More Hirdmen

Two more viking badarse hairy buggers done over the Holiday weekend. Like these sculpts very much, shame my eye painting was a little rubbish.

Bloke on the left had a bit of a cartoony eye affliction as a child. The chap on the right.... bit cross-eyed, hence how he didn't see the flowers before he trod upon the blooms.

Tried to paint a simple wolf-pelt and think the colourings are convincing enough. 

Also worked on more of my ACW Confederate cavalry, but had to take a break from the crappy sculpts and got some paint onto a Heroclix lizardman that my son begged me to paint up. It originally had a pathetic looking bendy glaive that I cut out and replaced with a cut down 1980's GW skeleton cavalry lance. Still lots to do, but I do know he'll end up as a Troglodyte gladiatorial adversary in my upcoming rpg.

Whilst overall this is a pretty shoddy sculpt, I do like the movement in the pose.

  2. Looking good. I like the vikings. I like that they are a bit simpler in dress than fantasy vikings.

    1. Gripping Beast seems to make a more realistic Viking. These look like they are all bundled up for cold weather too, which I doubly appreciate.

      Cheers mate!

    1. Figured all that chain needed breaking up somehow. The gold makes him more interesting, right?

  4. Great work on the hirdmen, especially the shields & wolf-pelt. I usually stay away from painting eyes, or just use a dab of white, but I think they aren't that bad on these guys. It's a nice finishing touch.

    1. Cheers mate. Hate leaving the eyes out - they can really help take a face to that next level.
