New year, old army! @northstarfigs.bsky.social Saxons from Crusader. I do love the Crusader ranges. All hand painted shields, went with fairly simple patterns. Lovely minis, work well with my style. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
Happy new year to all my wargaming (and other) friends! Here’s some of this years projects, lots of late Roman and Zone stuff as usual. About 160 minis done this year. Also some commissions! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts #zonaalfa
Did another @northstarfigs.bsky.social Late Roman rider! Just the leader left to finish the unit. Still feels like a chore painting horses. LBMS transfer on the shield with some added weathering. Hope you like him! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
Some more late Romans done. @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social minis except for the Gripping Beast Draco bearer. I hand painted his shield, as I didn’t have a transfer. Hope you like them! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
Sometimes you just need to paint a cloak! Loved working on this Gripping Beast Shaman, he’ll lead my next unit of barbarians. The off white turned out a bit weird in pics. Hope you like him anyway! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
Trying out some new skin recipes. Left is my usual GW, middle is TTC and right is AK. All work okay, what do you think? GW has worst coverage by miles, AK the best. @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
Back in the saddle with more cavalry! The dark one feel a bit meh but I’m closer to getting a unit on the table. Both are @northstarfigs.bsky.social with LBMS transfers. Some added wear and tear as usual. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
I really hate painting horses, but sometimes you have to! Never sure if horses work with my style. Started on a unit of late Roman cavalry from @northstarfigs.bsky.social (Crusader). Hope you like him! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
These guys will gladly throw the first stone! Finished a bunch of slingers for my barbarian army, all are Gripping Beast plastic Dark Age warriors. Maybe looks a bit cramped but happy with them. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
Finished up another unit of late Roman heavy infantry. All are @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social and have LBMS transfers with some added wear and tear. Only one unit of infantry left to do! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
It’s important to rest! Some @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social late Roman infantry taking it easy. LBMS transfers with some added damage. Did these instead of finishing other projects, procrastinating basing for a while. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
These have been basecoated forever, finally got around to finishing them. All @northstarfigs.bsky.social Early Saxons with hand painted shields. Still trying out AK paints, so far I love them. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts
Last day of vacation, did some more @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social late Romans. Always enjoy painting these, soon I’ll have cleared the backlog of Romans! Crazy. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts #nerdlings
Green! Did some more Gripping Beast slingers, this time I’m testing out the AK German Green with some different highlights. Happy with all of them! I’ll try to get some more late Romans done next. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts #nerdlings

Cloaks! Have felt a bit of hobby fatigue lately, but managed to finish up these @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social Late Romans. All with LBMS transfers as I don’t have the skill to pull off man on a stick! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts #nerdlings
Tried my new wash recipe on these slingers from Gripping Beast. Very happy with the results, and some of my best faces in a while. Dark age warriors is still a nice kit. Hope you like them! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts #nerdlings
I’ve finally have done it: I ”created” old school Agrax! Left is Agrax, right is GSW Andalusian plus Black wash ink (2:1). Flows right, stains right, dries matte! More testing needed. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #nerdlings @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social

Some reenacting montage with @tpatricks.bsky.social
Gotta love that #LateRoman aesthetic.

Motivation has been low, I have lots of half finished things on the desk. Decided to get this lone @northstarfigs.bsky.social barbarian done to get somewhere. Feels like I spend too much time on rank and file. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts #nerdlingd
5 reenactors forming a fulkon formation with their shields.
Reenactor (me) with a shield and sword, demonstrating fencing form by hitting a wood post wrapped in rope.
A series of canopies with living history displays including games, writing, medicine, and cooking. In the background a small 20 foot viking boat with the manx flag on its mast.
A Roman wall tent at night furnished with a bed and desk lit by a lantern on the desk. A Berkasovo style Roman ridge helmet with a crest sits on the desk next to the lantern.
Been busy, this past Saturday was the Southern Maryland Celtic festival where we got a good turn out of late antique reenactors. Despite the rain, the crowds were enough to keep me busy with various talks and demos all day.

That way! A leader, not sure if he’s for my late Romans or my barbarians, but a fun guy to paint. I do love painting cloaks! Excellent mini from @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts #nerdlings
My Wolf Tail Commitatus are all done! All hand painted shields, minis from Gripping Beast and @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social. Very happy with them, added some gs tails to some helmets to make them ”wolfy”. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts #nerdlings
Who has an enormous spear and is looking to invade Rome? This guy! A barbarian warlord with helper, both minis are from Gripping Beast. This period is such fun to paint! Mostly done with AK paints. #warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #tts #nerdlings
Repainted a few Gripping Beast plastic late Roman archers, originally painted almost a decade ago. Washed and added my signature highlights to match my current work. Will add some more to the army. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #nerdlings
More hand painted shields! This time a mix of @footsoreminiatures.bsky.social and Gripping Beast, all were a joy to paint. Soon done with the unit! Only a couple of minis to finish. #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #nerdlings
Hope people still like hand painted shields, because I’m at it again! Starting a unit of Wolftail commitatus with these. All are Gripping Beast. A bit unclear details but proud of these. #Warmongers #tts #wepaintminis #wargaming #lateroman #miniaturepainting #28mm #nerdlings
Got some leather work done too, for #LateRoman #Reenactment
