These figures are done by Medbury Miniatures and very nice they are! The owner of these asked me to paint them up as Varangians hence the scarlet colored cloaks and red shields. I chose to vary the tunics and leggings in limited colors as mauve and purple would apply to known Varangian colors with paler cream or white trousers. Medbury Miniatures is worthy to investigate for those who enjoy the dark ages and I plan to add some Carolingian Franks to my hordes from this manufacture as I was really impressed. On a side note the cloaks were painted solely by TT combat paints as I have found both their range of reds (and blues) to be very nice paints that thin down very nicely to layer colors very effectively. They are a brand of paints worth trying that I do recommend.

Very nicely done. That's a new manufacturer to me... presumably based in the UK?
I believe they are an Australian firm. I need to look into them a bit more as they have some Carolingian Frankish figures that look very good. After seeing these miniatures first hand I have no doubt the rest will be as advertised by the pics.
