Thanks I'm glad you like it!

Next up is Jéan d'Arc one of Jeannes brothers. He wears the heraldy given to Jeanne and her family. The Maid herself never used this coat of arms but it seem that her brothers bore them into battle.







next up will be La Hire.

Thanks!

Next up is Étienne de Vignolles or better known as La Hire as promised!

His coat of arms:



I remodelled parts of his torso and legs to make him a giant among men as you can see on the last picture. Even bent over in his attack he towers over a normal miniature.

Jeann herself. Still missing her famous standard but still very pleased with her. I also added a picture to compare my interpretation of her famed white armour with some other ones.







And some wip pictures so you can see how I converted her. I shortened her legs made her generally slimmer by shaving away a lot of plastic and sculpting new parts. The head is from a Lotr woodelf ranger but also a bit converted by giving her another expression.
