Normans of Stockholm

Do you know of any good miniatures?

2008-10-05T13:33:00.004+02:00

I'm looking for 15mm fantasy evil men. Preferable with heavy armour and some kind of skull face-mask.
Do anyone know of any good ones?
What I'm looking for is Drakkarim, something similar to this one.

First part of my Hawaii army

2008-10-05T13:23:00.003+02:00

This is the first part of my Hawaiian army. They are funny to paint, lot of flesh.

Aztec Grey Knights

2008-09-21T10:26:00.004+02:00

This is some Grey Knights in Ocelot suits for my Aztec army. They are of course from Black Hat.

New version

2008-09-20T22:42:00.005+02:00

Same as before, but the one on the left has a new hat and a new pair of trousers and the one on the right got a nose job.

Late Roman archers

2008-09-17T22:31:00.005+02:00

These are Late Roman archers from Khurasan Miniatures. They were very fun and nice to paint. I'm looking forward to see the rest of the range.

I'm not to happy with the painting of their faces, but the painting didn't look that bad live. And I have re-painted one of the trousers grey.

A HotT Game

2008-09-14T18:29:00.007+02:00

A few days ago me, Matts and Andy fought our first HotT game (HotT is a Fantasy DBA game). It was very close, but in the end we won with 9-8. Our left was under hard pressure but they were standing firm. Out right pressured our opponents hard, but their Blade general killed everything that was thrown against him (including the Sneaker). But the enemies' centre was defeated and at the end of the battle there was a big hole there.

The troops have been deployed.

Matts is already starting to celibrate.

The troops are advancing.

The armies are standing still, waiting for the other to do the first move.

The first combat on the right.

The enemies on the right have been defeated!

There is a big whole on the right!

Matts have stabilized the right.

"What to do?"

The centre is pushing forward.

And now there is a small hole in the centre.

The battle is over!

What DBA army should I paint next?

2008-08-19T19:53:00.004+02:00

I don't know what DBA army to paint next. I want to paint a nice and colourful army. The miniatures should be nicely sculpted and have multiple poses. And it's a bonus if the army is funny in some way (like have a Litter general, be very obscure or just plain silly). Do you have any suggestions? I have been thinking about Hawaiian, Post-Mongol Samurai, Mound Builder (from Eureka), Aztec, Zapotec (from Black Hat) and Late Carthaginians (from Corvus Belli). All suggestions are welcome!

The Greaco-Bactrians are here

2008-08-19T19:34:00.009+02:00

This is pictures of my Graeco-Bactrian army. They were a blast to paint. The miniatures are from Xyston.

The Greek/Makedonian pike phalanx. The shields blazons are suppose to be Zeus.

The Persian part of the army.

Some Greeks and Makedonians.

My lovely elephant.

The camp (from Baueda).

Some Mountain Indians (the guys to the left are not part of this army, they just wanted to be in the picture).

The Tlingit is here

2008-08-19T19:31:00.009+02:00

I have now finally painted my Tlingit army from Eureka. They were extremely fun to paint with their wooden helmets and armour.

These are the skirmishers. Two nice Ps with guns.

And these are the warriors. In the middle you can see the army's general.

First element for my evil HotT army

2008-06-16T22:23:00.005+02:00

This is my first element for my evil HotT army. It's Orc Lurkers, waiting to find some poor victims in the thick forests were they are lurking for enemies passing by.

Eagle Knights

2008-06-02T19:36:00.003+02:00

I painted some nice Eagle Knights from Black Hat the other week, very nice miniatures.

My Hero

2008-05-25T17:59:00.002+02:00

The title says it all.

More Fantasy

2008-04-29T18:31:00.003+02:00

When it comes to fantasy I'm not only interested in females, males are also nice. Here is my new buddy. It's the Mouth of Sauron from GW's LotR range.

Some Fantasy

2008-04-29T00:45:00.005+02:00

I'm a historical guy, but sometimes it's fun with fantasy. Here is a nice one from Hasslefree, very nice to paint. The base is from Micro Art Studio.

