Painted: Crooked Dice Corn Dolls
« on: January 15, 2012, 01:33:00 PM »
Mark Dixon has a little pile of CD minis that he's painting for our Salute Quick Play Games.

Here are some Corn Dolls that are appearing in the Fiddler's Green Episode.

Normally pop stuff in Future Wars, but these seemed better here?

An old term for corn effigies, also used as the name for our possessed or robotic scarecrows in our Crooked Dice background.

On that first one, I really love the green and browns on the shirt.  Really great touch.

Great stuff. I've alwasys been fond of animated scarecrows. There's just something inately creepy about them.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
