sewers.of.estark’s armies & warbands

[sewers.of.estark]

Really like the red/purple/orange combination. For something new, I am already thinking about where I could use that ...

Thanks KingOfTheLeadPile, glad you like it! Hope to see what you end up using it for!!

 

[sewers.of.estark]

looks like it's going to be a fearsome herd.

Thanks twisted moon! Unfortunately only three beastmen left to go for this warband, as I sold off the rest of my slotta beastmen a few years ago when I decided to focus on collecting preslotta miniatures.

Like the pallet looks especially good on the Minotaur real red beef.

Thanks Inchmurrin, I appreciate the kind words

 

[sewers.of.estark]

Here are the last few beastmen that will complete the warband,

C27 Shearmone with a replacement blade, will be used as the champion of this horde.


C27 Ruttrot


C27 Kollbag


And a photo of the completed warband

lovely stuff. they look very distinctive.

Very nice, I do like the cohesive palette you've chosen. I've always liked that minotaur, it is a grand model. Looks good in deep red/orange.

Definitely a lovely sculpt but I am a sucker for minotaurs!

I started this year off by painting a small warband of bandits and ruffians, I’ve decided after painting my “town guard” to keep adding to my band of cutthroats and use them as a militia unit along with the guards. Eventually that means I’ll need to pick up more empire sprues to build up some bigger units.

For the time being I’ve got a decent stash of c46 militia and other thug-like characters. Starting off is my first attempt at the color scheme in almost a year, and also my entry for the golden gobbo.

Unlisted C46 militia


I’ve also gone back and photographed each of the individual bandits from my first attempt.

CH6 92-10 Chaos Thug Rivet


CH7 03 Chaos Thug Spikehead


F4 M-06 Mercenaries Simkin


CH7 02 Chaos Thug Slasher


BC7f Heroic Fighter Vlad Krakhed


MM42/2 (02) Ogre w. Sword


MM42/1 (01) Ogre w. Sword


And the current warband- another 20 or so to go

Lovely sculpts well painted

 

[twisted moon]

ruthless looking bunch!

unless you're determined to go all citadel / games workshop, there are lots of other in production figures that would slot in nicely. midlam miniatures springs to mind for example.

Thanks Twisted Moon, I appreciate you letting me know about Midlam! They have some villagers I’ll definitely have to pick up for this project
I’m by no means set to only GW, though I must admit I’ll probably end up picking up a box of state troops to match the other kitbashes I’ve already painted.

 

[sewers.of.estark]

Two more bandits..

F4 Mercenary Wilkin & F4 Feudal Singeon



And I’ll end my post today hoping for opinions, I’m debating using “Freddy” as an assassin in the ranks of bandits, otherwise he may join my group of evil player characters… what are your thoughts?

 

[ManicMan]

clearly bandit assassin works fine ^_^

 

[inchmurrin]

I'd go for Bandit assassin too if only to see more of your wonderfully painted stripy trousers.

Assassin it is! I was leaning that way myself so makes the decision much easier

And lots more to come to meet my unit requirement of 30, glad you like them inchmurrin!!

So much cool stuff on this thread! Your collection of trolls and giants is quite something.
Variation on the uniforms of guardsmen on page 4 is a nice touch, makes them look both individual yet a coherent group. Same goes for the bandits with their unifying colour scheme. Stripes are looking good as ever. Is one of the new recruits, Wilkin, sporting a corpse paint?
Though you already made up your mind, I’d have also said Freddy would work nicely as an assassin.

Thanks Geroak glad you’re enjoying the lot! I appreciate your praise!

And aye, I went a bit heavy with wilkin’s eye makeup and decided to go with corpse paint! Something I’ll likely be keeping up as I quite enjoyed the process & final product.

Freddy coming soon!

C35 Chaos Warrior Grimjack joining the bandit party.. will be used as a minor hero in skirmish games or as a regular militia figure while in unit formation.

 

[sewers.of.estark]

A few weeks ago I prepped a handful of scenic/terrain pieces for paint. Finally got along to one tonight, came out pretty quick!

Starting off with a small field of corn and a shot of it in use with the current bandit gang!

 

[KingOfTheLeadPile]

They look great! What are these made of? Paper?
