Keeping up with the ancients and repainting old models

Welcome back!

Today I can show you what has been laying on my desk for too long, more ancients!

More exactly 4 peltasts with yellow shields and 4 slingers in brown.

Here they are mixed in with the others I have made in a earlier post, :https://wordpress.com/post/goodenoughhobbies.com/767

If find that the yellow gives a great tonal variety, as the green, brown & orange where a bit same-y. Introducing a really vibrant yellow breaks up the unit colors to reflect how different the colours could be as no standardization was available and soldiers could hail from wildly different provinces when coming together into an army. To boot, mercenaries where often used, further giving the troops different colours.

Onward to the other topic for today.

I friend of mine has invited me to come test out the skirmish game Warhammer: Warcry with his friends, and naturally I said HECK YEAH!

So, I have some time to come up with a warband, and luckily I had quite a few models laying around.

As you might have seen, I use a lot of models from the Warhammer univers as stand ins for various monsters and ruffians in my games of frostgrave. This has lead me to have quite a lot of all kinds of legal models, now that cities of sigmar rules dropped.

On the right side we have my old cultist models, an old Dark elf Dreadspear model kitbashed with a knife and arm from Fireforge sergeants. On the right we see the first of the new Dark elf warband troops, repainted without stripping the original models.

This method is quite fast and I should have a ready warband quite quickly.

Cheers!
