Joseph Bugman's Rangers (first incarnation) [PICS]
« on: June 03, 2011, 08:03:15 AM »
'Hello all! As a commission for Phreedh I painted these rather nice Bugman's Rangers, I thought you might enjoy them! I mostly followed the description provided on the Stuff Of Legends site and decided on green as a colour for the shields to go with all the browns:

http://www.solegends.com/citrr/rr01bugman.htm

I tried to duplicate the shield design on Bugman's shield and also painted on the tankard and battle-cry on the banner. The bases will be done by the customer himself. Anyway, on to the pics!


The entire group. I still think it would look nicer when ranked up but of course this is nicer for skirmish forces, as they are intended.


A shot of the backs, the cloaks turned out a bit more blotchy than I meant to.

Now on to shots of the individual figures:







I hope you enjoyed these and I hope it wasn't an overload of models ;)
Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly
Before the storm begins

You lucky man Phreedh!

Nice work Pil - shield and banner designs came out tops - love the greens and browns too.  :)

WOW Pil those are Awesome...love your color choices and of course your technique is fantastic!  In all my time with WFB and loving dwarfs I don't know if I've ever seen this entire unit painted up...now I want them... ;D

Cheers,

Thank you all, they were truly a joy to paint and I hope some day Phreedh will find the missing musician and champion for me to paint  :D

I've never seen a properly painted version of this unit either but then again, in fact I had never seen these models properly at all. The Bugman and Standard bearer were especially nice. The warriors were also decent but half of them were made of lead, including rot, and were bulkier than the other half. The non-bulky models looked a lot better than the bulky ones in the flesh.

VERY WELL DONE! I did those Little Guys up for a friend...they are indeed a pleasure to paint. You managed to make all the duplicates look somehow different; each with their own little personality. I hope the missing Champion shows up; he's the coolest Lad in the group.

Oh wow!

Always avoided early regiments because the figures where too samey - totally breathtaking!

It works pretty good with how we play SBH (and possibly Skulldred in the future) - a few heroes and a bunch of low stat henchmen types to bolster the ranks and give the heroes something to bash. =D

Here is a link to my own Bugman Rangers Command stand that I completed some time ago. I hope that you like it.

Very, very nice. Repeat the comment about making them look individual but totally cohesive.

Ooh, very nice, I'm kind of glad though I didn't see any other painted examples before I painted these, but it's cool to see them afterwards! :)

Great work on those and it really highlights how nice the models are. I also noticed both examples were also missing the champions :(

Thanks all for the kind words!

These are gorgeous (in a bluff, Dwarven, non-sexual sort of way).


I don't think the champion models were very popular for any of these first RoR sets - I don't own any champions for the sets I have, I think at the time we were very sceptical about the whole 'platic base' thing and probably few were bought. Of course, the originals had also been on sale for around 2 years before the champion sets were released so there are just more of the originals around.
