Well, in any event, it's too late to change now as these have been out for a while. Still, they look fine to me:

sorry, @ Mason is right.

No I actually meant this one, and the lookalikeness stops with the ankles  :D  (no, the face looks better than the original too - is that sparkling green stuff?  :`)

I think the miniature is just gorgeous

Last one to make up the set of 5 human zombies, an unhorsed reiter zombie by Mick Darpa


The full set of 5 Renaissance zombies (3 landsknechts, 1 reiter and 1 gen d'armes) in a shocking display of my increasingly bad photography. Sculpted by the talented Mick Darpa and in the mail to Peter Brown shortly.



Nice stuff.

Painting up some of the gobbos...finally :D

Those zombie heasx should be pimped for the like of  rennaisance gamers etc (if they are separate) may get you some more sales on heads if not just the minis :D

May be a small roder inbound for some dwarf women :D

Hmmm. The heads are integral to the bodies on the zombies, but I may look into beheading a set of mastercastings when I get them back. ;D

Worth a try I think :)

Mick Darpa has finished the first of the body dollies, helmet blanks and weapons for my human foot knights. The idea is to have the dollies and bits moulded and then have various different knightly orders and command sets sculpted on them. I will probably also make the body dollies available as such, for converters who want to use plastic arms and heads on them.

These are the first three. There will be more body variants (6 in all) and for those concerned about the first body not having fully armoured legs, there will be a fully armoured variant converted after moulding.







The helmets are just blanks at this point. After moulding, these will be decorated with various feathers, plumes and icons to reflect different knightly orders. The first knightly orders will likely reflect the ones I created for my Dwarf knights ("vanilla" Imperial knights, White Boar, Great Bear, Raven & skulls) though others may appear.



These are some of the weapons that will get used in the various sets. Where possible, I will try to make the weapon hand a separate part, so you can mix and match and aren't restricted to specific weapon options for specific knightly orders.

Yes, that was just to indicate size. It does look a bit big, though should look better once the arms are arrached. In any case, they will come with properly sized heads and the figures are the same size as the old metal reiksguard knights.

Very 4th/5th edition, I highly approve!  You certainly have hired a great talent in Mick Darpa, he has churned out some great work.  The weapons especially are great!

One comment, the vertical lines on the second and third breastplates seem a bit soft, or less defined, than the rest of the details.  Is this intentional or is it perhaps the angle?  It seems like it might be harder to pick out those details if they are not sharp enough.

Will there be any bare heads made?  I am thinking of the wild hair from the old mounted white wolf knights.

I haven't seen them in person yet and they may be sharper than apparent, but they are dileberately subtle in any event.

There might.  :)

fantastic!  I looks like I'll be able to sell on my duplicate citadel foot knights! Yay!

Keep up the good work
