Scots (and some Scythians) - posted by Craig Mabon, 19 April 2020

In response to popular demand (well,Vincent Cholewa asked), here's a brief photo essay of what I did in the Lockdown of 2020. Not as much as I'd like as I'm working from home - mind you I now have about 3 hours a day that was formerly travelling time in which to paint. The lead mountain is beginning to look like as small hill. So far I've completed 14 elements of Pk(F), 3 elements of Bge(O), 2 elements of LH(O), 2 elements of Cv(O), 5 elements of Ps(O) and 4 elements of Ps(S) for the Army of the Scottish play and 2 elements of LH(F), Scythian allies for my Kushans.
Psiloi (S) and (O) with baggage in the background
Scots Javelinmen (Ps(S))


Baggage/Camp
Scots Cavalry - Cv(O) in front, LH(O) behind)

Scots Spearmen, of which I have 38 elements so far painted (14 in the last month)

More Scots spearmen
Yet more Scots spearmen

LH(O), with a couple of blokes in heavier armour included, because I had left-over figures



Something Completely Different - Scythian Horse Archers


Scots Archers (Ps(O))

Scots Archers again
Dirk Heinsius Excellent more barbarians to incorporate into the Roman Empire

Vincent Cholewa Tufts! Good on you, Craig. Great work 👍
  • Craig Mabon Thank Scott Bowman and Kapiti Hobbies. I have supplemented the white heather I began with two shades of purple/lilac, so now I have to back and add some of the more colourful heather to the first bases completed.
  • John Edmundson Oh, the summertime is comin'
    And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
    And the wild mountain thyme

    Grows around the purple heather
    Will you go? Lassie, will you go?
