Goth Infantry

I worked on a few of each code of Newline Designs 1/72 20mm Goth infantry. There is quite a bit of variety of figures and I wanted to give them individual paint schemes so the bench was covered in tones of paint bottles and it was slow going getting the basecoat done but once that was cracked they were soon done. I aimed for more drab and natural looking colours for the clothes and bright colours for the shields.

The tunic and capped Goths figures look like line drawings from Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome fig. 109 which shows Saxon infantry so they can be used for them also. Overall these codes will make great generic "Dark Age" warriors, at least Germanic cultures. By head swapping figures, such as Late Roman legionaries, and even adding a few legionaries in as better armoured warriors, you can easily increase the potential variation even more to create a varied and pleasing warband.

I think you've done a really nice jobs on these. The faces are particularly good and I'm enjoying the colours on the shields, not too bright but enough to give them a bit of a pop. These look like really nice sculpts by Newline Designs.

When someone says Goth I think of black, dark subculture and weird dressing and make up.
These Goths figures are much nicer :xd:

Thank you everyone! I'm looking forward to creating more characters using conversions in the future. I just have a couple more Late Romans to paint then I'll be back on with my Magnesia project!

I love the colour schemes you used and the faces are very well done.
A great bunch of warriors!
Thank you for sharing.
