Fimm's painted models

[ManicMan]

also one problem with display pieces too much is the edges.. depends on the sword type, alot didn't have that sharp if at all sharp, blades. Taking something like a Broad sword, you swung with a weight that did the cutting. Compared to a Katana or Tachi (which was what evolved into the Katana around the Kamakura Period) which have 1 shape edge and less weight, more for slashing then hacking.

Yeah I love Tod's stuff. His workshop is somewhere not too far from me I believe, would love to go work with him.

 

[MichaelStockin]

That would be awesome.

 

[Whitehorn]

That case is unreal. You are an inspiration.

 

[Captain Brown]

Quite the display on the previous page.

Cheers,

Back with some more skeletons ahead of a game for BOYL.

More (as always) on the blog.

Very nice. I like the addition of the brighter colours. Bases are also very good.

EDIT - just read the rest of the story over on your blog, what a lovely tail. Top marks to that generous donor!

 

[Brother Meredith]

Very nice! How many more are required to make up the units?
I have some unpainted skelebobs from the Skeleton Horde box set that am sure could give a lick of colour before August?

 

[Fimm McCool]

There are a LOT of skeletons in those photos, maybe as many as 150! Any extras you can supply would be very welcome!

Would these be any use for you ?

Got 5 cavalry as well.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Yes please if you're happy to loan them. I know how fragile they can be! Probably don't need the cavalry, but the infantry would be a great help.

You not gonna be at BOYL? I don't want to risk these fine fellows in the post.

No and its fine they were just sitting in a box getting dusty so would rather risk them and know they had a chance of getting to BOYL

I like the skeletons very much. Are the colors meant to represent Stirland? Thank you for sharing.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Nah, I don't give a stuff about GW lore. They're just the colours the plastic skeletons have in the 3rd ed rulebook photos I am recreating.

Hard to tell from the pictures how many are in the units, but am sure you have scrutinised them to death!

I have x18 skeletons with hand weapons and shields, x5 grim reapers, and x5 with spears.

Will see how I get on with other minis for BOYL and quickly slap some paint & base these chaps if I can.