How to paint skin, a lot of skin

2008-04-06T15:35:00.010+02:00

Someone asked me how I paint skin on naked or almost naked guys. This is how I do it:

When I paint flesh I normally use three colours and an ink. The reason is that the figure will look flat and boring if I only use one, but if I use three all the details will be seen. The colours are there to show the curves of the human body; to show the muscle bone structure. I will here paint two naked dudes. They are Greeks, so I will paint one as European, but the other will painted as a South American. You don’t need to use the exact right skin colour; in 15mm and 28mm it won’t matter anyway. What is important with American Indians is that their skin tone is a little redder. The colours I will use are Foundry’s Flesh and GW’s flesh ink for the European guy and GW’s Dark flesh, Vermin Brown, Foundry’s Flesh A (but you can as well use Vallejo or GW’s Bronzed Flesh) and GW’s brown ink for the South American.

Sorry for the pictures, they are way too light.

1) I start with priming them black.
2) Then I start painting the darkest flesh colour. Make sure that the colour covers the figure. Remember that it’s better to paint to thin layers instead of one thick.
Stage 2
3) After this I will use ink at some points; around the eyes, ears and mouth. Don't forget the fingers and toes.
Stage 3
4) After it have dried I go back with the darkest flesh colour and paint it where needed. I have done that at the circled parts on the European guy.
Stage 4
5) Now I paint the middle flesh colour, covering maybe 50-75% of the skin. I will paint all areas that are not in shadows and those areas that are in recessions. This doesn't show up so good at the European guy, so instead look at the Indian guy.
Stage 5
6) Now we are almost done. The last paint will only be used at those areas that are on the top in the sun. I should have taken the picture from above, but look at the circled areas on the Indian guy to see a little of what I mean.
Stage 6

Does this sound complicated? It isn’t. If you have a naked guy DBA army you can paint it up very fast. We are talking about hours, not days.

7) And we can finish it with painting some eyes on them. The circled area is just a reflection.
Stage 7 Finished dudes.

More spanish troops

2008-04-04T20:06:00.002+02:00

The Spanish troops are never stop coming, just more and more are coming over the hills to join the battle against the evil Romans.

Bactrian-Greek Phalanx

2008-04-03T23:42:00.002+02:00

This is my Bactrian-Greek phalanx. The shield is Zeus with a spear in one hand and a thunderbolt in the other. It was very fun to paint.

Makedonian Companion cavalry

2008-04-01T22:19:00.002+02:00

Here is some old figures. It's Companion cavalry from Foundry.

Bactrian-Persian forces

2008-03-31T20:29:00.001+02:00

Here are some of my Bactrian-Persian forces for my Graeco-Bactrian army.

More Celt-Iberians

2008-03-30T14:12:00.001+02:00

You can't get enought of Celt-Iberians, or can you?

My little piggy

2008-03-29T01:17:00.003+01:00

This is my little piggy. I hope he will make wonders at the up coming Bloodcon tournament.

Makedonian cavalry

2008-03-28T23:08:00.002+01:00

Here is some troops for my Graeco-Bactrian army.

Camp

2008-03-27T23:03:00.002+01:00

Here is my Greek fortified camp. It's from Baueda.

Knights

2008-03-26T22:38:00.003+01:00

I painted up some Knights for the 100 years war. They are from Perry.

Finally Done

2008-03-23T01:40:00.003+01:00

My Norman army is finally done. This is the last Knights I needed to paint and base. Maybe I will add more to this army in the future, maybe not.

Pantodapoi

2008-03-18T22:28:00.005+01:00

When basing the Argyraspides, I really get the urge to paint some pikemen. So after looking around I decided I wanted to paint a Persian pikemen (Pantodapoi), perfect for a successor army. All in his unit will have the same uniform, except for the trousers; I would hate to paint 32 pants like that. I haven't painted the shield yet, but it will be like the one in the Alexander Osprey book (H2).

Basing Pikemen

2008-03-18T22:18:00.003+01:00

Here is some newly based old figures. They are based on a 40x80 base. Two of them together and they count as a front rank with support. They are suppose to be Argyraspides, equipt for Alexander's Indian campaign or later.

Basing

2008-03-18T12:58:00.001+01:00

I have written a guide to how you can easily base your miniatures.

http://skyfflably.com/main/basing.html

Jesus lives!

