First two German Warbands

Finished two 48-figure units, the first of the ancient Germans. Figures by Old Glory. These will do for the Cimbric Migrations right through to the Marcomannic Wars, so pretty much three centuries then.

The intention was to make them look appropriately wild, helped by the variety of poses, clothing, shields and weapons.

Shields are a mixture of various types of transfers and basic hand-painted jobs.

For those with clothing (!) the colours are mostly muted, natural ones. Richer folks sometimes have posher dyes and some even have cloaks and/or swords.

This is what they should look like to their own general - moving away towards the opposition as fast as they can.

The last one is a bit blurry, but I hope it shows the basing style.
