Well I have received my trade package of Britanan and Orcnar forces for Relics. Work has begun feverishly preparing, basing and priming them this week. Blocking in the base colours has begun and I just need to do another coat of red on them all and tidy up 3-4 of them.
My reinforcement column has been despatched from Tor Gaming so should be with me any day. I've got the Dragoons prepared and have converted a couple to make them more different. (these have only the two bodies and with two different rear ends its a bit restrictive with just swapping arms over especially when there are 6 in a full unit.
Based and Primed this Is what I plan to have finished by end of February (maybe the dragoons but we'll see).
Addition of a sword in scabbard to this Company Sergeant Major makes him stand out more as a character than just the rifle.
Can't see it really in this pic the have different rears and the left arms are different with the right hand side one receiving a spare arm from the Royal Arcanum Guard I had finished already. It looks more like he is holding it.
Rather than having lots of sword armed dragoons (there are a shooting hit and run type unit.) I decided to convert another one with a carbine but holding it differently. So I decided to have a go at sculpting on replacement arms. The guns are spare from the Company Sergeant Majors weapons choices. Just with there connection pip removed and a hole drilled in.
Arms now added.
The four finished dragoons. The one with the new arms has had cuffs added. Next step with them is to file down the arms and smooth them out a bit more.
They're weird models, but it looks as if you're making good progress on them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colgar. I suppose it depends on your own tastes as to whether you find them weird or not. They are different certainly my kids think they are cute :D
DeleteThey look very nice indeed indeed Simon. I really like the black hats with red jackets. Love your WIP shots and these are looking very good indeed. Very impressed you're tackling so many at once as well... I just can't seem to do that.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Simon. Its a new thing to be doing so many at once. But seeing as how they mostly share the same colours it seems like the sensible thing to do. But ask me that in a week or two when there finished lol
DeleteNice woŕk Simon, especially your converting. I must admit to not being a big fan of the minis, they are a little too weird for my tastes. Great to see some WIP shots though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob. I suppose its what people are into I have widened my projects and choices recently.
DeleteI'm glad you're enjoying this project so much and I do like to see the progress you're making on these very unusual figures. Keep up the good work, Simon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan there a lot of fun to do and surprisingly easy to paint.
DeleteNice conversion work Simon :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin I'm quite please. I'm tempted to do a second unit with spears. Just need to source the parts.

DeleteThis is another fantastic project mate, and gives me encouragement to tackle some Relics of my own later this year.
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see what you are doing with these. Well done sir. :)
such naughty little devils they are
ReplyDeleteNice work on the new faction; love the new banner too!
ReplyDeleteThe conversions look very good Simon.
ReplyDeleteThey are weird, but that's not a bad thing I reckon. Very nice conversion/sculpting on these, Simon.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress and they look soo cute!
