This 28mm figure is the second of four that I purchased a little while ago from Gripping Beasts, the first being the “Legendary Viking Warlord – Ragnar Lothbrok, King of Sweden & Norway” which featured in a post a few weeks ago.
I’ve got a few things on the go in respect of vignettes and dioramas at present, including the May Challenge. Nothing too grand but they do require drying and “next step inspiration time” and while I’m waiting for the next light bulb moment I thought I would fill the gap with some quick win figure painting rather than sit idle. As consequence you now get to look at a Carolingian Warlord.
I like the quality of these figures from Gripping Beast as well as the historical era and it’s an interesting diversion from things I have done of late. I still have a couple more figures from this period to do and will doubtless post details of these in due course. I shall also take a closer look are what else this era has to offer.

Very nice work once again. I love your basing, and the green cloak in particular has a great finish.

Yep, a nice figure! A range of colours there, but all mixing well! I especially like the way the armour has come out!

Thanks John. I think this is an era I might well dabble with a bit more. I like the range of colours you can use, a nice change from drab military colours, and the figures themselves are lovely castings.

Very nice- wish my Dark Ages/ Early Medieval stuff looked that good. You’ve got a dark moody feel that I’ve always liked in figures.
Cheers,
Pete.

Thank you. I will certainly do some more that’s for sure and from what I’ve discovered there appears to be plenty of figures out there to chose from.

Really nice. I like the armor, and the shield is great. From the wood underside to the weathering on the front of it. Pretty cool!

Thank you. I’m working on a few other Dark Age models at the moment and just ordered some Norman knights too. I just love the scope of this hobby and the inspiration that comes from fellow bloggers such as yourself, there ae just so many models and periods to chose from.
