And very challenging to find figures and accessories in 40mm.

Sadly you are absolutely right...
But I took the challenge and started to build more stuff this week. Mainly sheep and angus...:)
Used FIMO Soft as a core.



Took some toothpicks and cut them for the legs....;)



And a few of the new cattle...




Even tried my hand at 2 Galloglass.



Took a lot of time but I am not really convinced with these.....:(



And managed to convert a few more men for 40mm gaming.





Stay tuned...:D

Cheers,
Don

I’m guessing you’ve read George MacDonald Frasers’ Border Reivers?

This project is awesome and has got me thinking. Particularly love the conversions on heroic 28mm figures.

Those Gallowglass are exceptional, I might suggest slightly longer mail shits but other than tha I am thoroughly impressed.

Okay...with a little pause...here are the additions to the Border Reivers.

First some new conversions. Used a few bits from the Frost Grave barbarian sprue.
Dog and goose are from a 1:35 set.




Finished some cattle.



...a few sheep.
Unfortunatly these are tooo big...;(.



And a few mision markers to rob and steal.





And a group shot, from the troops so far...;)




Sunday is the first playtest...:D
Trying to shoot some pics.


Cheers,
Don

Lovely stuff, especially the ruin. Useful for so many periods/scenarios.
