Been busy with life, work, and work, but still been managing to paint quite a bit, play a bit, and also working with Stevie G to reorganize and label our 15mm Napoleonic army\u2019s!<\/p>\n<p>So, here are some more of those Byzantine troops painted up to match Chris A\u2019s SAGA war band. 4 <em>Skutatoi <\/em>Archers and 4 Spear men. Not my normal painting style but they needed to match. I think I\u2019ve done this pretty well and even made them a bit better but not so much that it\u2019s a noticeable difference. Chris gave me transfers for the shields (something I\u2019m not a fan of using on my stuff) so I tried them, on the spear men they worked ok and match the original army perfect but the ones for the archers were too big and I had to hand paint those. Matched the basing, coated, and done, enjoy Chris!<\/p>\n<p><em>Click to enlarge.<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2687\" style=\"width: 1247px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Spear1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2687\" class=\"wp-image-2687 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Spear1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1237\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Spear1.jpg 1237w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Spear1-150x55.jpg 150w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Spear1-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Spear1-768x282.jpg 768w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Spear1-1024x377.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Spear1-500x184.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1237px) 100vw, 1237px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2687\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hand made Steel Spears and applied transfer shield designs.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2686\" style=\"width: 1250px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Achers1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2686\" class=\"wp-image-2686 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Achers1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1240\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Achers1.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Achers1-150x58.jpg 150w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Achers1-300x116.jpg 300w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Achers1-768x297.jpg 768w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Achers1-1024x396.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/historicalhobbies.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Skutatoi-Achers1-500x193.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1240px) 100vw, 1240px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2686\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">With theses I had to paint the shields, not to bad I think.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Next?<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick little post to prove I\u2019m still alive\u2026..
