“Madam, Yes you with the Fish! Halt and explain yourself! My men are armed and ….I said HALT….Bugger! Unfortunately the last words of Guard Captain Fishwife. A poor name in the circumstances

The last civilian and five guards from the sprues. For some of the guards I mixed in bits from the sergeants sprue and also gave the female one flowing locks from the civilian set.

Now I think I still have more civilians and definitely have more guards to go. I will build them once this lot are painted.

I also have five sergeants and a knight left to build too.

As I needed to have a bit of a snooze this afternoon I decided to stay up late and make some more civilians.

I started with the gentleman and thought about him being a bit of a tinker or something but then I saw the weapon roll and the looter was born. His wife followed suit with her ‘found’ sword and a bag of coins she just happened to find along a track.

Got one lady left to build and then onto the five guards.

So left to right:

An enchantress?

Beggar, maybe, but definitely down on his luck.

A lady with a purposeful stride and an interesting sack of something.

A woodcutter? Body from Traitor’s Toll, arms and head from the militia/foot sergeant set.

Finally a youngish lady who seems to be carrying nothing.

More Civilians!

Well I couldn’t find my super thick Sharpie so was going to give up on models tonight. Then I remembered I could build some.forgit to bring my knife with me and sadly my snips let me down. Once the glue has fully cured I will get the lumps and bumps cleaned off.

The two males are a mix of Traitor’s Toll and the militia sprue. They go together nicely.

Tomorrow I shall make another few. Five female and three male civilians and then five guards.

Well this evening I got on and painted the bases using Greenstuff World Skeleton Brown.

Tomorrow I will get the rims painted.

Oh I will need to get the gesticulating archer’s skin painted.

I also need to finish the knights on the flank.

Yeah I am just about done with the guards.

Everything is painted apart from the bases. These haven’t been done yet as the ground texture paste is still wet.

As you can see I also added the paste to the  knights as I had it open. Sadly I couldn’t be arsed to get it on the civilians.

Well I decided that not being arsed wasn’t good enough, so I kicked said arse and got the paste onto the civilian bases.

Some straps and belts to do as well as facial hair and the usual unfinished base.

This evening I worked on my guards. Metal and skin left to do I believe…

A little scamp informs the guards what he thinks about the proclamation regarding an increase in taxes.

I’ll carry on with these tomorrow.
