Victrix Armoured Samnites - WIP +1
Finished up painting the figures-proper; including jazzing up some of the tunics. Awaiting the arrival of the LBMS shield transfers order.
Well, sorry for bombarding you all with close, back-to-back posts, but wanted to show them off as not sure when the transfers will arrive. Hopefully soon, and once completed I'll post a "final" one with them based. Cheers to you all!

Better and better! Will be awesome unit!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal! I really like these Victrix sculpts. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteAgree. My favourite in Ancient plastics.
DeleteThe shield transfers for them are great. It is easier to do more fancy patterns on the tunics of the unarmoured Samnites.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mike! Looking forward to seeing them with shields. I'm glad I got the armored set, as I don't want any more tunic areas to paint. Lol! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteNice progresses, they look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Phil! Appreciate the kind words of encouragement. Warmest, Dean
DeleteLooking fantastic Deano! You dont want to come down here, (West Aust) to assist with my painting do you?:)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great results.
Thank you so much for the kind compliments and invite! However, I'm a dyed in the wool "Staycation" kind of guy. :) That all said, you're Italian Hill Tribe guys are making me think of adding some Aventine fellows - maybe cavalry. Best regards, Dean
DeleteThese little details has made great difference!
ReplyDeleteIt's going great!
Thank you very much! Looking forward to "shielding" them with the LBMS beauties! :) Kind regards, Dean
DeleteLovely work as always and steaming along as always!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Ah, thank you for your kind thoughts as always, Iain. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteGreat work so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Simon. Appreciate the encouraging words. Now all I need to do is not mess up on the shield transfers! :) Lol! Best, Dean
DeleteLovely work Dean, good luck with the transfers, I hate transfers!
ReplyDeleteLol! Thanks, Fran. Regular water-slide decals are no problem (usually), but as beautiful as they are LBMS transfers can be a bit tricky - sticking them on off center will ruin it. We'll see! Kind regards, Dean
DeleteThey look fantastic! The washes really set off the detail without blocking any of your great brushwork.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Allan. The sculpting is crisps and well-defined which enhances the washes. I added a bit of PVA glue and some Future Floor Shine to the ink/stain to help it flow and settle into the crevices better too. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteNice work Dean...looking forward to the shields 🙂
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matt! I just ordered a set each of Greek Light Cav and Bowmen - along with more LBMS shield transfers! :) Best, Dean
DeleteThey look outstanding! I have debated adding Samnites to my Punic Wars collection... and these aren't helping me resist the idea, Dean! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the kind compliments, Peter. Well, at least you have a Punic Wars collection to add to! :) I had sold off most of my Macedonian/Successor army (along w/Hoplites, Gauls, etc.) a few years ago. I only kept a few Foundry Hypaspists, two towered Aventine Elies and some Cataphracts. I've been eyeing the Victrix plastic Ancients ranges ever since they've been out. I finally broke down an picked these Sammies up. No regrets. They remind me of 1/72nd Airfix figures when I first got into figures (decades ago!). Quite fun! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteThese are real beauties Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Ray! Warm regards, Dean
DeleteMarvellous work Dean! Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHey, RM! Longtime "no see" Glad to hear from you. Kindest regards, Dean
