Title: Britanan Army for Relics
Post by: Brummie Thug on 28 February 2015, 07:37:35 PM: I think this is the right section for Relics stuff. Anyway going to a Relics Tournament in Worcester end of March and its given me a kick in the butt to get an army built and painted for it. So far this is January and February work. There are some Dragoons and Heavy Dragoons sitting currently on the paint table to get done by 29th March :D Composition of the army is not quite set in stone yet.

Now that that is out of my system, the Little Stitched Together Red Coats are COOL, CHARMING, & BEAUTIFULLY painted. They're just the Lads to gun down H. C. Anderson's Steadfast Tin Soldier. VERY WELL DONE!

You did a great job on those

Post by: Whitwort Stormbringer on 02 March 2015, 03:25:06 AM: Great looking puppets! I've long considered diving into Relics (and it's still in the cards), just haven't due to the usual suspects (time, money, opponents...).

They look great, good luck at the tourney!

There are 2 different minis, both with a few weapon-options ;)

Thanks everyone I hope to get to more tournaments and get a few friends involved. Plus If I get the armies painted up its easier to get a game in with someone.

There are two Company Sergeant Major figures they have separate hands so you can equip them however you like (game terms it doesn't matter). Its nice as some of the hands can be used to convert the troopers so if you have more than one unit you can have even more variety.

Cavalry are the next part of the force.

Heavy Dragoons

The Dragoon at the front has hands from the CSM sprue with a trimmed down rifle and new arms made from putty and wire.

Post by: Brummie Thug on 05 March 2015, 09:24:51 AM: Can't decide on what colour todo the plumes still. Grey is the current top choice. Didn't do much last night so stuck together a pair of Banished Knights. New mercenery units for Relics

Title: Re: Britanan Army for Relics
Post by: Brummie Thug on 05 March 2015, 10:41:56 PM: They will be soon I think. They ran a game funder last year for some additions to the ranges. But I only went in for these two. The one on the right will be available the left was an exclusive. Though I think I read he might be available at events and tournaments and such
