Title: Space 1889 Project: First Characters
Post by: Cadet13 on June 22, 2015, 10:02:36 PM
Hello all,

I've started a Space 1889 roleplaying/wargaming project and I got the first couple of figures done over the weekend. I hope you like them:

A start on a conversion for a German character shamefully stolen from inspired by a character from the Major General's old website, Herr Major Rittmeister Manfred von Strickland:

Because the Space 1889 universe includes bands of Fenians, I've painted up a couple of American Civil War figures to serve as my Fenian commanders: "Captain" Sean Kilrain and Peter O'Malley. (And I finally got my camera to take halfway decent photos!)

Kilrain on the left, O'Malley on the right. Kilrain is an old Foundry figure, O'Malley is from Sash & Saber. More talk at the blog: http://chucksspace1889.blogspot.com/2015/07/fenian-command.html (http://chucksspace1889.blogspot.com/2015/07/fenian-command.html)
