More Celts join the warband!

OK, here we go! I painted up another 12 Celtic warriors , which makes another infantry stand and command section of my army. Miniatures are 1/72 scale made by Italeri and Caesar with several conversions done.


As far as painting goes, no new techniques used mostly practised face painting and added some extra highlights.

Figures are based for Neil Thomas's One Hour Wargames (which as always I strongly recommend).

In addition i painted a Commander an a wounded solider. I made bases out of bottle caps.





Actually, I have a question how do you feel about painting eyes on 20mm (1/72 scale) miniatures?
Now as I paint regullary, I'm going to post something at least once a month to help my blog grow!
More Celts to come! Stay tuned!

    Painting eyes on 1/72 - I don't bother, too much hard work for me :) I do wash of light brown on the face to bring up the features.

      Now that I just started painting another 2 stands of infantry, decided to keep painting eyes on 1/72 as they add some personality to minis.

    Painting eyes on 1/72nd? Why not :-) Me...For "mass effect" then shading and highlighting to give a representation, ..for "specialist" bods, ie; Valdemar personalities or if I´m painting for someone, then I do, especially if asked to, paint the eyes but TBH, I use a trick, which is a bit difficult to explain, which isn´t actually entirely painting.
    At the end of the day, painting style is a personal Thing...if one is happy with the result..then it´s good :-)

    PS..I like waht you´ve done with the celts..especially adding the warpaint/Tattoos

      Thanks Paul! I decided to paint eyes as I don't have to speed-paint masive armies (only like 10 minis for painting session).
