This is the first in my series of bandits for LMoP. I initially prepped and batch painted a collection of 12 models that were existing parts of my collection, freebee models, or the occasional purchase. The only real unifying theme was a bandana type element (rather than a cloak) I could use to visually link them. At a point I switched over to completing each model one-by-one to give each one a unique element for individual interest. Batch painting for me tends to be a little sloppy to keep things moving quickly, so the models in this collection aren't perfect, but they'll more than do the job as generic low level antagonists. I think this one will make a nice leader type for ruffian encounters in town.
This nice piece was sculpted by Galaad Miniatures. I took some liberties with her outfit design, and altered her scale a bit (I tend to scale things to be in line with "30mm" so that they work well with "28-32mm" scale physical models I own), but I think she it pretty faithful to the concept.
1 done, 11 to go!
May I just note that I really like the bases you've got going on these bandits. You really nailed the cobblestone colouration, and the spilled apples are a genius splash of colour and story.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for continuing to follow my blog! I know I don't engage much, but Blogger doesn't make it easy to respond. More bandits are on the way soon! If there is anything specific you are interested in seeing painted up let me know. I may have it done or, more likely, it is a WIP on the "shelf-o'-shame" begging for a reason to be finished.
