From ChristopherS: 28mm Dark Age Early Saxon Gedriht (37 points)



Here is another wonderful unit of Dark Age Early Saxons from Christopher.
Here is my second unit of those elite Early Saxon Gedriht who look like ZZ top on steroids who are just as proficient with their weapons as the others are with their guitars. It's what I think of when I look at them and partly why I like them so much. 

Bill(the sculptor) just made these guys look cool and are a must for any painter interested in early Saxons imho. I added a banner to these guys even though in Dux Brittani rum they have no effect, because I think banners add a bit extra in terms of looks to an army. 
These superb figures are again Musketeer with the equally superb LBM for the shields and banner. The weathering on the rocks and shields is done with MIG pigments which I really enjoy using.

Lovely work once again, Christopher. I agree with you in that these fellows absolutely demand a banner as they're such hard-asses. 

These six warriors will give Christopher a base of 30 points but I'm adding a few more for the excellent banner, shields and groundwork. Well done! (But you're still behind me. Y'know, just sayin'.)  ;-P

    Amazing painting and lovely figs. I was also going to suggest you deserve extra points for all that extra detail in the basing and shields etc. - above and beyond the call of duty! Very impressive.

    Terrific. So much to like there, from the weathering on the shields and rocks to the vegetation on the base. The flag really drives it all home. Well done.
