Bogenwald

Yep, this lot just need the base edges painted black and the flags shoved on and that’s them finished.

Then the remaining miniatures when they arrive.

I will flock them all together rather than in two bits.

Now I still have one base sitting there with Two of the three miniatures glued on. I realised there was a load of flash that still needed removing… I then noticed something odd on the back of the miniatures…

I checked the others still in the white metal stage.

They pretty much all look like this…

Sadly the other ones in the same pose  in the mercenary unit  and in this lot have the undercoat on and then have been painted. I can just about see the pattern on the banner holder.

I can honestly say I have never seen anything like this on miniatures before… Well this isn’t exactly true as I see it occasionally on 3D printed stuff.

Now I am not saying that these are printed then moulded, but I wonder if there has been some form of vibration as they were spun cast. As I have said before these are probably the worst miniatures with regards to flash and vent nubs/wires.

Well this evening I got the pikes done as well as the majority of the metal stuff on the miniatures.

Still to do is the bronze bits for the swords and trumpet as well as the colourful sash on the officer.

Then onto the bases….

Oh and as I expected… My extra miniatures were posted today lol.

I had better speed up lol!

I need to sort out more flags for the above and the extras… I reckon 6-8 will do me.

Well this morning before breakfast I got all of their hands and faces painted…

Weapons, boots and helmets left to do.

Trying to work out what colour to do the pikes. Probably just a plain wood colour, I am thinking, as befits a militia armed by a city state. They really aren’t going to be splashing out the gold on what is basically a pointy stick.

Hopefully I will get on with more painting later on.
