Painted Runestones
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2019 11:22 am
The ancients liked colour. Dyes and paints were a luxury, especially so for the most vibrant ones. Rather much of the finer ancient stoneworks were decorated with at least some spots of colour in their heyday. I think we as wargaming hobbyists can sympathize with this: Would you rather have grey plastic or a painted army?
Here are some painted runestones (originals and replicas alike), to replicate how they might have looked like:
Ölsta Stone
Jelling Stone
Uncovered in S:t Paul's Churchyard, London
From a festival, check out IlmarinenKowal's gallery
Just something to keep in mind for scenery and Hold Guardian painting.
