Finished at last! All hand painted shields, all Gripping Beast, and probably the unit I’m most proud of so far. I always enjoy painting minis by Colin Patten, these late Romans are no exception! #Warmongers #wepaintminis #wargaming #tts #miniaturepainting #lateroman #28mm #nerdlings - ThreadSky

Hand painted shields like that! Absolute mad lad. These guys are aces!

mammamattsson.bsky.social•208 days ago

Cheers! This is what happens when you buy the wrong size decals!

marcosplace.bsky.social•208 days ago

What sort of year/decade would you pitch these lads? Or possibly lasses 😉

mammamattsson.bsky.social•208 days ago

All my late Roman stuff are meant to fit somewhere between 400-500 AD, but as usual I’m taking some liberties with shield designs and such.

marcosplace.bsky.social•208 days ago

I was thinking shields!

Fabulous figures 👏 I love looking a stuff like this. But I have no patience to make!

dicedad.bsky.social•208 days ago

Very nice indeed 👌

mammamattsson.bsky.social•207 days ago

Cheers Dad, got more late Romans coming soon👍

toxteth2112.bsky.social•208 days ago

Those are beautiful. Love the look of late Roman infantry

mammamattsson.bsky.social•208 days ago

Thanks! Not much that beats the feel of late Romans. Got some more on the table👍

Lovely looking unit, those shields are very nice!

mammamattsson.bsky.social•207 days ago

Thanks Steve, glad you like them!

philmackie.bsky.social•208 days ago

Smashing work. I love the hand painted shields as it adds a degree of realism that isn’t there with the cookie-cutter transfers.

mammamattsson.bsky.social•208 days ago

Thanks, I agree, it does give the unit a realistic and more uniform feel. My style can look a bit strange with transfers.

andreasefternamn.bsky.social•208 days ago

Hand painted?! Madness!
They look fantastic!

mammamattsson.bsky.social•208 days ago

Yes.. It’s definitely madness! Thanks a lot, very happy with them.

You should be mate. They're smashing

asheepie.bsky.social•208 days ago

Bloody hell, those are good, esp the work on the shields

mammamattsson.bsky.social•207 days ago

Thanks! Happy with them but won’t be doing any chi rhos for a while!

battlebrushstudios.bsky.social•208 days ago

Job's a good'un.😎 I really like the texture on the clothes and the stretchy folds on the shields. Excellent stuff.

mammamattsson.bsky.social•208 days ago

Thanks🙂 These minis work well with the MammaMattsson style™️, I’ve always loved the Colin Patten way of doing cloth.

nurglesrotisserie.bsky.social•207 days ago

They look amazing 😍

mammamattsson.bsky.social•207 days ago

Thanks a lot! I very much enjoy painting this range.

Beautiful!

mammamattsson.bsky.social•208 days ago

Thank you! Got some more late Romans on the table, we’ll see if I hand paint the shields.

megaslippers.net•208 days ago

I hope you do, the shields look _amazing_.

countbelisarius.bsky.social•208 days ago

Those are splendid. Hand painted shields always look great. Very nicely done.

mammamattsson.bsky.social•207 days ago

Thanks CB, it takes time but I’m always happy with hand painted shields when done.
