From JohnM: Odds and Ends (20 Points)


Not much for this week, I am working on a fairly big project (well in truth it is quite small), which I hope to have done by the end of the challenge. But each week, I will try to paint a few figures to keep going with the submissions. Most of these figures will be filling in the gaps of my skirmish collections or maybe even 18mm AB Napoleonic project.

I noticed I was down one Dark Ages Viking Hirdman, fortunately I found one in the box. A lovely figure, I am not sure which manufacturer but a joy to paint. I am also missing (I suspect it is our cat little Santini who is taking the figures) a Viking Bondi but alas none in the box, I will have to order one.
Then we have 3 missionaries from AW Miniatures (same manufacture as the canoes from last week). These are much smaller then their other figures; who knows why. I enjoyed painting them, they are interesting but I have seen better figures.

Well that is it for this week, 20 points. Maybe I will have some more Congo figures for next week.

ByronM: Four very interesting figures here John, I especially like the missionaries as they could be used for many different games as either people of interest, escort items, or even in 40k as heretics of the true faith in the Emperor that need to be captured and purged.... er.... I mean "objectives", yeah that's it, objectives.  Anyway, very well done and I like the fact that you did them in multiple colours so they show up differently and really like the shading on the grey one, well done.

  3. Your cat's name is Santini? That's awesome.

    Great work John. Nice 'religious types', suitable for callous slaughter. What would history be without them.

    1. Santini is a beautiful little cat, almost 2 years old. She is the quite small less then 10 pds, and does wonderful acrobats, the the name the Great Santini.

  4. I like the colorful viking a lot, But I really dig your clergy! You painted them up a treat and I can see them in all sorts of scenarios and campaigns across time ( or like Byron pointed out) space!
    Nice work!
