Gritty fantasy - THE HORDE page 4

Very cool aesthetic. Definitely feel the decay. Your colour choices and weathering draw them all together. Very nice variety of conversions, too.

This is great fun, you should solicit donations of everyone's leftover bitz!

Such a massively random concoction of so many different plastic parts, yet strangely, it all hangs together really well. Great work. Ultimate kitbashing - just throw it all in and make sense of it with the painting and fluff. 

Thank you Captn' I think you had it right. The main point here was to make an army (well, two actually) out of single leftover parts. Except for the caped horses, that were altogether unused, the rest of the models come from sprues that didn't contain more than six or seven whole models, so couldn't fit in any "stand alone" project. The rather extreme gritty speed painting is the cement I needed to make them somehow stay together and not fall apart.

Thank you Peithetairos (is there a pun in your name?)! I'm glad you liked them!

LOL! That would be a cool idea, but opposite to my needs! In fact I'm trying to get rid of my leftover bits with this project!

Great collection. It fits together well.

Plus one to that.

Thank you, gentlemen, I appreciate.

And so, my first Warband is complete. Here's the setup for Lion Rampant: Back to front and left to right: Bowmen @4, Mtd Sergeants @4, Foot Sergeants @4, Mtd Men at Arms @6, Foot Yeomen + Javelins @4, Bidowers @2.

I agree with Captain Blood’s comment above... t all hangs together, ultimate kitbashing. You have created your own, distinctive style.

The Phantom Phusilier Phalanx is back! The ghost musketeers are now skulking behind their rusty pavises.

[midismirnoff]

And this is the last batch: pavisiers and wee folk defending the Phusiliers.

Really imaginative and nicely executed.

Glad you like it, Elk!

The Green Cavalry, despite its name, is made up of seasoned cavalrymen, who raid the weakest parts of the Koolist deployment. The Sheriffs are mainly an infantry force, and can boast no Knights, and so the Green Cavalry is sometimes given the duty to punch through enemy lines. In such occasions, it lingers behind the Phantom Phusilier Phalanx until enemy lines are disordered, to unleash its brutal charge.

Some hordelings o' mine.

Your work continues apace, & continues nicely.
I would be interested to see you do a similar take on some scenery to go with those troops.
