Medieval Soldiers (5 of 5) - Maroon/Brown Team
Finally, the Maroon/Brown Team and their friends appear. As might be obvious, there's more than just the ten members of a Shieldball team here. The maroon and brown color scheme was chosen because it was generic and fast. Both colors only require one layer of paint for decent coverage. Thus, there's enough for bandits, mercenaries, or other folks.
I did most of this color scheme after doing all of the others, so the increase of skill is sometimes fairly evident. Particularly, the faces on some of these archers, along with their poses, are pretty nice. My favorite among them is probably the archer second from the right.
Here are the traditional three spearmen and two skirmishers. The brown gives their outfits the look of solid leather armor, which is both functional and fashionable.
Two heavies and three crossbowman. This team has plenty of everything.
Finally, a group of more unusual fellows. As noted, this color scheme was meant for generic soldiers for pretty much any game system. So here we have a fellow with a sword and a bow, along with four guys with a single hand weapon each, and two thieves/assassins in the back with just a dagger each. All together, I have enough of this color for most skirmish games, with enough variety to cover most available units. Specifically, there are plenty of guys for most configurations of a Frostgrave warband
This ends the medieval soldiers series! On to more recent miniatures next time.
