From KeithS: Tavern folk (20 points)

A quick entry.  In between working on my (non) nautical challenge and another larger project, I did these four tavern type people.  They're from Reaper's first Bones kickstarter a few years back.  Unlike most of Reapers stuff, these four scale well to 28mm.  I thought they could be useful as civilians for use with my Viking and Saxon armies in a Saga scenario.


Here's the group, all pretty straightforward.  There's the barkeep, a serving wench, a cleaning lady, and one other young lady who's role is possibly other than the rest.


 'From the reverse.  These were quite easy to paint, though I do not like Reaper's white plastic...it just doesn't seem right somehow.  Also, my primer is super tacky on it.


The young lasses up close.


A little side project, but one that should prove useful in a game of Saga I have in mind.  I have a lot of other Bones from the kickstarter to paint, and might knock a few out before the challenge ends.

Always good to see civilians being added in  - some fine and somewhat scary ladies which I dont think will stand any nonsense. Oh and I see you nudging into the top 10 -well with another post lurking for today you will be in it - and your over target - you need to re challenge yourself with a stretch goal ... 1350-1400? more perhaps

  5. Thanks, all!

    As for targets, I think I can handle 1500, despite two weekends devoted to gaming cons, starting in, oh 10 minutes for the first one!