2008-03-04T19:23:00.003+01:00

Today I painted my first shield with a figure, I think it's Jesus or some kind of Saint. It was mighty fun to paint him. I will paint more in this unit.

Some Assyrians

2008-02-09T18:07:00.000+01:00

I'm not to happy painting 15mm (except for Xyston), so I painted these Middle Assyrians from Essex with the Dip. They are not that nice looking, but its a fast way to make them ugly. So why do I paint them? Because I will need a Biblical army next week-end.

The last to arrive

2008-01-20T22:32:00.000+01:00

The last of the troops to arrive to make the army battle-ready is the Libyan mercenary cavalry. If I paint a Numidian army they can also double as General for them. I will of course continue painting more for this army. I will need more of eveything; more Light Horse, Cavalry, Spear, Auxilia, Psiloi, Elephants and Warbands. You always need more elephants. And I'm also painting Hannibals veterans.

What will the next army be? Hard to say, but Crusader Miniatures will soon release Successor pikemen, hoplites and thureophoroi. I love that. Maybe I will paint it as Molon's army (the renegade Seleucid satrap of Media). The army will be very colourful, the cloth and armour will be inspired by the Persians. This really gives me a hard-on.

The elephants have arrived!

2008-01-08T01:32:00.000+01:00

Here is the first Carthaginian elephant. He's from A&A Miniatures and is pretty cool. I would recommend everyone to buy an elephant and paint it.

More Germans

2008-01-02T00:21:00.000+01:00

Here are five more Germans.

New Germans

2007-12-30T21:18:00.001+01:00

Here is three new (and two old rebased) Germans. They are from Graven Images.

Mistress Abigail

2007-12-27T20:40:00.000+01:00

And here is another of the nice mistresses.

Spanish Cavalry

2007-12-24T22:55:00.000+01:00

Here is my Spanish light cavalry.

More skirmishers

2007-12-23T15:21:00.001+01:00

You can't get enough of Libyan skirimishers, here are some more.

Carthaginian Thureophoroi

2007-12-22T10:56:00.000+01:00

After a while the good citizens of Carthage didn't want to fight as hoplites any more. Instead they started fighting as Thureophoroi (or something similar). As usual they are from Crusader.

More Libyan mercenaries

2007-12-19T20:05:00.000+01:00

Here are more Libyan mercenary hoplites.

Today I got some Carthaginians so I can finish my army. Its some cavalry and an elephant.

Mistress Tara

2007-12-17T19:19:00.000+01:00

This is Mistress Tara. She is 40mm tall and from Graven Images.

Some Germans

2007-12-16T17:43:00.000+01:00

Right now Weird World War seems to be very popular. I can only say: Bring on the Zombies! But first some Germans. They were very funny to paint so I get more to paint! These Germans are 40mm and from Graven Images.

More Libyans

2007-12-14T20:57:00.000+01:00

Here are more Libyans, this time it's skirmishers.

Disturbia

2007-12-08T21:20:00.000+01:00

Graven Images (which is distributed by Monolith) has a very nice range called Disturbia. Here is a few of their miniatures from a sub-range called "Torture Garden". I like them, they were really fun to paint. They are 40mm high from toe to eye.

This is Mistress Lorna

and this is a gimp rider and her friend Mistress Sonia.

But now I have to go back to my Mistress, she is calling.

Libyan Mercenary Hoplites

2007-12-08T17:29:00.000+01:00

Here is some libyan mercenary hoplites.

Normans vs Patricians

2007-12-06T22:27:00.000+01:00

Me and Rickard had a good DBA game. The figures are 28mm. We fought twice, I lost both.

Libyan mercenary hoplite command

2007-12-04T19:47:00.001+01:00

This is my Libyan mercenary hoplite command.

Thracian DBA Army

2007-12-02T16:28:00.001+01:00

This is my Thracian DBA army (I/48). I used Xyston figures. It was actually the first 15mm army I painted, it was great fun. The Thracian army have one cavalry (the general), six auxilia and two psilois. They can also have three light horse or auxilia or any combination of it.

This is the general and his retinue. They are heavily armed and hellenized cavalry from the south of Thracia.

