Gritty fantasy - THE HORDE page 4
« on: 12 September 2020, 09:41:08 AM »
Hi there, during the past lockdown I tried to figure out how many unused sprue parts I had. They were nearly a hundred frames, from which I had picked up and nibbled here and there some pieces. That was when I firmly stated I would not buy another plastic kit before I had used everything I could from those sprues.

And so I started my project, where I build two enemy forces for Dragon Rampant using the left behind sprue parts. I hope the painting style will keep the unruly bunch together.

First wave of Koolist archers (the cult of Koolo, well established in the Squaranth Valley is growing stronger every day).

Those are some interesting kit bashes, they certainly change the look of the base figures.

Great stuff. Frostgrave + Perry is a gold mine of potential. Really nice, consistent and very atmospheric paint scheme too.

The sire administrator of the Squaranth, Captain Godollo, is mustering a force to eradicate the Koolist scum from the Valley.

Here's Captain Perforta Shtormo who joins the fray. His men may not be very fond of equipment mantainance, but they are eager to kick the Koolist scum out of the Valley.

Stunning work. Those men-at-arms are sublime. Your stuff would be great for Vanguard, if you're into skirmish games.

Thank you Tyr! To be honest I never considered that game. Is it any good?

Bonega Haveno is a large and multiethnic city port at the end of the Squaranth Valley. Its militia is grim yet colourful, fights for the highest bidder and plays dirty.

That's a great looking motley bunch of MAA. The gritty paint job shows them up in all their (not so) finest glory. Great work!
