I paint small metal and plastic figures and rarely get to play with them. But that is fine with me.

JomsViking Warriors

Here's my 1st unit of JomsViking Warriors. They all get the same shape shield which in turn is painted in the same shade of red to make them easily identifiable on the tabletop. Am sure the shields are entirely unhistorical, but they'll do for me.

Newest member is in orange with the pointy helmet and horsehair plume. Nice to have these off my table! Now only another 16 to go before I can call this 6-point Saga warband done..... -__-

Couldn't find examples online of any vikings "Joms" or otherwise with this big board-style of shield so kept it all simple with a nice primary colour to keep them similar. Small rune in black on each shield is for "Odin", next unit will get the rune for "Thor".

About to charge into their unpainted mates on the shelf ahead. 

Also managed to finish up the Warhammer 40K Ogryn commission previously previewed. Ended up having a lot of fun painting this mini and am quite happy with how he came out. Forgive the crude pictures, I took them prior to leaving to work this morning in my back garden prior to watering our vegetable plants. The client seemed well pleased with it, so I guess mission accomplished.

Client prefers to base his own stuff, so hence the Dai-paw in the picture.

Loads of fun bulges and folds in this sculpt to make it interesting and fun to paint.
I also got started on some more 15mm Confederate infantry to be able to use in my upcoming ACW Longstreet campaign, but there isn't much to show just yet, so no pictures until next post.

Much loves and stuffs to you all!
