Javelinmen, Staff Slingers, Dwarf Puppeteer, Chaplains, and a Maniac

Hello,

I've managed to finish a small unit of javelinmen for a Byzantine or El Cid army.  The models were sold by Battle Honors as Spanish javelinmen, but they'll do fine as Byzantine skirmishers.


The spears are floral wire dipped in paint.




Not a very good paint job, I wish Battle Honors ancients were still available so I could try again.



Here's three Old Glory staff slingers.  There's a dwarf who appears to be doing a puppet show, but I think he's an old Ral Partha dwarf or gnome illusionist.  The guy on the right is an old Grenadier Fantasy Wars town guard model.

There's only two pictures, because the rest were very blurry.

Here's two atrociously painted Rogue Trader era space marine Chaplains and a model from Fantasy Flight's Mansions of Madness.



I used Wargames Factory bits for his victims.



Whatever it is space marines wear on their back/back pack, one is missing.



Next week I hope to have a pack of Napoleonic French infantry.  Here I am hard at work prepping models.




Love,
Baconfat

  3. Great looking figures. I especially like the murderer. I'm curious how you took that last picture since I'm pretty sure I see two hands holding the sprue and clippers. Perhaps that's how you get so much painting done. An extra hand.

  5. You clearly go to great lengths to get realistic blood spatters on your figures. The dwarf is a standard bearer from the Ral Partha Collectors Series range....great paint job.

  6. Wonderful, I really enjoy your posts as I'm never sure what we will get. Love the sprue cutting at the end - very gruesome.

    1. Your blog is the opposite, I know what I'm going to get, quality. I return because your site is always top notch, not random stupidness.

  9. Lovely work as always, James. Particularly like that dwarf puppeteer. BTW, did the superglue work on the putting the fingers back on?

    1. Super glue reattached the fingers, but it's going to take some green stuff to make them look right again.
