Painted Gallowglass

June 9, 2024

The Gallowglass and kerns from Flags of War are also painted up with Jon Hodgson’s awesome backdrops in use again. The wee bits of terrain are a mix of homemade, Vae Victus 3D prints and a 3D-printed high cross from Govan Parish Church in Glasgow I captured using photogrammetry.

Unfortunately, I don’t think any of my ancestors were Gallowglass so went for the Green colouring with yellow/white accents on them which would be good for either MacSweeneys or McCabes. My lot, the McKinstrys, is a bit of an Irish name now but originally was from Galloway, Scotland. So I reckon we were probably the Broken Men, dodgy clanless outlaws, who got rounded up and kicked out of Scotland by James the VI and I. I got those miniatures from Flags of War’s last Kickstarter. They’re made up and primed though not sure if I’ll get them done by the end of June.
