The Jewish Revolt AD 66-74

Great idea Rui.

Pictish figurines are a must for zealot ambushers/conspirators...

Indeed they are Eric.

Here are the first 2 conversions finished.
The first is already introduced and the second is a thracian body from Lucid Eye and a head from a GB plastic arab plus cloak sculped and dagger glued on the left hand. He is intended to be a Sicari.

great.
your are nearly in the assassin's creed world with that guy

[pocoloco]

The deadly looking chap with two blades wins the day! 

[Richard in Sachsen]

Wow!

Really impressed! Especially since I was just trying some conversion today. This stuff (the green as well as doing it) is really difficult. I was trying to convert some old Wargames Factory Dark Age Warriors into Late Roman sailors with floppy hats and sagum. After a few of those, I had to put them down... let's just say it's a good thing the hats are, um, floppy.

So I come on here and see some really fine conversion work and I can appreciate it how much effort it is after trying to do it myself today.

Cheers!

Thank you Richard.

Well, after almost a year i got to this project again.
Lets see if i finish it...

The converted figures finally painted.

[Wiegraf]

Cool work on these fellows. I'm lined up to do some Jewish revolt after my Romans, too It is a fun project

[rumacara]

Thanks Wiegraf. Looking forward to see yours.

Finaly i got some free time and the mood to do some more conversions.
5 more to the gang. They dont look much now but they will after painting.
I wanted some to have looted roman equipment.

[Munindk]

OMG those jews are revolting! :p

Get it? - I'll show myself out.

Bad jokes aside those are some fine conversions, great effects with relatively little sculpting required. You seem to have an eye for kitbashing

Have you considered the Perry plastic Mahdists? I've seem them used for all sorts of things, including dark age Irish.

[rumacara]

Thank you Munindk.
Yes i´ve considered Perry Mahdists but i dont have any and i already have other figures so untill i end the ideas with what i have i wont buy others for this project.

[Easy E]

Love the guy with the face covering and cloak.  Very cool conversion!

 

[Wiegraf]

Haha, I am afraid mine will not really make use of so many cloaks and head wraps.  I'm going for more the poor skirmishers / common person and not so much the Zealot / sicarii look.  I'll have a unit of camels in there though.

Will be sharing when I get to around it.  Cheers!

I would be heavily influenced by the People's Front Of Judea for my figures if I did this project...would have to have some women disguised with fake beards and one carrying a sick donkey on her shoulders..
