Scourge of God

A new series of posts starts with these pictures of recently based Huns from Gripping Beast's Steppe Nomads range.


This series will plot the progress of two armies in two different scales linked by the common theme of horse archers.


The first army is the Huns for DBA and ADLG in 28mm with figures entirely from Gripping Beast. The second army is the Mongols for both DBA and ADLG in 15mm with figures from Museum Miniatures. Both very similar in nature although the Huns offer more detail and basing opportunities due to the larger scale.


Currently working on the horses for the Huns as a separate project broken down into different categories by horse colour as below:



The list is from a Trello card and finding this app very useful in tracking larger projects like the Huns and Gondor Rampant. 

After the horse-flesh tones are completed it will be on to the trappings for the horses and then basing and finishing. The riders will follow as a separate project split by light, medium, heavy and command stands. Hoping to complete the entire army for spring 2021 or earlier if at all possible. 

Cheers for now

Great plan, I look forward to seeing it. Btw have you spruced up/ changed the look of your blog ( probably did it ages ago and I never noticed) it look great.

Lovely work and I do like a list, always very satisfying when you complete something.

Nice and interesting project. Looking good.

Never heard of the 'Trello Card' app, sounds useful.
