Amongst some recent arrivals from Col Bills were a couple of packs of "Heidsman's Wife and Servants" for the Border Reivers project, so for a bit of a change, I decided to paint up one set. This is a pack of three female figures, one very obviously the wife, one very obviously a "peasant" (!) and the third more in between and could be used as either an indoor maid or a member of the Heidsman's family - perhaps a sister or daughter. In addition, I have had two versions of this Tudor lady from The Assault Group sitting on the painting table for months, just waiting for the basing to be finished off, so they have now been completed too.
The wife and indoor maid being accosted by three Reivers or perhaps interrogated by royal officers...
The Lady of the Pele Tower, complete with pearls, ruby earrings and a tiara!
Servant/sister in law/daughter
Servant with basket
The two TAG figures - she may actually be listed as Queen Mary (Bloody Mary I assume, not the Scottish version,,,)
Thats all from me tonight - the next batch of Tsuba figures are under coated and awaiting their transformation into another Warlord Chinese group!
Ooo very nice! They're a great range of figures!
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed Ray - might be of use to you for Donnybrook or something similar?
DeleteYour ladies are looking good!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon! :)
DeleteNice additions for games. I like the range style and the differing jobs you've assigned the castings.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe - hopefully I will be able to use them in some still distant Border Reivers scenario!
DeleteLovely looking minis sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal
DeleteCol Bills is always worth keeping an eye on.
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed Norm, particularly the pre owned section. I have picked up s few bits and pieces from there, as well as the Reivers from their new stock
DeleteSome nice young ladies Keith…
ReplyDeleteAll the best. Aly
Thanks Aly
DeleteTop stuff again. Interesting figures and very nicely painted.
ReplyDeleteCheers JBM
DeleteLovely work as always and nice to see a mix of periods agian ono your painting desk, so to speak:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Steve, more Pulp next and then I think I will have to go back to some Border Reivers who have been languishing unpainted for many months, as none of my other stuff seems to be arriving from overseas :(
DeleteGreat work Keith, and the two 'Queen Marys' turned out particularly well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence - I may have been "spoiled for choice" recently but I did not find the sculpting of the facial details on the TAG figures that pleasing - the clothing was good however!
DeleteSuperb work
ReplyDeleteThanks Scotty - I thought the figure with the basket in particular looked quiet Mediterranean, although that's mainly the way I have done her flesh I guess. In here current guise, she could fit right into one of your SCW games!
DeleteGreat looking ladies, Keith. The maid looks very useful in other periods as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean, yes as per my comments to Scotty above!
DeleteWell, sir, not only is your figure painting tempo impressive, but your agility is even more so: switching from Bolshies to Reivers. Pleasing and inspiring all in the same go (feeling the mojo to get out of a bit of a painting slump as a result: thanks!)
ReplyDeleteCheers Ed - if I have inspired some more painting output from you, that's an added bonus!
DeleteThose miniatures should add some nice atmosphere to the game table. Great job. ๐
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew I am hoping to work them in to a few scenarios!
DeleteLovely looking miniatures! Women miniatures ัan adorn and liven up any table :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Dmitry - that is certainly my opinion too!
