Hi,
few days ago, I read the post of Captain Blood on the new Conquest Games plastic medieval knights - and that he finds that the quality of the sculpts of Conquest figures is mostly very poor.
I fully agree with the Captain - but I found a way to use the plastic archers from Conquest Games:
IŽve build me new Anglo-saxons and Vikings with a little green stuff and shield arms from their norman sets.
I wanted to have very character full (and as "hairy" as possible - like the old Foundry Vikings) heads - so moustaches and beards are really big ;-)
Most of them are still work in progress - so more to follow (hopefully) soon.
here the saxons first

here the first vikings - from one of the archers pose (the one with the longest tunic) - IŽve made my viking women and from some old Immortal greeks (trumpeter boy) - IŽve made the young boys
-
and here the last ones - I know painting could be better - and I want to correct them a little and bring more detail - also the green stuff work is not really finished
I also started some saxon cavalry - again using Conquest games

They look very nice.
Good conversions.
-
thx
-
Nice work!
-
Very well done. :-* :-* :-*
Loving those conversions.
-
very kind ;-) thx
but as IŽve seen the posts for the first time, I sow them from a new point of view - so now I think IŽll have to do a lot on the details - especially when IŽll paint them
-
Great idea.*thumbs up*
-
Very adventurous kitbashing and nice Green Stuff work.
Theres definitely something wrong with the stance / anatomy of the Conquest archer figures, but you have made them into something better.
Yes, the forthcoming Conquest knights look a lot better.
-
thank you captain ;-)
yes, the bad anatomy of them is really hard to correct - and if youŽll want to use them as archers - that is almost impossible imo - or youŽll get very strange looking poses of archers
@Codsticker - thx for "thumbs up" ;-)
-
Brilliant stuff, love the conversions 8) 8) 8)
-
holy hell those are great conversions. Nice use of those conquest archers! great look!

Yes, you have shown that the stance is better suited to an individual armed with a spear and shield, perhaps ready to receive a charge, than shoot a bow.
-
many thanks for your comments to all of you
;-)

I really like them, you've put a lot of effort in there. I've got half a box left, I might have a go.
-
I agree with everyone else.
Great job on the green stuff.
-
thx ;-)
-
Very well done , lovely kitbashing . Great use of green stuff for the hairy barbarian look .

A pity that both plastic Dark Ages archer boxes aren't very high quality. But you did some great work there.
