ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Monday, 15 May 2023

15mm Carolingians… Carolingian Heavy Infantry.

Greetings…

Here is another unit for my 15mm Carolingian project…

Carolingian Heavy Infantry…




As always these fellows were a joy to paint… I have a unit of Carolingian Medium Infantry undercoated and waiting patiently on the my desk for me to finish butterflying around… looking at my dest at the moment they certainly are going to need their patience. 😁
I think I will do a bit of desk clearing…so expect a fair mixture of pretty toys to appear over the next wee while.
The Heavy Infantry were painted pretty much in the same colours as the Guard Cavalry…

The Leather Bits are… Citadel… Deathclaw Brown.

The Red Bits are… Citadel… Evil Sunz Scarlet and Mephiston Red.

The Yellow Bits are… Foundry… Ochre 4B.

The Boots are… Citadel… Doombull Brown.

The Spears are… Foundry… Spearshaft Light 13C.

As always everything was given a coat of Aly’s Brown Liquid and then highlighted with the original colours.

The figures are from Forged in Battle.

The paints are Wargames Foundry and Citadel...

The bases are as always…

All the best   Aly

  1. Another lovely unit Aly, and interesting to see what these forged in battle minis actually look like when painted up. Are they 15´s or closer to 18…? Asking for a friend who was also interested to know if they’d mix okay with Peter Pig stuff? :-)

  8. Lovely figures as ever, but you are a tease to refer to the butterflies littering your painting desk but then not tell us what they are! ;o)

  13. They are a hardy bunch of lads Aly. Those shields really make them pop.
