Another little set of figures that have been lurking on the periphery of the paint queue. This time from 'Wargames Foundry' and reassuringly 'chunky' compared to the more elegant sculpts that I'm used to form 'Empress Miniatures'. That said, they are a rather lovely, characterful set, great for tabletop dressing but probably rather limited in a game scenario.

ReplyDeleteGreat figs! You could always have them carrying essential supplies and need to be protected during the game
Great idea, thank you!
DeleteGreat painted figures, you could have spare figures with guns to represent them fighting when attacked......
ReplyDeleteAnd another great idea, thanks Fran.
DeleteNice characterful figs could use them for some pulp gaming as well. Top Paintjobs to boot. There obviously chunkier for all that lifting they've been doing!
ReplyDeleteReally nice paint job on some cool figures.

Superb paint job. I don't have enough figures in shirtsleeves so I think I will have to invest in some of these. The blue/grey on the shirts look spot on, what colours/paints did you use if you don't mind me asking?

Silver Whistle, thank you Sir. I've been using more and more Vallejo Model colour of late. These were done with a base of 'Dark Blue Grey' and then mixes of the original colour with the following as highlights, 'Light Sea Grey' and 'Stone Grey'.
DeleteI see them building that barricade at "Rorke's Drift", with that strong sergeant carrying two bags!
ReplyDeleteWonderfull painted figures!

Absolutely, exactly who I was thinking of too.
DeleteGreat painting on these. I could do with some too. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteExcellent figures. I always think it's little extras like these that really add to the visual appeal of a game.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the detail, you just forced me to push these up the painting list.

Thank you all for the positive comments, there is something about the short sleeves that captures the sense of toil and duty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and there's your crew for putting together those mealie bags there.
ReplyDeleteGreat set and some superb painting on them. I like those a lot. It's always nice to see something different here.
ReplyDeleteNice minis & great paint job. Always fun to have 'atmosphere' minis, not just the minimum needed for a fight.
