Although I have not posted any painted units for a while, that does not mean my brushes have been idle - far from it! In fact, most of the new batch of Cromarty Forge 10mm figures I received from Australia around Christmas time have now been painted and based - just some Roman Auxiliary slingers and a unit of Auxiliary infantry still to do now.
As there are about twenty bases of newly painted figures for todays "show and tell", I have dispensed with my usual practice of close ups of every single base and just taken images of the three-base units, plus some additional odds and sods I have done, including some more command bases for the Britons.
Warrior Unit One
Warrior Unit Two
Warrior Unit Three
Warrior Unit Four
Command stands using a spare strip of Cromarty warriors, with the experimental 3D prints I got from a local NZ supplier a few weeks back - I think they work well enough together.
One unit of javelin armed Cromarty skirmishers
Three command groups on foot
Mounted command
All four units of warriors - an impressive sight!

Well, that's what I have been doing with my time so far in January, when I have not been playing solo games or getting out for a 28mm game at Barry or Julians place! Currently I have a smallish order of 10mm Romans on the way from Gripping Beast in the UK - they are metal figures, and I am hoping they match up well with the 3D prints when they arrive.
Hopefully, I will manage to play the next solo Wednesday Wargame in a couple of days' time and post an AAR on Thursday - until then, thanks for you visit and for your ever welcome comments.
Some more beautiful painting Keith.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ben.
DeleteNice work, Keith! You remain productively engaged on a number of fronts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon, I do try to keep busy!
DeleteGreat additions to your collection, the command stands are very nice and the 3D figures work well with the CF ones. Your 10mm armies are growing very nicely indeed.
ReplyDeleteCheers Donnie - might be just about time for an Ancient British parade, methinks!
DeleteBeautiful work sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words Michal!
DeleteYou have been a busy boy. The troops look pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray - hoping to get them into action soon!
DeleteExcellent additions Keith and you really are making good progress on these:). Fingers crossed you can keep up your Wargames Wednesdays as well as FtF games with your chums.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, this collection is certainly coming together quicker than a 28mm one would!
Deletecrushin' it! 😁
ReplyDeleteChurz bro!
DeleteQuick and beautiful work on these figures Keith. I have some Gripping Beast 28mm but never noticed that they do 10mm figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence...the GP stuff is hidden away under their Milites Mundi range/tab. It looks quite good but hopefully I should have them in my hot little hands shortly and be able to confirm!
DeleteTremendous work Keith
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Chris, appreciate it!
DeleteSplendid looking Celts! My 28mm Celts and Early Imperial Romans are unfortunately not even assembled yet!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Ah, but when they are, Iain, we will be in for a treat!
DeleteProductive indeed great work Keith 👍
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt, time to get a few more Romans done, now!
DeleteDang, it's really hard to believe they're 10mm - they look like 28mm figures! Excellent work again.
ReplyDeletePraise indeed Dean, but without making any claims about my painting, the figures have an amazing amount of detail for their diminutive size!
DeleteGood to see you’ve not been idle Keith. Very nice work there old fruit. Nice to see your doing the detail justice too, by painting the blokes properly (even if it takes longer). The extra effort is well worth it.
ReplyDeleteCheers JBM, I do try and paint them as well as I can....they are such detailed figures, my eyes and hand can't do them 100% justice, but I am happy with the results!
DeleteAn impressive horde of Brits Keith…
ReplyDeleteIt’s hard to believe that they are such tiny little people…
All the best. Aly
Thanks Aly!
DeleteKeith, your units have gotten numerous enough for large battles. You're maintaining a high standard for them. January seems a good month for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe....maybe it's time for a two or three hour wargame, with more than 6 units per side?
DeleteIncredible quality work Keith.
ReplyDeleteThank you Richard.
DeleteVery productive and great work Keith
ReplyDeleteCheers Scotty....I do try!
Delete10mm sculpting has gotten so much better as time goes by. These look so good Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dai...the use of digital sculpting and ability to create all the detail in, say, 75mm scale...then reduce it down to our wargaming sized figures, is the catalyst for these huge improvements, I would think.
DeleteIsn't that what the industry used to call 3-ups? Larger orignal sculpts that were then shrunk down for actual miniatures production?
DeleteYes I think you are correct Dai
