With any luck this will not be my last entry for AHPC XIV! Here we have another pack of 4 figures from Bloody Miniatures, The Continental Mercenaries BM 036:
I feel like I rushed these a bit to get them done for today.
Another wonderful pack though, with very characterful figures.
They could be from anywhere in western or central Europe.
One got a red sash (Royalist) and one an orange sash (Parliamentarian) but, being mercenaries, their loyalties may be... flexible.
I'm no Miles, so just a measly 20 pts for me:
4 x 28mm figures @ 5 pts each= 20 pts
TeemuL: Well, you might have rushed with these, but it is just your opinion. To my eye, they look excellent! Their un-uniformed look (is that a word) fits nice with their mercenary background, but you have still managed to have certain uniformity with them - the basing of course goes a long way to that direction. There is so much to like, painting the lace, all the consistency in the highlights and selection of tones of colours in general. Good job!
Superb figures , superbly painted and photographed, you have a lovely ECW collection
ReplyDeleteWonderfully painted as always. Such a great line of miniatures.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely. do you know if they have a US distributor?
ReplyDeleteSadly not- the only way to get them is directly through Bloody Miniatures.
DeleteThese look great, well done! Although now I can't get the image of "the Continental" (Christopher Walken in the SNL skit) out of my head... "fine Franch cham-pan-yuh" :-)
ReplyDeleteLol I toyed with the idea of giving the all white hair and calling them The Incontinent Mercenaries.
DeleteLovely work.
ReplyDeleteLovely brushwork
ReplyDeleteWonderful stuff! Love the blue suited dandy.
