Fabulous work! Your basing really looks like somewhere in the Egyptian desert.

Post by: Argonor on April 13, 2014, 06:19:36 PM: Are those frenchies from Eureka (or have the camel-riders been converted in some way)?

I think I need to paint some of my Bag'o'C' minis as different kinds of stone, too... :)

Thanks Nick! I was using all our recent Painting Challenge camels as my muse. :)

Post by: Curt on April 13, 2014, 07:54:06 PM: Thanks for the kind words folks!

Very nice work on those Lawmen, strutter. I particularly like the fellow 'clearing leather' (second from the left). Are these a mix of different sculpts?

@Argonor & Rob_bresnen: The French (Paul Hicks sculpts) are from a little-known range from Brigade Games. Their site can be a bit difficult of navigate at times, which I think does their sales a disservice. That being said there have been several entries this year featuring their British naval landing figures.

Thanks, I've made a mental note of that. You never know if you're gonna need camel riders...

Post by: Rob_bresnen on April 13, 2014, 08:44:28 PM: I am familiar with the Brigade Games range (I am one of the ones who have done Navy landing parties) but I never looked at the French.. must go and have a look now!

The 2 2nd from th left and 3rd from the left are Wargames Foundry. I'm not sure about the other 3, I have had them for a while. I had to paint them up for a Lengends of the Old West tournament at Adepticon last last week

…and the title… very funny. :D

Post by: XCIV on April 14, 2014, 04:29:07 PM: Darnit! I was going to include a Cthulhu statue in one of my later rounds. Guess I go to Plan Two. No, I won't share.

I like that tricolor coat the standing fellow in the tophat is sporting. Tres republicain!

And as for the lawmen, I second the notion that the second fellow from the left is the best of a good lot. My cowboys don't look half so good.

Lawmen look good as well!

Post by: Curt on April 14, 2014, 06:59:35 PM: @Strutter: Ah, I thought some of those might be from Foundry. Great models and again, great work on them.

@thebinmann: Yes, a bit of sartorial patriotism in support of the Republic and The Revolution!

@Frank: Thanks Frank! Love your vikings BTW - cracking seagulls!

@XCIV: Cheers for the comment. The coat was just crying to be done 'a la Republican'.

@babakoto: Funny how this didn't make it back to the Louvre... ;P

@Dr Mathias: Cheers!
