As you like these warriors I want to show you a couple of images of them.

A before/after pic.



And a family photo. I have two more warriors in my workdesk.



Once again I hope you like it.

Well, what can I say? Thankyou all for your kind words.
Warlord Celts, I must to remember this Sangennaru, I think isn't hard to find it in my town, and prices are cheap enough. And this is good.
Maybe tomorrow afternoon I will post some other advance.

I will paint more masks with diferent styles just for fun.

Some new photos. Just to show you some pieces of terrain.
Behind miniatures begins a kind of highlands, or maybe a Kopje emerging from the savannah, surrounded by high grass and with some little acacia trees.



Masked Warriors guard this holly land and hunt trespassers  in the same way that dangerous predators. They have a mission. To protect the great Witch Doctor at his lonely hut. The most sacred man for the seven tribes.





Just a few days and I will post some of my new works in white men expedition.

Thanks for your kind words Red Orc, your Spanish is in the same scale than my English  ;)
The wall design is take from a modern African hotel, colourful.
I’m not sure about the shields designs, I’m thinking into paint all in zebra pattern.
A great part of this fantasy atmosphere is owing to the fact that I don’t have  miniatures from suitable ranges (except some Copplestone arqueologists).
And then I answer you Plynkes. These miniatures are Games Workshop LOTR plastic UrukHai, face cut down, armour and mail cut down, and some milliput to recreate more muscle if necessary. And using masks and shields to cover some mistakes.

Thankyou all.


Excellent work !
 I like this kind of conversion : Gone from something totally different to the result.
Just like my Peons work on Perry's Medieval Korean
(right here :http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=10620.0).

The plastic used by GW is excellent for the conversion work......i don't know if the Perry's and Warlord plastic are as good as that one of GW. Does anyone can have an idea.
