Airbrushed with dark aluminium then a black wash applied. Now to lightly dry brush them with a silver.
P.S. Anyone else originally taught to spell medieval medaeval?

72 off Victrix 28mm Saxons now primed black as is proper. They will not be based individually. They will be based on large bases for Midgard and To the Strongest rules. @yarkshiregamer.bsky.social

Byrhtnoths Saga or Byrhtnoths Choice, or, damned if you do, damned if you don’t and the battle of Maldon CE 991. A thread 🧵.

Byrhtnoth was Ealdorman of Essex (East Saxons). Born 931 CE and died at the battle in 991 CE at 60 years of age.

My recommendation for gluing 28mm hard plastic figures together is: Tamiya Liquid Cement. Do not use the extra thin/quick setting extra thin stuff. This is what you want:

Now recessing Victrix 28mm Viking arms. Gonna assemble and paint a load of Vikings now. Then assemble and paint the rest of the Saxons and use the left over axes on the Viking sprues for some of the Saxons.
