Essex 15 DBA II/11 Gallic army

Posted by blacksmith on 30 May 2024, 21:51

This is the first half of the II/11 Gallic army for either DBA 2.2 or 3.0. Shields look better from distance and I had a good time paintinng them. Next will be chariots, cavalry, psiloi and a warband general.

Figures and bases from Essex. I really like Essex figures but their bases are awful as they are made of a poor plastic quality conglomerate that crumbles on the squares and makes the borders rather coarse. I filled their holes with a thick cover of white glue, but they still are crumpy and do not slide smoothly when you try to move one unit touching others. I do not recommend them to anyone.

Oh oh, It seems we are in a good time for Celts :) Very nice shields, especially for 15mm figures!

Thanks Phil. I saw yours and are splendid. I wanted to try tartan as you did but I didn't dare with 15 mm.
Cheers,

I'm not surprised. I don't know if it is possible (maybe with a 4/0 brush), and if it were, it would be very time consuming.

No matter what scale you paint, Javier (15, 20, 30mm,...), the result is always spectacular. :love: :love: :love:
