I decided it would be a good time to paint a few more figures. Since I had recently seen some unpainted 25mm Garrison medieval figures when looking for something else, and there were two votes for the Gathering of Hosts, I decided to dig them out.
Hmm, not here......Hmm, Hmm, not there, what about in here... Oh look! ....I'd forgotten that I still had a dozen of these to paint..... Well, might as well paint a few more of them, and then, maybe a few more, or at least fix a few of the veterans, dropped pikes etc.
Of course, the new lads will have to see the Woolly Mammoth. (Well, no elephants in Scotland were they?).

I guess Rough Wooing is up next after all, but north of the border, not across the channel.

It will be well worth our wait.
ReplyDeleteI await the woolly mammoth with excitement.

Uhoh.........'Na gruagach mohr' was slain by a series of catapult bolts 3 years ago. I'll have to see if there were any offspring grown up and trained to fight along side the tribesmen.
DeleteVery nice 40mm figures Ross.
ReplyDeleteI second Alan's remark, especially about the mammoths
Double Uhoh. I've been thinking vaguely that the next GofH would see the Federation launching a retaliatory raid into the Midlish Kingdom. (See https://gatheringofhosts.blogspot.com/2024/02/they-shall-not-pass.html )
DeleteI'll have to think about setting and scenario.
If not an elephant, perhaps the Pictish Beast? It does appear to me to be a folk memory of something with a trunk. But it's only a metaphorical pachyderm in this context, and the casting and painting of metaphors is always optional.
