Robin Hood revisited

You will recall my previous Robin Hood post from January 2016. For some very meta theme nostalgia, I'm revisiting the subject ten years later.

These Merry Men are from Slave 2 Gaming. They're Mike Broadbent sculpts, but they're not his best. I did them quickly with Speedpaints, and they came out OK in the end. Absolution Green, Forest Sprite, Pallid Bone, Hardened Leather and Satchel Brown were staples, with a few other greens and browns for variety.





I asked the AHPC Antipodean chat what colour Maid Marion's dress should be, and blue was the answer. I painted Will Scarlet scarlet, but it's the sculpt for Alan-a-Dale with a lute on his back.

I also found a missing Bretonnian squire, and did a quick paint job on him. I really should have spent time doing highlights, he's a lovely Perry sculpt. Maybe later. You can buy these figures again now, $A15 each... (the S2G ones are < $4 each)...

Aliens: We're in the pipe, five by five

I painted the figures from We're in the pipe, five by five, the expansion for Aliens: Another glorious day in the Corps. It is not a snappily-named series. After the above photo, I went back and added more details to their patches and her glasses.

40K Sisters of Battle: Seraphim

 I painted these flying nuns almost three years ago, but realised that I haven't posted them to this blog.


The Seraph Superior has a rose for her wax purity seal... marvellous detail.








I really like these figures, but the flight stands are a delicate pain. They have the tiniest connection to the jump-pack and are very fragile.

I've added a washer beneath each base to drop the centre of gravity.
