I have painted the horde of Celtic warriors that I have been
dreading. Friends have asked why I dislike painting the Gauls? Firstly, both their
shields and fabrics are multicoloured with a variety of stripes, cheques,
plaids and borders; a real pain to paint. Secondly, based on my experience of
Lancashire Games Spanish foot, the range of figure poses and variants may be
limited.
I discounted the second reason immediately I opened the
package; there were at least 12 different figure sculpts and Lancashire Games
supplied 80 figures instead of the expected 60! I was well chuffed! Painting did
prove a strain. I decided to paint them as a single batch and by halfway I was regretting
the decision. Once completed, I think I
am happy with their appearance and would highly recommend others to consider
Lancashire Games if interested in building a Gallic army.
The end is in sight for my Punic War armies. Next a batch of
Gallic cavalry, then Generals and elephants!
