Here's the last of the new Warbands. As has been said, Orange is the new Black! :-)
Supposedly, the Ancients didn't recognize orange as a color; to them it was just a shade of red!
Once again these are Old Glory figures, with the hornist and leader being by Newline Designs.
Pumpkins on Parade... better be afraid!
(With apologies to Teddy Ruxpin)
This is the last of the new Sardana Warbands... almost ready for the Army Review!
I think it’s almost time for that army review…. I’ve lost count how many of these sea people you have….I constantly self argue Vikings or sea peoples who better to have? Vikings fought everyone but something about the sea peoples (mystique?) is so appealing.
ReplyDeleteIt is approaching...
DeleteI think it mostly about who they will fight and the resultant games... With the Sea peoples opposition is Egyptians, Hittities, Canaanites/Israelites, Libyans. With the Vikings it's Saxons, Normans, Rus and other Dark ages armies.
Your brush is busy and the paint flying, Peter. Looking forward to your army review.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a high productivity year so far! Army review should come by the end of this month at the latest.
DeleteFestive looking Sardana!
ReplyDeleteLike celebrating sacking your city! :-)
DeleteI don't think most people realise how dangerous pumpkins are.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's how you get to dying on the vine!
DeleteI agree with Rob Y, squash are under rated. Obviously the cattle used for the shields drank copper heavy water and ate pumpkins. Good looking unit, do hope the army review is soon.
ReplyDeleteThey squash their foes. Of course, you have some truly maniacal pumpkins in your collection now, Joe!
DeleteAnother lovely ancient unit! I like the "red" shields!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain. 95+% done with the Sea Peoples figures now.
DeleteThank you, Neil!
ReplyDeletelovely unit, your sea peoples units will perhaps? :op crush their opponent's the Egyptians, Hittites, Canaanites/Israelites and Libyans you certainly have the numbers! :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil; there are at least as many Egyptians and Hittites in the collection, Phil!
DeleteThey look very bright and cheerful Peter. Perhaps a +1 bonus on Halloween? Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a +1 to them and the black shileds on Halloween!
DeleteAre those 'vicious quaver halves' ?? :-)
ReplyDeleteYet another excellent unit of bronze weaponed chaps
Viscous even !!
DeleteThanks, Gary. I suspect this is a British thing that goes over my head...
DeleteA Blackadder Goes Forth reference, seek it out if you can well worth it a 6 part BBC comedy series set in WW1 - which is much better than that sounds :-)
DeleteI have heard good things about Blackadder, so I may well do that. Thanks, Gary!
DeleteThese don't look like the orange people who were around in my youth?!
ReplyDeleteFerocious and beautiful work on shields, armour and tunic.
A parade? Oooh goody, goody, goody!
Regards, James
The "orange people" of my youth were probably Hare Krishna..
ReplyDeleteCue the Triumphal March from "Aida" for mood music!
More fierce looking fellows! Very nice :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mark!
DeleteThese look fantastic. It's going to be one heck of a parade!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cap'n!
