Or an irritable donkey…
Here is this week’s work.
(Remember: click on the pictures
for a bigger version):
Still mostly working on ancient
subjects and mostly for Song
of Shadows and Dust
“YOU DENSE, IRRITATING, MINIATURE
BEAST OF BURDEN!!!”
A couple of Donkeys from Pegasus Hobbies
farm animal set. They look a little small – mostly because they’re on REALLY
BIG bases! I’ll be using these as “Irritable Donkeys” in Song
of Shadows and Dust (it’s supposed to be “Irritable Mules”… but
donkeys are all I’ve got…). They’re essentially a small area of dangerous
terrain. We found that the mules/donkeys we had on regular-ish-sized bases
weren’t much of an obstacle – perhaps our cities have been too open… for now
we’ll try these larger bases… if it doesn’t work I can easily pop them off and
put them on something else.
Piggy-wigs… also from the Pegasus Hobbies
farm animal set.
A pig on his own… could be used
as one that wandered off… or one that’s particularly independent minded… or
Gryllus the Pig from The
Pig Scrolls…
An element of Spear for my New Kingdom Egyptian DBA/HOTT
army (though for soe reason I think they may be classified as “Blade”… figures
are from Wargames
Foundry
More Egyptians from Wargames Foundry -
these lot are, I think, supposed to be commanders – but I figured I could used
them as henchmen in an Egyptian faction in Song
of Shadows and Dust.
Still more Egyptians from Wargames Foundry -
these are supposed to be two guys practicing sword play, but, again, I figured
they could be passed off as club wielding goons in the violent streets of some
Mediterranean city…
STILL more Egyptians from Wargames Foundry -
some heavy hitters – armed with bow and Kopesh.
The last of the Egyptians from Wargames Foundry -
a slave girl.
I also did a few old Mega
Miniatures, which, I think, were from a “Sultan’s Harem” pack.
Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:
Be nice if I could get back to
gaming and posting reports… Hopefully by the end of the week… Otherwise – more Egyptians
and other ancients!
Great looking NKE, Tim. The slave girl is lovely.
ReplyDeleteand easiest to paint! Thanks!
DeleteWonderful stuff Tim. Your painting style particularly suits this genre I think.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
DeleteOutstanding! What colors are you using for the Egyptian flesh tones? Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan! I often mix stuff to get skin tones - these Egyptians are mostly Decoart Americana Milk Chocolate - sometimes with a bit of ... oh... I forget the name of the company - it's some other craft paint I picked up at Michaels - the colour is called toffee...?
DeleteVery nice work on all of those Tim. I recently bought the Pegasus farm animals in 1/72 and I'm impressed with the detail.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark! There is a lot of fun and useful stuff in the set - I picked up TWO!? I picked them up a few years back from North Star... I think they might have been on sale...? I just remember it was a smoking good deal for what i got!
DeleteThe Egyptians look terrific, especially the archers and their perfect head gear.
ReplyDeletethanks Baconfat!
