15mm Carolingians… Medium Infantry.

Greetings…

I seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment post wise…

This is mostly down to me finishing things that have sat on the painting desk for a while…

Painted a while ago but only just based we have another 15mm Carolingian unit…

This time some Medium/Unarmored infantry …




As always these are really lovely figures to paint…
I have continued the red theme for the Carolingians… This time going for rust and ochre shades.

Trousers and Leggings… Foundry… Drab 12B.
Officer Tunics and Rank and File Sleeves… Citadel… Evil Sunz Scarlet.
Cloaks… Citadel… Mephiston Red.
Leather… Citadel… Deathclaw.
Shoes… Citadel… Mournfang Brown.
Shields… AK11118 Ochre and 11103 Medium Rust.
Scabbards… Citadel… Mournfang Brown.

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, AK Interactive and Citadel...

The bases are as always…

I have to admit if I wasn’t such a butterfly I would get a lot more of these toys painted… Maybe once my life and wargames room has a bit more structure in it I will expand this collection a bit faster… Maybe 😁.

All the best.  Aly

      They are really nice figures and much easier to paint than 28’s.

      All the best. Aly

      I hope I can continue to post more often… it really depends on how my working day of staring into the virtual world goes… if it’s been a very busy one I often don’t feel like looking at any kind of screen when I get home… a book ,some toy soldiers and music feels more relaxing.
      Oh… And there is that hedonistic social whirl of the Nottingham lead belt that can be a bit distracting 😁

      All the best. Aly

  6. Outstanding work, Aly! Your collections seem to be expanding at a respectable clip despite your flutterings between projects.

      Some of the butterflies seem to have settled down and started to grow into collections.

      All the best. Aly

  9. Looking good, I'll resist the temptation to start Carolingians though. Though these make it hard to remain resolute!
