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!

Walking rations! Very well painted and useful for quite a lot of scenarios I might imagine.
ReplyDeleteI bet they’d go well with a dab of whole grain mustard...but nice work Benito.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous scenic base for the tabletop, Benito. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou've got the marking on the boars down to a 'T'.
ReplyDeleteVery well executed brush strokes!
These'll look great on the table, excellent work.
ReplyDeleteI agree, especially in the dining table once roasted and with a good red Rioja ;-)
DeleteEVERYTHING is great with a good red Rioja... :)
DeleteVery nice, particularly the markings on the boarlets. Piglets? Baby boar?
