry stables. I must admit when I first read the title my brain translated it to "History of Violence" and I was a bit disappointed not to see Viggo Mortensen feature somewhere!
I think your horses are getting better with every post Brendon and I especially like the dun in this batch. I think you should give a skewbald a go in your next batch to really test yourself! Another grand batch of 28s mate and well worth the 187 points including a couple for the shields.
