Another Mighty Armies army I have completed and I really enjoyed doing this one.
The figures themselves were simple enough to paint and the way I painted them really let the detail come thru. The chariots were lovely to look at and when fully painted I think they look spectacular now, I kept the chariots simple using one colour on them and then applying a gold trim. The reindeer were also kept quite simple with only a few dry brushes of browns on them over a darker brown, the final result really makes them look special. These were based in keeping to how I did the Dwarf and Orc Army, the usual texturing, dry brushing, grass scatter and three types of bushes. The one thing I knew I couldn't do myself was to paint a banner for these as I wouldn't have done it justice. So I looked around and ordered myself some Pictish flags and banners from Wargames Designs. The quality of the flags, the price of them and the number of flags I got on one flag sheet were superb and far better than other companies I looked into. As I have two more of these Barbarian armies to finish the other flags on the sheet I ordered will definitely come in handy, let me know what you think.

One more thing I hadn't posted for a while before today but I will be publishing more blogs very soon and my visit to Wargames Designs also inspired me to do some of my English Civil War figures.
