This is a small diversion in my two main projects this year (the emerging Early Imperial Roman and enemies unit + the core planned early II World War Germans platoon), having a lot of fun painting it yesterday.
A wild boar family! Despite what you may think, it is not unrelated to the first project. In fact in Infamy! Infamy (the incoming Ancient period rules by Too Fat Lardies), there is a table that triggers unexpected events and one of this is a unit overrun by wild boar hog in the forest.
The models make a nice piece of scenery, a jump off point and of course a funny addition when this unexpected event triggers in the game.
These wild boar family is from Warbases. I just happened to detect it when perusing the website looking for appropriate bases and movement trays for my armies and decided to give them a try.
I strongly recommend taking a look to the Warbases' Animals section, they have a wide and very nice range of models that may go unnoticed to many as we tend to associate the company with the basing stuff.
I'm not sure how to treat them in terms of scoring points for the Challenge. May be 10 points like a mounted figure? I leave it to wisely judge decision of the minion-in-charge today... I'm in your hands.
From MilesR: MMMMM Bacon.... but I digress. Love the boars - especially the piglets!
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.
