For my second entry of the day I've gone all silver Bayonet on ya! I've no real interest in the game Silver Bayonet, but I've been a long admirer of the figures produced for the rules, they're so full of character. So I took full advantage of the recent offer from North Star, where you could buy the figures individually, rather than the unit boxes they usually sell in.
I managed to get this unit finished in time to take some pics and post it up. Sitting them on a radiator to help them dry quicker did help!
I painted the figures at the back first, the chap back o the left was supposed to be for my Haitian project, but Haiti's too hot for him,
The figure on the left, has a greenstuff cloak added
as does the Cuirassier on the right, all the others are as they came in the post. Which is a shame, they're both really nice figures and I've hidden all that wonderful detail under a cloak!!
I'm not sure if these will become a unit of stragglers or command figures if I'm being honest, they'll probably be a bit of both in the end.
Points mean prizes and these bad boys will give me 40 points.
8 figures@ 5pts each.
Plus anything Teemu wants to give me for the conversion work ;0)
TeemuL: More winter minis, well done Ray! As before, you have found a nice recipe for snow and frost on minis. Green stuff cloaks are worth couple of points, when asked nicely. And they seem to be nice minis by themselves, it would be nice to see them next to the other parts of your army. They will add some spice to your units, that's for sure.
Those are great figures and I love how you have painted and based them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, glad you like them!
DeleteCracking work. Time for cossacks
ReplyDeleteThey're Lee's problem!
DeleteThe Silver Bayonet figures are lovely...I'm gonna have to get me some (and once again, you are a bad/good influence on my spending habits🤣)
ReplyDeleteShoulda bought them when I told you?
DeleteFine work on these, just looking at them gives me the shivers.
ReplyDeleteThat's the plan!
DeleteFantastic job, Matt
ReplyDeleteCheers Matt!
DeleteClever idea and superb job Ray
ReplyDeleteCheers Kerry.
DeleteExcellent idea Ray - "Silver Bayonet" is not my cup of tea, but what a great use for these figures.
ReplyDeleteI just had to, the figures have so much character.
DeleteWonderful work on these figures. The winter weathering really is great.
ReplyDeleteCheers Tom.
DeleteNice colour palette Ray .. cracking along nicely
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave, as is your wintery project.
DeleteGreat work on this project Ray!
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter, and I've entered my details in the duel email thingy too!
DeleteNice painted unit Ray!
ReplyDeleteThe snow is made of what? Glue and bicarbonate? I like it a lot!
No, its Woodlands Scenic snow mixed with neat PVA, a dash of water and a whole lotta love!
DeleteThanks Ray!
DeleteNo problem Peter.
DeleteExcellent use of the silver bayonet figures. I have them as well without added winter attire. These are great. While I do some silver bayonet as you have discovered they are great characters for Sharp Practice. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThey are great looking figures for sure, I wish they did more!
DeleteThey look like they would have enjoyed their time warming up on the radiator. Your painting and green stuff work has added heaps of character to the figures.
ReplyDeleteThey did, so did my frozen feet!
DeleteChock full of character and looking mighty chilly - spot on!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jamie, I appreciate your comment.
DeleteFabulous figures and superb painting. A visual treat
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam!!
DeleteThe sheer scale of your project and the eye for detail that you use when adding units is awesome Ray! Great painting, keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sander!
DeleteGreat idea, Ray, they are beautifully painted as well. Top job! (Love the ostentatious intellectual backbencher, btw)
ReplyDeleteYeh, he looks like he shouldn't be there..
DeleteSuperb character figures from the SB range, nice work.
ReplyDeleteCheers Barks!
DeleteLovely work on these Ray, I've also bagged some Silver Bayonet figures to use in my Sharp Practice forces. Who knows they may even get painted one day.....
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul......you never know eh???
DeleteLot of personality at these minis! Congrats
ReplyDeleteThanks Dani!
