Witch Hunters

Some more figures finished in the last year. Some witch Hunters to tag onto my TYW army. These guys are a tad medieval in appearance, but I suppose hanging about in torture chambers or the Bamberg Hexenhaus ( look it up, it's terrifying), they don't get to see up to date fashions.

The figures are from Gripping Beast and were great fun to paint. 

I've got a couple of 17c Solomon Kane looking figures to go with them, to help purge the Palatinate of the devil's minions.
 

Empire Archers

 Some more figures done for Geoff's game at Bring out your Lead in August. A mix of historical archers from the 13-15c. 

I wasn't that happy when the yellow, but it sort of matches the colour in the 3rd edition Warhammer rulebook where these chaos are shown deployed in front of the village WC (in case they are subject to a FEAR roll perhaps). 

Only 5 are visibility, but we are assuming they are part of a larger unit. I need to source the chap in the spangenhelm as I've just realised I haven't got him.

I picked these figures up at Devizes Attack show last year, and I think they might be recasts, or rejects from Foundry as some are quite small and there are some very pronounced mould lines , but they scrubbed up ok. 

The flag is based on a Burgundian example showing arrows forming a St. Andrew's cross. 

Hopefully they'll be able to defend the village thunderbox against the evil horde.

The unit will be for sale at £150 after the game.

First of the Landsknechts

 Landsknechts..... the idea of painting them has always filled me with dread, but I seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment having found my mojo after months in the wilderness.

I've got a pike block of 54 to complete, along with 10 skirmishers, and I've decided to paint each figure pretty much individually...with non uniformed troops I find it quicker, and less confusing.

The figures are by The Assault Group and are early Landsknechts from the 1490s-early 1500s.

Here are the first 3 .

At the moment, I'm quite enjoying the challenge of getting one a day finished...we'll see how I feel after a few more.

One thing I'm finding is I can only paint for about an hour at a time now without getting a tummy ache, presumably due to my appalling posture when painting.
