Tonight, I have the last of the Warlord Blitzkrieg Germans (Senior Officers/HQ), the first two 1st Corps Fallschirmjaegers AND a few more of the Three Musketeers figures hot off the painting desk!
This is a really attractive set and I think they have come out nicely.
So, I have taken images from every angle!
Enjoy - only a couple more of them!
And here are three images of a couple of the German para's I painted up as a "test".
Again, as many commented in the previous post, I think they look ok with some paint on them.
Now, the rest of the Cardinals Guard, the Cardinal himself, and, of course, his most famous agent!
Two more Cardinals Guards in red, and an assassin working for The Spanish Inquisition!
Cardinal Richelieu, flanked by two versions of M'Lady de Winter (the right hand sculpt is not the most attractive female figure I have ever painted, unfortunately!)
The Cardinal briefs M'Lady and the sergeant of his guards.....
M'Lady (with her identity concealed) and the sergeant enter the designated auberge.....
A sword fight erupts as the Cardinals men attempt to arrest D'Artagnan and the Kings Musketeers come to his aid!
Nice figures all, and I enjoyed painting them (apart from the rather stumpy and unattractive M'Lady figure!). I may be forced to substitute her for a better-looking version at a later date - purely in the interests of historical accuracy, I hasten to add :)
Thank you for your visit and I will appreciate any comments you are kind enough to leave!
Lovely work all round. I particularly liked the background shots of your drawing room that appear in the latter photos. Lol.
ReplyDeleteCheers JBM, yes the smaller of the two drawing rooms came up nicely in the pictures, I thought!
DeleteNice work there Kieth on all the new figures - you've certainly a talent there.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your kind words Kev, and I am happy with how my figures turn out, but I don't think my painting abilities are particularly note worthy!
DeleteLove that command stand!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice set of figures Michael!
DeleteNice to see the fallscrimjager are so soon done, and surely will be featured In a game soon. But the Cardinal and his guards and agents really scream game soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe...I wanted to see how the FJ came out but it might be a little while till the rest get painted!
DeleteBeautiful work there! Have a few Cardinals guards for painting and have an inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal and looking forward to seeing your Cardinals Guards painted up!
DeleteLovely work Keith, especially the German command base
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Neil...a great little vignette to paint!
DeleteThe Cardinal and his friends make a colourful lot, but I the German HQ figures are my favourite. Lovely work Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence and the Wehrmacht command group seems to be the crowd favourite so far 👌
DeleteI like the command table / map as a thing that I know I need to do, but I do like the character set, second from bottom, with the dog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Norm, glad you approve! The character set you mention is an amalgum of figures from all sorts of disparate manufacturers....Col Bill's, Fenryll, Reaper and Brigade, plus a couple of NZ produced 3d prints!
DeleteMany super additions to your projects. I do like the red musketeers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon, great having all these different projects to choose from....and a few more unusual figures just arrived from the US today!
DeleteLooking really great, and super quick too! I 100% agree that lady D’winter needs to be attractive. I know we’re talking miniatures here but still, games need standards! Lol 😀😀
ReplyDeleteYes indeedy Stew...and there are sculptors out there who can do it, no problem at all!
Deletegreat collection there Keith.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ben!
DeleteSplendid stuff Keith…
ReplyDeleteThe paratroopers have come out well… as have the Cardinals men.
All the best. Aly
Cheers Aly, I am pleased you like 'em all!
DeleteLovely work there on all fronts Keith:)!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Steve!
DeleteLovely looking Wehrmacht command and flashing blade types, you've got to fight for what is right? I can't remember the dubbed lyrics anymore!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Hahaha...you read my mind Iain....I have a DVD of The Flashing Blade en route as we speak! Also started rewatching the BBC Musketeers series fron 5 or 6 years ago!
DeleteAnd through the magic of the internet - here are the lyrics!
DeleteYou've got to fight for what you want,
For all that you believe.
It's right to fight for what you want,
To live the way we please
As long as we have done our best,
Then no-one can do more,
For life and love and happiness,
Are well worth fighting for.
Lovely work Keith…….’stumpy and unattractive’ surely not 😀
ReplyDeleteWell, in comparison to the new batch of Effincool figures, I don't think the Paul Hicks (?) Brigade figure is all that great, Matt?!
