Crusader Miniatures Dark Age Irish Champion

Status: SOLD for £10.49 

A while ago I painted a Munster army led by Brian Boru, I used Crusader miniatures for the most part,lovely figures,well sculpted, with some real character. This model of a Champion was one of the left overs, so I finished him and placed him on ebay.
The  Curadh were the tribal Champions,some of the greatest warriors in a tribal army, this one has two weapons and chainmail armour ready to lead his kings men in to battle.

I have given him tattoos on his legs and arms.
