Sheep! (Clint B) 28mm Livestock MONDAY

A small flock of sheep. 2 Adults and 4 lambs. The breed is "Mouflon" and I will be using them as objectives in some border reivers games. yes there will be other live stock my troops are not all sheep bothereers! The figures are made by Warbases Link and have many uses including scene dressing. I will be painting some more in the challenge as well. It is just that these are finished today and today is my posting day. And to be brutally honest they were a nice distraction from painting little Zulus!

I probably could have taken a better picture but they kept wandering off!











This is a real one
MilesR: Clint these are some mighty fine sheep and probably about as far away from Zulus as you can get.  The Warbases website lists them as 28mm so why don't we go with that.  This small but attractive flock will net you a tidy 30 points - well done!

    Thank you Miles, very generous. Personally I think the lambs should be treated as either 10mm or 15mm. But then I am not a Minion (I don't rank that high). So Tank you.

    Those are awesome. I really like the rams. Great table dressing, or as you say, objective markers.

      Thank you Curt. I do believe that ewes of this breed have horns as well as rams. So I would guess these are one of each. BUT my animal husbandry is not fool proof!

      Thank you Ian. There will be more animals on the challenge this year I am sure. Remember Tamsin Started it! It is all her fault.

    Lovely figures and some more points in the woolsack.
    I would like to have some of these for my LOTR gaming, they look like the sort of thing Rohirrim would raise and hungry raiders would like.

      Thank you Michael. I would check the animals that Warbaes make as I think thre are a few breeds that would suit the Rohirimn very well.

    I'm a bit sheepish to toss in another bad animal pun so I'll just say "Well done!".

    Shear fun! After Tamsin's sheep these are a great addition to the Challenge Menagerie, perhaps I should get some more life-stock done too!

      Thank you Sander. I think everyone should do livestock. Not just sheep but goats, cows and even rabbits!

    Nice work on these beasties - and it's always good to have something to make off with in a skirmish game!

      Thanks Evan. I totally agree. I will also be painting some cattle soon which players may steal in game. (Maybe some chickens as well)

      Thank you Barks. Scenery in some games reasons to fight in others and Objectives in yet others.

    More stage dressing! They look grand, Clint! A sheepdog would keep them from wandering about! ;)

      Thanks Michael. They may not carry guns or swords but they are just as important in some games

    Good stuff, little miniatires like this really add a lot to the look of the table. I've been tempted by a fair few of the range....

      Thanks Jamie. I want to get some more of the range as well. I want Pigs next I think, or boars.

    One can never have enough live stock on the table. Especially when it's as nicely painted as these examples here.
