Dark Age Scots Part 1

G'day all. Finished these recently for fellow Aussie, first part of a larger Scots Warband project. The figures are all metal Gripping Beast 28mm figures with LBMS shield decals, the tufts are a combination of Gamer's Grass (supplied by customer) & Leadbear's tufts. I was asked to paint some with plaid to help give more of a "Scots look" without overdoing it - I have not deliberately attempted to copy a clan tartan as that would be anachronistic for this era.

First up, 12 archers:








Four of the "Hearth-guard":





All the best,
John.
