New Jeanne d'Arc on Horseback & Foot - with banners!
« on: 14 June 2024, 05:56:11 PM »
Hello! We made Jeanne on foot for our Community Miniatures Project, which you can read about here
https://communityminiaturesproject.com/

then went heck it, I'd already spent a lot of time researching her life and looks, that I should add a mounted version.

So here she is!

They're both given stunning paintjobs by fellow LAFer John Morris, and are sculpted by Alan Marsh.

The banners (and spears) actually come in the pack. The banners were drawn by our artist Martin Whitmore and are a detail I am really proud of, as I find they really tie the minis together. Jeanne had such iconic banners that it would have felt incomplete without them. The designs are based on contempory descriptions.



here is another angle of the banner



You can pick her up here and through retailers soon (The packaging will be here next week)

Thanks for reading, I hope you love her even a little bit as much as I do, it's made my week.

Superb! She is excellent!

I love that the standing figure is so obviously singing!
I have a bad case of prescient nostalgia. The future's not what it used to be.

Now I have read that I know it's true, but I had seen her giving an inspiring speech.
Just off to order mine!

OK, I know we can't trust Morrissey ever since he metamorphosed into a racist prick but where's her Walkman and her Roman nose? :)

Very nicely done and timed perfectly for the Osprey release. :-* :-*

Great looking model, and tremendous painting.

What is that ghastly looking creature in the background?  Some sort of gargoyle?

She looks amazing, Annie :) always wanted to get a mini of the Maid. She should fit right in with some Perry  Agincourt knights, wouldn't she?

@DalyDR: That's the Turkey Man. He's awful, he's a menace... He could be right behind you ;)

Thank you all so much! She will indeed fit in very well with the likes of other ranges.

She's got her hand on her heart and shouting something motivational, but she could also be singing!

I'm so happy she's been well loved already, and I saw the Osprey announcement yesterday and went "yessssss!"

Thank you!

That's Turkey Man, creature of nightmares.

It's ok though, she's gonna get him!

Gorgeous figure! Masterful brushwork! She inspires me to want to build a French army!

Oooh very nice. Would look really good accompanied by a bodyguard of loyal Scots; Kennedy, Ogilvie, Wishart, et al.

Aaaaand I've just talked myself into starting a warband for Ruckus after swearing I had no use for such a system. :-X
Proudly not painting Wars of The Roses since... ever