These men are, like their chiefs, heavily hellenized. They are lowland thracians from the south.

Here are the warriors. They are though hill-men looking for trouble.

These men are the armies skirmishers.

Celt-Iberian Command

2007-12-02T09:36:00.000+01:00

Here is the first of my new Celt-Iberians. It's the boss and his pals.

Iberian skirmishers

2007-12-01T16:30:00.000+01:00

Here is some Iberian skirmishers.

The command

2007-11-27T21:17:00.000+01:00

Here is the Carthaginian command cavalry.

Good music

2007-11-26T23:16:00.000+01:00

The Carthaginians are coming

2007-11-25T16:16:00.000+01:00

Over the next few weeks I will show you my Carthaginian army. The whole army isn't painted yet, but hopefully it will be in Januari. The figures are from Crusader and the shields are handpainted (but inspired by Little Big Man Studio).

First out is Carthaginian Citizen Sacred Band. They fought as hoplites. They were used up to around 300 BC and are therefore techically not a part of my Late Carthagianian army. But I like them so I will start with them.

Sassanids

2007-10-07T00:43:00.000+02:00

What's up dude?

2007-10-04T21:31:00.000+02:00

-What's up dude?
-It's ok. I'm currently painting alot, sleeping alot and doing alot of other stuff.
-What're you painting?
-There are currently some Saxons and Sassanids on my painting table.
-Sassanids?
-Yeah, new project. Well, it's not a project really, it's more like a bunch of guys hanging around.
-Thanks for the talk.
-You are welcome.

More Empire stuff

2007-08-02T22:31:00.000+02:00

And here is some parts of the river.

Mighty Empires

2007-08-02T18:19:00.000+02:00

I just bought Mighty Empires. I'm right now painting up the tiles, they are lovely. Here is the first ones, mountains. They are painted mostly with GW's new paints. There will be more tomorrow (the rivers need to dry over the night).

New Romans

2007-07-22T22:21:00.001+02:00

These Romans were dipped.

15mm Dip

2007-07-21T18:16:00.001+02:00

I have tried to use the Dip on 15mm. Every figure toke 10 minutes to paint, very fast for me.

What have I been up to lately?

2007-06-23T13:51:00.001+02:00

I have tried out painting using the Dip method. It is very easy and fast. You can actually finish a figure in 15-20 minutes! The results are maybe not the best ever, but they are ok.

The Norman armyboxes

2007-06-23T13:00:00.000+02:00

So how am I going to transport my new Norman army? Easy, just using these two boxes.

The cavalry

2007-06-09T16:35:00.000+02:00

Here is the cavalry, the army is almost finished.

The Knights are arriving

2007-05-07T21:29:00.000+02:00

The knights are arriving. Three elements are done, only three left to do.

The Bretons has arrived

2007-05-05T02:42:00.000+02:00

Now the Breton cavalry has arrived. It's both heavy and light cavalry. I just need to paint 6 knights and 6 horses, then my army is done!

Almost done

2007-05-01T22:37:00.000+02:00

For the last days I have been painting a lot. I have finished some skirmishers, light horse and heavy cavalry, but I have only based the skirmishers and the light horse. Unlucky for us all I can't show any pictures of them because I have problem with my camera equipment (I can't located them). My Norman army is almost done now!

Last few weeks

2007-04-22T23:10:00.001+02:00

What have I done the last few weeks? Painting horses, a lot of horses. So soon I will have my Norman army done!

Abandoned project

2007-04-14T09:18:00.000+02:00

Last year I bought the new Welsh from Gripping Beast. I bought them because I thought that they were looking really nice. Maybe the poses are a little bit stiff, but they did paint up really nice. Then I figured out that most of the figures in the army would be very boring to paint, so I abandoned this project after just painting 6 figures.

Something different

2007-04-12T00:52:00.000+02:00

My girlfriend isn't so fond of my hobby, so in a weak moment I promised her to paint some nails (not real nails, but fake ones). So this evening I tried to do it. She's Finnish so I painted some Finnish stuff. It’s a Finnish flag, one Finnish coat-of-arms, Puma, lovers and some gold and black thing. (Doesn't the nails look a little like thureos shields?) It was a little fun, but I hope she's satisfied with them and don't want any more, because I want to continue painting my Normans!

