A couple of people have been kind enough to ask if I have any better pictures of the Franco Scots figures, so here is a gallery for the army.. though I have to say it is somewhat daunting to paint these guys and be pleased with the results, then see the original magnified 5 times... As always, you can click on the pictures for a bigger version.

Well, that's it, thanks for your forbearance if you have made it this far.

ReplyDeleteSome of the best painting on 15mm figures I have seen in a long time. Strangely the Scots axemen remind me of a viking figure I saw recently, but can't recall which; I'm shopping for Scandinavians.
ReplyDeleteThe Scots knights would have had wolfhounds with them ;-)
Cheers

Hi Greg, these are basically Western Isles axemen or Gall Gaedhil, which were heavily Norse influenced. Also suitable for Gallowglass in Irish armies.
DeleteVery nice collection, you should be proud. Just a shame its such a crap army to try and win games with! :-)
ReplyDeleteTwo wins, two draws and one loss at their first tournament. Sounds like a good result to me.
DeleteNice stuff mate
ReplyDeleteFab work, Doug :-)
ReplyDeleteOne of the best painted colorful looking army I've seen - love the flocking of the bases too! Gorgeous brush work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys, these were fun to do, and surprisingly easy.
ReplyDeleteSuperb painting and great work overall (although I'm not a huge fan of the basing - am I allowed to say that ;-))
ReplyDeleteHi Peter, absolutely allowed to be critical, How would you have based them differently?
