Cheers, Nik. I'd love to do an ancients battle rep someday, but I haven't seen my gaming mates in 9 months and we've all gone off on divergent projects. One guy is doing 1/72 WWII North Africa and one is getting a Dragon Rampant army done up. I will try and talk them into doing Republican Romans though. lol

Glad you got your tree problem resolved. Fantastic work on the Gauls too. The shields look fantastic. I’d never have guessed they weren’t transfers. 👍

Thank you very much. I painted so many Warhammer shields in my time that these ones were a little nostalgic.

Great painting James. Love the free hand shields.

Great work buddy. Glad that tree is down no more worries of a tree going into your house. I had trouble with my charging middle guard to get them based uniformly. Great update.

Sometimes getting figures to sit on their bases properly can be a right pain in the ass. Warlord's Gauls are great figures but getting them on a 40mm base was too time consuming. The tree being gone has made everything here a lot more calm. No worrying and no arguing with Wifetronic.

Nice video James, I am getting ready to paint a mob of those same gauls myself, hope to enjoy them. Yours are a good inspiration. Also, I'm glad to see the tree drama is over. Take care

Thanks, Ginz. I think you'll find them fun to paint. You'll see what a mission they are to base too. I think your brother will be by in about a month for his next beat down. It looks like it will be his early war Fallschirmjager taking on the Greeks. I suggested the Italians invading from Albania, but after I hammered him with inexperienced French in the Alps in June 1940, he retired his Black Shirt. lol

Great work James, the shields are awesome, i wish i could do freehand like that. brilliant. Glad the tree saga has been dealt with

Thanks, Leon. It took me a long time to do the shields and the unit sat half finished for about 6 months. The tartan and shields cause Napoleonic levels of burn out. I'm happy that the tree is gone too. Big relief to my peace of mind.

They look fierce and superb, excellent job!

I am glad the threat to your man cave is removed. The gauls looks nice, i guess they never marched in formation lol. If i would paint any i think i will just make a huge wood base and glue them all on it, seeing how you struggle with bases. I like the gauls captain and Vergitorix. Good luck with your brits para.

These look brilliant mate.😁👍 Always find it hard to paint this type of unit as I don't have the imagination to come up with different coloure for the clothing. Have bad fashion sense as it is, let alone trying to dress 30 gauls 🤣

I have a terrible sense of fashion. lol. I buy a lot of my clothes at the hardware store like the old fart that I am. haha. I randomized their clothes by using three base colors on the 4 models I was doing at the time and then switching it up with the next bunch of models. You find out which tartans/stripes work and which don't pretty quick.

Woah, freehand on all thse shields? Great work man, good job.
