Dark Age Takeaways.


Not exactly a “drive through” more like a “Sail by”. I have recently finished repainting some animals for my Dark Age games, and any other period for that matter. These figures are 1/64 scale, hard rubber and come ready painted. The paint work is okay for toys but I thought they needed a bit of touch up for wargames. A quick re paint and we were away. Inspired by Paul   http://tasmancave.blogspot.com/2011/07/pig-pen.html   and captain arjun http://corblogme.blogspot.com/2011/08/pig-pen.html I have also knocked up a pig pen mainly from Balsa wood on a MDF base.
Some monks and some peasants from Gripping Beast have also been added to give the Vikings something else to chase.
Thanks to Ray http://onelover-ray.blogspot.com/2011/08/viking-flags-no8.html I now have some very nice flags flying from my Viking Longship’s masts.

  2. Now that´s something you don´t see everyday...sheep under attack from beserkers!!! I´d watch out...they are expert fighters with some really good moves..the "lamb chop" for example :-D
    A lovely set of animals there..the removable pigs is a great idea.
    Cheers

  5. Those animals really finish off your village beautifully - i must get some! Glad my pig pen helped inspire you....actually, I like your more than mine :-)

    Hope those Bezerkers fared well - some of those sheep looked quite annoyed!

  6. 1/64 scale? Just larger than 1/72 which is obviously more common but smaller than 1/48 which I thought was closer to 28mm.