Just a little left to do

2007-04-09T18:14:00.000+02:00

-How is it going with your Norman army?

-Good.

-Much left to do?

-No, not really, just a few riders and horses.

-Have you made any progress lately?

-No, not really. I have been busy with other stuff.

-Ok, but will it be done soon?

-Well, I hope so.

Well, this is what's left do do.

Paint part

2007-04-08T11:18:00.000+02:00

Here is were I will store my paint bottles.

I will buy more of these boxes so that I can store all miniatures that are done and all those I’m currently working with.

A wargamers closet

2007-04-07T22:46:00.000+02:00

Now I have a wargames/computer closet! Pretty cool isn’t it? (Or is it just sad?) Well, it’s my closet so I do whatever I want with it (I hope my girlfriend don’t read this). It isn't really done yet, but soon I can start painting again.

In the upper part I have painted figures and in the bottom I will have paint, keyboard and stuff. I hope my figures won't weight to much.

Well, now I have to go back to be sick again (I have a terrible cold).

Bloodcon VII

2007-03-25T14:12:00.000+02:00

Yesterday was Bloodcon VII in Uppsala. It was a great tournament, I had a great time. I ended up somewhere in the bottom, but that was ok. Chris from the club ended up with the bronze and Rickard's army was the most inspiring, a well deserved victory. I brought my Late Achaemenid Persians and the Chariot of Doom (mostly his own doom).

Chris looking at Rickard's new DBA board. In the background are my Persians (in the red thing).

The crowd waiting for the first game. There's excitement in the air!

The first game was against Oskar and his Pre-islam Arabs. He had a lot of dunes and camels, I lost with 12-0. Even through it was a bad start of the tournament I enjoyed myself greatly and I did actually enjoy it so much that I forget to take any pictures fro m the game. Sorry Oskar.

The second game was against my old friend Rickard and his medieval Finns. Somehow I did actually manage to win; the reason could be because he didn't feel well.

After two games it was time for lunch, pizza of course. One loss and one win is not that bad for me. During lunch break everyone could look at each others armies.

Simon's Italian condotta

Mikael's Anglo-Norman

Rickard's Finns

Closer look at Rickard's army

My Persians

Oskar's Arabs

After lunch there were three more games. The first game was against Tony and his Polish knights. They just rode over me. It was a great game and Tony was great fun to play against.

Next game was against Simon and his Italians. Once again it was a blast and a loss. I thought I had him, but my center decided to attack at the wrong moment (note to myself: be patient and if it looks to good it is to good). I was trying to it his right flank, but he totally destroyed my center.

The last game was actually a win! Now I'm finally starting to figure out how to use my Persians. I suppose that means it's time to get a new army! Did I tell you it was a great funny game? It was hilarious, it could have gone either way!

There were a lot of nice Barker Markers. This one was maybe the nicest. It's from Hasslefree Miniatures, I must get me a nice one too!

So all in all, it was very nice. Thanks Nils and everyone else for the great event!

Back in business!

2007-03-16T19:04:00.000+01:00

I'm back, I have found my login name and password! What's new? Nothing much. Next weekend there will be a tournament in Uppsala. My goal is not to end last.

Libya civil war

2007-01-28T21:09:00.000+01:00

My and some friends came together and played some games of DBA. The project was that everyone would make a Libyan I/7b army. The day was exciting and I finished second out of five! Here are some pictures from the day. The first game was against Rickard. He was unlucky and his general was the first casualty of the day.

Rickard are looking close at my deployment, what is the best tactic to beat me?
He starts moving the general. He is going to outflank me.

What happened? The general has disappeared from picture 2 to 3. He is dead, killed by a lone bowman.

The next game was against Jens. I led with 3-0 and only had to kill one more, instead he won with 4-3, bugger!

The third game was against Chris, our local champ. After a hard fight I did actually win!

So I had a very nice day of DBA playing and pizza eating!

This was a fun silly idea. I hope that we will do something like this again soon. I want to do "The conquest of Vinland", including Vikings, Eskimos, Indians, Mould Builders and Welsh.

