Gandalf's thread of stuff - aSoIaF kitbashes, Oathmark etc.

Great additions

 

[Gandalf the G]

Not much has happened lately. This summer I built a few models, and one of them inspired me enough to make a whole warband to go with it.

The half-finished model in red and black is the leader. He is mostly Perry, with a plume from some Warlord romans, and a cape from fireforge. The horse has been repositioned, inspired by Captain Blood. The other knight has a head from Conquest games medieval knights, arms from Oathmark infantry, and a plume from GW Chaos warriors.

The rest of the warband is almost purely Perry miniatures from the Agincourt range.

8 spearmen
4 sword and buckler-men
12 archers
5 foot knights with two handed weapons
3 mounted serjeants/archers (1-3 more to come)
2 mounted knights (more to come, not sure how many)

Had a long period of inactivity in October-November as well, it can be a struggle. The knights look great though, well done!

Really well painted horses! How did you reposition it?

Well, there are two halves of horses that have back legs that pretty much match. Cut off the base, and you can get a kind of rearing position. I don't think it is really that realistic, but it looks pretty cool anyway. I did the same thing on one of the knights you can see on the first page of this thread.

The white horse above is remodelled ina similar, but I think simpler way than Captain Blood's and Admiral Benbow's. I simply cut one of the halves of the horse in two, along the backside of the saddle and saddlestrap(?) and glued them together again, using the unmodified other half as support while the glue sett. Fill the gap with a little green stuff, and you are done.

In the attached picture, you can see my kitbashed version of classic DnD character War Duke. Parts from Perry WotR and Agincourt, Warlord Zulu's and a shield from Shield wolf, with a GW skull on it. The Warduke needed a big sword, but the one we ended up with is actually the head of a spear from a warhammer Skeleton kit. Looks great as a sword, IMO.

Great kitbash! Looking forward to seeing it painted up!

[Grumpy Gnome]

Now that is taking kitbashing to another level!

[BZ]

Thanks! I try to apply it, my horseman are already built together, but i will see...

[Captain Blood]

Nice work Gandalf. The mounted knights look great.

[Ogrob]

Very cool!

[Ultravanillasmurf]

Nice conversions.

WIP on the War Duke! Almost done, actually.

Recently got the final sculpt of Reapers Bugbears that I am painting up for my Orc/Goblin SAGA warband, as well as another Reaper Bones model that I will use as a Sorcerer for that group. Still working on the Perry 1415 warband as well, and it is progressing slowly.

[Gandalf the G]

Slowly working on a new Perry Bros warband...

[Ogrob]

Very nice!

[Grumpy Gnome]

Looking good!
