The next phase of the medieval adventure will be a force of Hussites. Below at the first few warriors of God.

July was medieval madness. I pushed through a host of figures to form a generic base for 13th century European armies (or Crusaders. Usable for Saga Age of Crusades or Baron’s Wars. They have their own page here now.
I finished my generic force of the Greek Cities in Saga Age of Alexander. They now have their own page here.
The final additions where a set of hoplites, peltasts and a warlord.
I am expanding into the Age of Alexander, starting with some “generics”, Three units of levy with bows, slings and javelins, as well as some Thureophoroi, Thorakitai, and Theban Sacred Band. The actual hoplites will come later, I promise!
My quest to finish my 1st edition backlog has come to a close. Below the Norse-Gael, Welsh, and (small) Scots contingent. All done for Age of Vikings now!
I had a burst of energy to paint all my left-over figures for Saga Age of Vikings. These are joining armies painted ~15 years ago so I had to match my paint style of that time. While painting these, I realized that I had been misinterpreting the Gripping Beast plastic shields as “rimmed” shields. Instead, I think they are meant to represent shield covers stretched over the entire shield front and secured in the back. Armed with that knowledge, I of course absolutely had to repaint all of the shields in my Saga collection! Each shield had the edges painted to extend the colour scheme of the original transfer. Fiddly work but satisfying.
First the new additions: Various legenday warlords, Jomsvikings with and without Dane Axes, Jomsviking Dreng, and assorted add-ons to existing units.
The old figures with repainted shields:
Just for comparison, this is how the shields used to look:
Over the last few weeks I have been painting an Ordenstaat force for Saga. These are the Teutonic Knights who invaded Prussia and gradually displaced the native tribes. Still missing the knightly cavalry, but there is a decent foot force done.
The medieval Scots are joining my collection. I still need to paint some men-at-arms but a horde of pikemen are ready for duty.
This also concluded 2025 for me as I am off for a trip. The year so 2,092 figures getting painted with my Napoleonics (1,306) and Saga Age of Chivalry (677) making up the bulk of new additions. I have another ~600 Prussians to paint for Waterloo – then ~5k French later. For Saga, it is now on to the Age of Crusades where ~400 figures away on assembly strips. Add a few extra projects and that will make for a delightful 2026.
Over the last little while I painted some old boxes of Conquest Norman figures for a warband purchased over a decade ago. Working down the mountain…
Finished up some mercenaries. Irish Kern and Gallowglasses, Stradioti riders for the Condottieri.
