A Few 28mm Ancients

While rebasing my Gallic army last month, I realized that I could use some more command stands.  These twelve Old Glory figures came off the painting desk last week.





I also needed two more German cavalry to make up a full twelve man unit.  These are from Gripping Beast, I think.  Has Gripping Beast retired a bunch of their ancients ranges?  I looked for their Germans, Celts, and Romans, but I could not find them on the Gripping Beast website.

    1. Thanks, Peter! The shield designs are LBM transfers, but I do have fun making them blend.

  2. Excellent command stands and cavalry! GB have withdrawn some of their ancient ranges but have rereleased others.

    1. I wish they would bring them back! I especially liked their Celts and Marian Romans. It looks like they are focused on Saga now: everything is late Rome through the early Middle Ages.

    1. Thank you! It has been a long time since I painted any 28mm ancients, and I was worried I would be rusty.

    1. It would be nice to get them on the table. Maybe I should rebase my late-republican Romans next.

    1. I don't know about magic, but I do enjoy painting those sculpts. I have always thought the Old Glory Gauls look the part.

  7. I'm someone who has lived a life seemingly in the background, I must say this final indignity I have suffered almost too much to endure. You see, I have been sickly and weak since the day I was born and doomed to go through my life weakling. I seemed to have always suffered from one illness or another and could never play with the other children as I so desperately wanted to. Mother always made such a big fuss over me, also, making the situation worse as the other boys teased me mercilessly after they saw it. I was browsing  the internet searching on how I could be transformed into a powerful person when I came across the email of a man named Lord Mark. who was a VAMPIRE so I told him that I has always dreamed of becoming a  VAMPIRES, All i did was just to follow the procedure that i was been told, and i bet you that procedure I took change my entire life to something i ever desire, freedom, sickness free, pains free, fame, influence, connections and even more that i can. Thanks to Lord Mark. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Vampirelord7878@gmail.com
