Last night I finished painting the last of my Border Reviers. The figures have not inspired me and so it's taken about ten years. I have not found it a particularly enjoyable process.
The last figure is the one on the right (above) and in the foreground below. I've converted him to carry a large bundle of plunder and given him a new arm simply holding his reins rather than holding a spear. Some of the spears were rather badly miscast.
Obviously the next job is finishing off the basing and then I need to finish a stronghold (herd of "lifted" sheep, cattle and horses) for these guys and another (a peel tower) for the Warden's Men. I'm off to Melrose for a week on Friday so I need to get it all done by then.
Nice! There are a few border towers near Melrose which are well worth a visit - Smailholm is a favourite. More inspiration for the army?
ReplyDeleteYep, got to Smailholm and to Hermitage too. Shame Smailholm Tower was covered in scaffolding but it was atmospheric all the same. A few close up shots of details will inform the construction of my peel tower.
