The two "big guys" on each stand are from the Warlord Games SPQR Heroes set. Along with the bare-chested guy (Lucterius - according to the set) are a previously painted standard bearer and musician. The winged helmet guy (Vercingetorix) has a hound from Black Cat minis.
"Vercingetorix" has a Victrix shield with LBMS transfer.
Gave "Lucterius" a captured Praetorian officer's fur cape lined with purple cloth.
Except for the hound, all the figures are plastic. Actually, the two hero figures are made in a softer plastic - somewhat pliable, like many pre-painted toy figures.
I used the spare hound as the size and pose of "Vercingetorix" takes up quite a bit of the 50mm round base. Didn't want to crowd another "human" figure on it.
Next up is the mounted figure from the set - but I'm trying to modify a spare Victrix horse for him The horse that comes with the set appears very undersized - kind of like a large dog. There's also a Druid figures, but don't plan on painting him up right now. Once the mounted guy is done, I hope to take some pictures of the Celtic army in total.
Thanks again for visiting and wishing you all good health and happy hobby pursuits. Speaking of health, here in the Puget Sound area, we've been blanketed in smoke from fires burning not only in Washington, but also the airflow is bringing up smoke from fires in Oregon and California.
Your work never ceases to amaze and astound, Dean! Awesome patterns and colors. The East side of the state is blanketed in heavy smoke as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Jonathan. Yes, smoke from fires on the east side were here earlier before the onshore winds picked up. At least it's cool now. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteOoh!Awesome looking command!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Michal! Kind regards, Dean
DeleteShouldn't Vercingetorix have opted for a full sized poodle?
ReplyDeleteLol! That would give him a lot of gall. :) Best regards, Dean
DeleteAwesome paintjob on these Dean. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Ray! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteWow, wow, wow! These stands are just marvellous Dean! Hope the situation in your parts gets back to normal. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your kind words, Mike. It's been smokey for about a week, but the temperature has dropped a bit so not too uncomfortable. Warmest regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Mike! Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSuperb painting! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much again! Kind regards, Dean
DeleteThese look great Dean.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you'll not be badly impacted by the fires, we've had an unseasonable week of rain in WI, hopefully some of that will make it your way.
Thanks for the kind words, Scrivs. Looking forward to our normal September rains. Best regards, Dean
DeleteReminds of the remake of the movie “Italian Job” where the dude is scouting out their next heist and he sees war dogs (okay guard dogs, but you get me) and the scene goes:
ReplyDeleteLeft Ear: This dude got dogs. I don't do dogs... I had a real bad experience, man.
Charlie Croker: What happened?
Left Ear: I had. A bad. Experience. Damn it.
That’s me across the field of battle and see your Gauls have dogs;)
They look very nice sir.
Cheers
Kevin
Lol! Thanks so much for the comment, Kevin! Always appreciate your visits. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteBoth look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Bartek. Kindest regards,Dean
DeleteAwesome Warlords, Dean!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and yours. Be safety. My father worked in Fire Department more than 20 years. Every Fall he went at hills around Alma-Ata and putted out a fire. I still remember the smell of burning from his clothes.
Cheers,
Vasiliy
Thank you very much for your kind words, Vasiliy. Much appreciated. So far, only smoke here, and should get a little rain this week. Warmest regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Phil. Best regards, Dean
DeleteMore beautiful work Dean - as always. As to the fires, well we all know the answer now don't we....better forest management....cheers Donald....stay safe!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith. They actually caught a couple folks starting fires along freeways here. Best regards, Dean
DeleteYes, I think I read they charged one guy then released him...and caught him using Molotov cocktails to light 6 more...cant say what I think as it may offend some of the readers!
DeleteWonderful stuff Dean, some great additions to the War band.
ReplyDeleteCheers
Stu
Thanks a lot, Stu. The Celtic army is almost done. Just one more command figure. Kindest regards, Dean
DeleteLovely looking command stands! Hope it's just smoke and doesn't get any worse!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you kindly, Iain. Hopefully the smoke will clear out by the end of the week. Warm regards, Dean
DeleteWell, Dean, I am truly running out of superlatives for your incredible painting. I hop your situation improves; the smoke from the fires has created a constant upper atmospheric haze the past 3 days even here in the Northeast!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Peter. It is still overcast, but air quality has improved to "moderately unhealthy." Warm regards, Dean
DeleteLooking ace Dean! You've pulled off those patterned clothes admirably.
