Another small thing from the lead pile to the display shelf. Got this guy from Fenris' last kickstarter, the Wyldwood one. Figure I may use it as a werebear in something or other at some point. Very nice mini either way, little bit of flash but nothing major.

What do you think?

I think he doesn't look that small!

He looks absolutely ferocious, and just about strong enough to wield that enormous blade! Nice painting, and I really like the base too.

I think that if polar bears ever gain opposable thumbs and swordsmanship, we humans are screwed.

Nicely done. 👍

Thanks fellas! With my Sludge-kick for the last six months it seems I've just started doing all my metals with heavy-handed brown washes for patina

A great figure, nicely painted. That blade really sings.

I've been trying to think of a good pun since you posted this but they're all pretty unbearable.

(Great work as usual)

Got some more scenery finished. I bought these 3D printed webbed trees a while back and they had been sitting untouched for several months when Kromlech released their next set of Dark Forest scenery. I love this whole range, excellent quality heavy resin pieces (you can see the bushes and stumps sets painted a couple pages back). I bought all the new trees, expensive but well worth the price, and a notice board.

Last night I finally got it all finished with some tufts and leaf scatter.

What do you think?

The trees look amazing. Great job!

Love the little details, like the mushrooms.

A lot to love here, I was surprised to see I had not commented before I tend to peek my head in on a regular basis. The collection of terrain is vibrant and lovely, I especially like the notice board.

This was a little spur of the moment decision, and had I known Sludge Nations would release the same week (check my black powder log) I would probably have held of this purchase. Still, here we are. I have been playing a lot of Mount & Blade Bannerlord, and loving it's low fantasy dark age style setting. The different civilizations are all quite cool and I love that they step away from having the english/french analogue as the central realm. Instead the three large kingdoms that remain from an older empire are decidedly Byzantine in style. There's also a realm with very strong Rus vibes.

The game's title screen looks like this and I think it is a great look:

So I ended up buying 20 varangian guard one late night with the idea of using them as Linebreakers for my Kingdom of the Black Duns for Oathmark. I ended up grabbing Fireforge's pack of 12, a pack of 4 from V&V miniatures and a pack of 4 from Stronghold Terrain. V&V are definitely the best sculpts of these, while Fireforge frustrated me the most with trying to match up the four point connections on their models. Still, at less than half the price per model compared to the other two, I can't complain too much.

I decided to model these completely sans shields as Oathmark Linebreakers lack the shielding ability. In the end, two models needed to get shields anyway as I only had left arms with shield straps left (a result of wonky design from Fireforge, but their kit does come with the option of either dane axes or shield + spear, so at least I had some arms I could use). I also used Victrix scabards as I prefer their design compared to what came with most of the models.
