Sheep for Saga

Baaa

I wanted to add some more dark age flavour to my table and also have some kind of objectives for a raid type scenario.  Being the dark ages livestock seemed the obvious choice.  Gripping Beast had a nice set of Manx Langton sheep under their livestock range.  The good thing is that Manx Langton sheep are still around so google images provides an easy way to get painting reference shots.

The sheep are usually white with dark brown faces.  The young are quite dark going on black all over.  I also painted one of the adult sheep non white to break up the look of the group.

I based the sheep into pairs so I would have three bases of sheep.  I used the 40mm Renedra bases which was then covered in my standard rock mix and painted the same as I do my figures.  Now it's time for the Vikings to chase some sheep...
