Blue, White, Orange and Whoops!

I am a bit knackered today but decided to paint something.

As the civilians and guards were Undercoated then they seemed suitable.

Well off I set…

Did a few civilians in the blue then decided as the blue was out already went for Lady Merron’s guards as these are quartered blue and white. I did the female guard first, then did everyone else the other way around…. I did swear a bit!

Typical that these are the off white undercoat, but as it is just her (oh and part of one leg on another) I will just use white…

Knights Done

I ran 7 hours of moving and handling training today so was a bit zonked. I did manage to get the knights finished off…

As you can see from the first pic, it is always a good idea to check both sides before deciding they are painted.

My Temu order arrived, cheapskate I know, but ..

Anyway I got a tiny mitre block that was 3D printed and sadly it is a bit warped…

It’s really hard to photograph a curve, to make it look like one so I grabbed the straightest thing I could find. I have shoved it under something heavy to try and flatten it out. It was dirt cheap so not stressing too much

I ordered some cheap stuff for my course which begins in a month!

Halt!

“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.

Battlefield Looters?

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.

Even more Civilians

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.

Next…

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.

Muddy Streets

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.

Done and Dusted

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.
