Just the briefest of posts this morning to showcase the other half of the Clubmen pack from 'Warlord Games'. As mentioned before they were not the best of miniatures to prepare, but ultimately the investment in preparation time resulted in some wonderfully characterful sculpts to paint up.
I perhaps should have mentioned previously that these miniatures come with an assortment of tools and implements to act as weapons so plenty of scope for conversions. I like that the idea that these tough, toiling sons of the earth would not have had access to military grade hardware, instead choosing to pick up the fist 'pointy' thing hat came to hand, consequently I went for a rusted look, with a freshly honed edge - perfect for dispatching those denizens of the night. I hope to have some 'Redoubt Enterprises' clubmen to show in comparison soon, they are just applying their make up before their turn in the photographic studio!
Excellent work, Michael.
ReplyDeleteVery characterful sculpts which you brought out perfectly.
Cheers
Stefan
These (and the ones you've shown before) are very nice figures. You've done a very expressive job on them. It's nice to see pitchforks and billhooks being put to good use.
ReplyDeleteYou peasant mod is coming along nicely. I expect they will need a few more torches then to wait for dusk before storming the local castle! Very characterful and great additions.
ReplyDeleteOppsie YOUR peasant MOB

ReplyDeleteThose guys are great Michael
ReplyDeleteThese look really top notch Michael
ReplyDeleteMost impressive guys Michael, as always!
ReplyDeletereally good as usual!
ReplyDeletewell done.

The rusted effect is very impressive. Did you use pigment, or regular dry-brushing?
ReplyDeleteMore great work! The rock throwing youth is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteFantastic work, yet again!
ReplyDeleteLovely set of boyos!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour scheme as always, which brought their expressions to life!
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking characters - loads of trouble for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry what club do they belong to again the South Warlords? Just the sort of salt of the earth chaps to see of a couple of Witchfinder pedos! Sorry I guess you can tell my allegiance falls on the side of the witches. Lovey painting the weapons have that stored in the leaky shed but still in use look.
ReplyDeleteVery nice painting work. Some figures from Warlord (a lot of them, in fact) are not very good, but your painting has made them really nice.
ReplyDeleteNicely done once again Michael, very good job on the rusted metals!
ReplyDeleteVery nice paintjob once again!
ReplyDeleteAnd true Warlord minis can be a pain to clean up. Massive amounts of flash and other things to clean up to counter the fact that they do have some very nice sculpts and poses in the different ranges. Same with Perry stuff too. Seems that the best sculpts are the worst cast then :)
A lovely group with a fantastic paint job.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteNow these are some mean looking bastards. So mission accomplished I think. Love the attention t detail you put into these chaps.
ReplyDeleteGreat work indeed my good man!!
ReplyDeleteCracking brushwork mate. I particularly like the rusted effect on the metal.
ReplyDeleteGreat work there Michael and I love the kid/young man throwing the stone. Nice use of colour too
ReplyDeleteReally like these fellows! Like Millsy said, the rust effect on the weapons is used to great effect.
ReplyDeleteSuper job Michael!
ReplyDeleteLooking good and full of character!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
Very nice bunch of murderous yokels you have there, Sir!
ReplyDeleteI must concur with my blolleague on the matter of rust effects.
And will we be seeing an AAR in the near future perchance...?
Lovely sculpts and an even better paintjob.
ReplyDeletereally good work, good choice of weapons
