Civs 6mm Adventures - Ancient Germans
Some living research
So i happen to be at a history festival over the weekend and apart from the sunburn came away with some pictures of Celts vs Romans. Now whilst they are not quite the Germanic warriors im trying to represent on the table top it gave me a good idea of the types of weapons and clothing the people of the time wore and some of the colours i could use.
I felt at one point i may have taken too much artistic license to the models and made them waaay more colourful than they should realistically be (this wouldnt have stopped me but its nice to know). Luckily after speaking to some of the reinactors they produced a basket of various bits of wool dyed in the colours available at the time and my god was there a lot of bright colours in there. Feeling satisfied i could carry on with my colour mad Germanic warband i went home to paint up some more.
