A few early and late night painting sessions at the start of the week has enabled me to get all the cultists done for my Children of the Fields Cast. The four hooded types are Crooked Dice as is the Sinister Mystic in the centre who comes from Villains 1 pack.
The four bearded fellows with various vintage firearms are by Westwind in their Empire of the Dead Brotherhood range. I had these left over after selling on most of my collection lurking in a box I found. Seeing the variety of older weapons I thought the would fit in with the background for Winterly being isolated and behind the times.
The Villagers sadly are going to have to wait I think now as one nights this week and two next week are being taken up with High School open evenings that we need to go to. My eldest Daughter Carmen has got to decide which one she will goto next year when she finishes Year 6. Crikey that has gone way to quick!!
I am glad to get these done but am fed up of painting green for a bit!
Brotherhood with guns. Love the Blunderbuss and Volleygun armed ones.
The faces on these where really nice to paint. the hair surrounding the faces on some are a nice touch if a little bit tricky to paint.
The Whole cast so far. Up next I am going to try and tackle the Strawman he as been primed, basecoated and just been drowned in AP Strong tone once thoroughly dried lots of drybrushing is to be done.
Very nicely done, very impressive mate. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much dude. :)
DeleteThose look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCheers James! Welcome!
DeleteAnd very nice they look too, Simon.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Ray!
DeleteGreen is an unusual colour choice, red white purple and black seem to be the most popular, so well done for being different :) These are looking very nice, and the hairy faces might be a bit of a pain to paint but they do add character
ReplyDeleteThanks very much sir! Yeah I wanted them to have a bit more druidy feel to them with all the sort of natural creatures and things.
DeleteI have to agree with what Vagabond said - it's a nice change to see green-robed cultists.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. I am pleased with the look of the whole cast now.
DeleteGoodness, you are just razzing through these and they look ace. Keep up the good work mate!
ReplyDeleteCheers Dai. Can't beat a deadline to motivate. Though I am sure this will only last so long lol!
DeleteStunning group in green!
ReplyDeleteCheers Dean!
DeleteWhat a great band!
ReplyDeleteFantastic paint work Simon!
Thanks very much Michal glad you like them :)
DeleteThe cast look sinister and fearsome. A real Green menace. I really like the idea of doing more with English folklore.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clint it really is quite interesting looking up the inspiration for some of the characters in this programme guide.
DeleteGreat work on the cultists Simon, like the colour choices they work very well together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. I was tempted to add a white trim but not sure.
DeleteI agree the green is a rip roaring success.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Phil. They are more popular than I thought :)
DeleteCOIL! Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteYes indeed they could work well for those to!
DeleteThe minis look great!
ReplyDeleteWhichever school you choose, maybe Carmen could help you with grammar.
“My daughter and us.” Good grief man!
😜
Thanks.
DeleteWhat can I say I enjoyed reading but hated English at school.
Loving the green robes on the cultists, all that red is a bit boring!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy. There will be some red ones at some point maybe with a bit of black in there. They will for my Shiva cast and probably Pulp gaming.
DeleteHEy, nice looking guys, the green is quite a refreshing change from the usual stuff
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber. So it seems :) Glad you like the look of them.
DeleteNice work.
ReplyDeleteCheers very much MBG!
DeleteI do like seein ghow folk paint up their cultists and you've done a great job on these; very good to see the unusual green choice of colour.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe I felt green was the right colour for this folklore themed cast.
DeleteI will have some more traditional type ones at some point.
A well painted fanatical lot!
ReplyDeleteTa very muchly!
