XbriX's Miniatures (Reborn)

 Another batch of Bronze Age figures from Caesar. This time Sherden warriors in Egyptian service. Thanks to a pretty uniform look and simple colour pallet, I've managed to get twelve of them done in a single weekend. Overall, this might be the best example of 1/72 sculpting I've had the pleasure of painting. The head-to-body proportions are very realistic and overall size is near perfect. I think they will be a good base for comparing sizes of other sculpts. This gentlemen may just be a Vitruvian Man of 1/72 figures 😀. Enjoy the photos!  

I've added yet another chariot to my collection. The Caesar model is absolutely stunning and a blast to paint. My main goal was to show how different materials of the same colour can look (for example, the difference between red wood and red cloth). The runner figure was painted as well. Enjoy the photos!  

Good morning everyone! I've painted a box of Assyrian chariots from Caesar. Nice little models and figures (as always from Caesar). It surprised me how easy they were to put together, especially considering Caesar's soft plastic. I had lots of fun painting all the bright colours and bronze metallics. You might expect more ancients from me in the near future. Enjoy the photos! Edit: I took some additional photos.  

Today I want to show you two new dba-style bases of Early Medieval Russians (or any VIII - XI century Slavic army for that matter), with a bit of a twist. The figures come from Strelets Russian Peasant Levy in Winter Dress set . On closer inspection there is nothing particularly "eastern" about these figures (I could easily see those mixed in a Viking or an Anglo-Saxon force) and some of them are quite well equipped for a "peasant levy" (most wear a nice helmet and a shield, and some come equipped with a gambeson and even a sword!). Thankfully there are a few basic peasants armed with agricultural tools and lumberjack axes in the set too. I painted a base of each style, so one base of light infantry with shields and one handed weapons and one base of armed peasants with improvised weapons. As always, they are based on 60mm wide bases an per DBA, but still Lion Rampant remains my ruleset of choice. There are multiple ways you could field this two units in LR, but I

 Some white metal Germans from TQD castings. Great figures with plenty of details. They were a joy to paint, I surely will get some more from TQD.