15mm Libyans

2007-01-06T22:22:00.000+01:00

As if I don't have enought unfinished projects I started a new one. This is the first of my Early Libyan DBA army (I/7b). It's one warband, two skirmishers and two bows.

Norman archers

2006-12-31T11:48:00.000+01:00

Here is my "new" norman archers. They were painted a few month ago, but based yesterday.

The Aztecs are back!

2006-11-14T19:44:00.000+01:00

Here are some more Aztecs.

Here they are!

2006-10-30T00:03:00.000+01:00

Well, the Swedes are ready for battle! On the right is the Närke-Värmlands regiment and on the left is the Elfsborg regiment. I really like them, I can't wait for more!

Persian Colonist Cavalry

2006-10-30T00:01:00.000+01:00

My Persian DBA army are almost done now. I have only the General left to paint.

No more Swedes today

2006-10-29T18:40:00.000+01:00

I had hoped to have the rest of the Swedes done today, but no. Instead here are some pictures from a concert last night. The photos sucks big time, but it is Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb. They were pretty cool, especially Nitzer Ebb who ruled big time!

Swedes

2006-10-24T00:48:00.000+02:00

Today Musiketeer Miniatures new Great Northern War Swedes arrived. I got excited and started to paint them right away. The one on the right is from the Närke-Värmlands regemente, while the one on the left is from the Björneborg regemente. I haven't based them yet, but it will be the standard basing that can be seen on other figures.

More Persians

2006-10-22T14:37:00.000+02:00

Here is the Persian light cavalry.

Repainted shield

2006-10-22T13:39:00.000+02:00

Well, I wasn't to happy with the Takabara shields. So after looking at Little Big Men Studios new transfer I got "inspired" to paint mine. Thanks LBMS!

Persian transfers

2006-10-21T10:53:00.000+02:00

Good new for all you persian lovers out there. Little Big Men Studios has released transfers for Xyston's Persians. There are three different sheets, for guard infantry, for kardake and for takabara.

More Persians

2006-10-15T17:45:00.000+02:00

Here are my Persian skirmishers, Xyston as always.

Persian Guard cavalry

2006-10-09T21:07:00.000+02:00

The third stand in my new Persian DBA army is the Persian Guard Cavalry.

Aitolian army

2006-10-08T10:57:00.000+02:00

Here is one more DBA army, this time it's a Aitolian (II/5e) army. In the front are a lot of skirmishers and behind them a small phalanx. In the back are some light cavalry.

Persian Guard infantry

2006-10-05T23:16:00.000+02:00

Long time since the last up-date. During October I have been painting an Aitolian DBA army and now I have started on a Late Achaemenid Persian DBA army. This is the first two stands, Persian Guard infantry. Don't forget to look at the trousers on the right stand, they were a real pain to paint. The figures are from Xyston.

Indians

2006-09-13T20:58:00.000+02:00

Here are some of my indians.

Alexandrian Macedonian army

2006-09-10T16:47:00.000+02:00

Here is my Alexandrian Macedonian army. In the fron we have the ligh troops, Thracians (1xAx, 1xPs) and Greeks (1xAx, 1xPs). Behind them are the phalanx (6xPk), with the Hypaspists to the left. In the center are the Companions (1xKn, 1xCv) and the Prodromoi (1xLH).

This picture is actually old (it's from last weekend), the two Companions are now swapped with a Thessalian cavalry (1xCv) and a nice mounted Makedonian general (with Companions, 1xKn).

Athenian army

2006-09-07T23:00:00.000+02:00

This is my Athenian DBA army. In the front we have the Hoplites (8xSp), behind them are the rest (1xCv, 1xLH, 1xAx and 1xPs).

Thracian army

2006-09-05T23:14:00.000+02:00

Here is my 15mm Xyston Thracian DBA army. It's 1xCv (in the middle), 2xLH (at both sides of the general), 8xAx (everywhere) and 2xPs (in the front, to the left). They are mid 3rd century BC, so some are Hellenised, some are not.

Greek Skirmishers

2006-09-03T11:21:00.000+02:00

Here is some of my greek skirmishers.
