Irish and Saxons

Painted up a set of 8 Irish Warriors:

 And 8 more Late Saxons:
That's the lot of the recent buys,  most of the "To Be Painted" left are Sci-Fi, or stuff given or awarded me, so there's no compelling need to do them yet.

I also took all my recent paints, and my box of chain-mail knights, Norman footmen, and all my wizards and gave them the "Magic Dip".   It really improves the half-naked Irishmen and the wizards in light colored robes considerably, but helps all of them a bit, bringing out beard and cloth texture really well.

Late Saxons/Danes

I painted a dozen Late Saxons or Danes whom I ordered when I chickened out of going to Cold Wars because of the Zeeker virus. 

First:  some hero/leader types
Second:  English Fyrd (Militia)
Both batches should be good for our 5 Torches Deep campaign

Medieval Inn or Manor House

Finished painting the Medieval Inn (which could equally be used for an unfortified manor house) that I ordered way back in March.

I'm thinking it might be a good HQ for the upcoming 5TD campaign.

I say I'm finished, but it's a little maddening, whenever I touch up the beige, it leaks onto the brown, and vice versa, I just ended up with a big "close-enough" moment and called it done.
