Post by: Irregular Wars Nic on March 14, 2017, 07:07:58 AM: Yeah it's a pike block.

But individually based, imagine having to move it across the table... ;)

Post by: Andym on March 14, 2017, 07:11:14 AM: I just had a flashback to 3rd edition Warhammer and the REALLY sharp goblin spears I accidentally landed my hand on a few times! I still bare the scars to this day! ;)

BTW your avatar has the same look I think I had when I opened up your post and seen your pictures! lol

Post by: levied troop on March 14, 2017, 07:14:10 AM: From one angle, it could be a hedgehog ;)

Impressive sight, wouldn't want to go up against it.

Post by: tomrommel1 on March 14, 2017, 07:16:18 AM: that is a hell of a pike block indeed :-*

Post by: Big Martin Back on March 14, 2017, 08:06:36 AM: Very nice. Shame about the odd overhand grip with the left hand that they modelled on some of the figures.
Title: Re: You call that a pike block? This is a pike block.
Post by: SteveBurt on March 14, 2017, 10:13:03 AM: Lovely painting. It's a shame the pikes (and indeed all the other weapons) are so over-scale.
Looks like the men are wielding telegraph poles, and the muskets look like blunderbusses.
But that's GW for you - they always have huge weapons on their figures.

Post by: GamesPoet on March 14, 2017, 03:33:15 PM: It doesn't seem worth being hung up on how the weapons look when these figures are quite the impressive project!
Title: Re: You call that a pike block? This is a pike block.
Post by: Captain Blood on March 14, 2017, 04:02:30 PM: I agree it's an impressive spread of figures - well done. That's a lot of painting!
Also agree however that the pikes themselves look like telegraph poles. And with a strange thin bit at the bottom. All a bit peculiar. But then, to be fair, these are fantasy figures - albeit here playing a historical role :)

Post by: Bushbaby on March 14, 2017, 05:28:52 PM: Thank you!

Regarding the "telegraph pikes". They are my own "fast" conversions, and considering the fact that I had to convert roughly two hundred GW spearmen into landsknecht pikemen (and not willing to spend half a year with a drill doing so) to make this project a reality, it was a price I decided I was willing to pay.

(It still took ages to complete the project though :))

Post by: The Voivod on March 14, 2017, 08:51:12 PM: That's a colourfull hedgehog!

Sweet stuff.

Wonderful work. I’m pleased to resurrect this thread!

I like 'em big too. Though I like having more than one even more!

Post by: Golgotha on July 05, 2022, 05:12:33 PM: Spikey indeed - looks great all laid out on the table like that also like the conversion of the four chaps carrying the religious icon.

Look fantastic on the table!

Post by: carlos marighela on July 06, 2022, 09:17:00 AM: Looks impressive but must be a bear to move on the table, all individually based and all. Just out of curiosity, how long does it take to move eight inches on the table? Three days? A week? :)
