El Prez' Extraordinary Victorian Gentlemen (& Ladies)

[Elprez]

 
And a (Foundry) Sikh



I have a squad of 10 Gurkhas (painted), and a squad of 10 Sikhs (unpainted, but undercoated), but as figures tend to come in packs of 4, I usually have a figure
or two left over. Sometimes it'll be a duff pose, but in most cases, they're useful for mixed companies for skirmish games like IHMN.

Chugging along slowly, here's Charley and a Mummy
(from Musketeer, and North Star)

And do you know of anyone producing Victorian children miniatures? Preferably street-kid types...

West Wind has some:

And these, although not to your specs:

Foundry has some street urchins:

EDIT:

Oh, and btw, your 'condition' is known as the 'butterfly syndrome' - an affliction commonnly known amongst miniature collectors/gamers.

[Elprez]

Thanks Argonor.
"Butterfly Syndrome" is quite an attractive name for my affliction,  

I searched the West Wind site, because I was sure I'd seen some on offer from them, but couldn't find them, and assumed I'd got it wrong,  
These will indeed suit my needs:-



I assume there is some duplication, as there are 8 figures in the pack, but only 5 in the photo,  
The Child Vampires aren't really what I'm looking for for this company, although they are fine figures, and I may find a use for them later...
It could be cool to use them as alternative stand-ins for the "brides" in the "Entourage of Vlad Tepes, Prince of Wallachia" company for IHMN.
I've started painting a figure for Vlad, and I've chosen a possible Igor miniature.

Not really a fan of those Foundry figures at all,  . Although I do quite like their Fagin, but I already have two Fagin figures (North Star and West Wind's Empire of the Dead version)

Anyway, thanks for the fine suggestions,  
Anyone know of any other street urchin figures?

[Argonor]

Don't mention it, I make a virtue out of trying to remember each and every mini I've ever spotted, and it's whereabouts. I have one of those brains that store trivia instead of really useful facts (although miniature knowledge can - to some - be deemed useful). 

I don't know what the children in the Kindernacht 'wagon cage' look like (maybe they are child vampires), but I intend to find out - I am painting for Chaos in Carpathia atm, and I'll definitely need some more of the Vampire Wars stuff.

[Elprez]

Definitely useful, 
I think the West Wind street urchin pack must contain 4 figures, each duplicated. I have ordered, and will post pictures here if it's any different.
When you pick up the Kindernacht wagon, I would certainly appreciate pictures if you are able to post?

A couple of villains. "Marlon Kurtz" and an "evil doctor", both Heroclix repaints.

It will take a while before I get there, but eventually...
I usually post here when I've painted somthing - and in more detail on my blog. Right now I have a lot to do preparing for my mini-con in May (Argonor's Attic Attack), and also quite a few painting projects queued up.

I like your KingPin repaint, btw.

A British officer, and a dinosaur-hunting lord




And these are what I'm working on at the moment, to round out my Russian company



(plus an accordian-playing sailor piloting a steam walker)

[warburton]

Nice!

[Elprez]

A walker for the Society of Thule

 

Vlad Tepes is almost done, and I have an Igor figure.
I'm just trying to decide whether to give him more of a hump, 
I've chosen which figures to use for Vlad's "brides" (West Wind females from the Empire of the Dead Kickstarter)
I'm even considering a particular (Horrorclix) figure that I may use as a "bride" for Igor....
Oh, and I have some (West Wind) wolves which will be perfect.

[Argonor]

Nice clank! Where's it from?

[Elprez]

Warmachine. A dwarf boxed set. He comes with a drill rather than a gun originally.
The head and gun are GW. The head is form an Epic Titan, I think, and the gun is an Eldar heavy weapon.

[Argonor]

You really mix and match a lot. 

I think the Lord on dino is a Bauhaus rider with Space Marine arms, and an explorer head?

[Elprez]

Found a pic of the original Warmachine model.
He's from a set called "Gorten Grundback", comes with a dwarf warcaster, and 3 little "cannon robot" things, which I'm definitely going to find a use for at some point,  



And yes, you're pretty much right about the dinosaur-hunting lord,  
He needs the extra armour when hunting dinosaurs.
He's got 2 companions (part-painted at the moment). One is a (Napoleonic?) Foundry British officer on a GW Empire heavily armoured horse, and the other is a Foundry American Indian on a GW Cold One.
They also have some docile-looking pack-dinosaurs to carry their equipment.

I picked up some large-ish dinosaurs with a part-work magazine aimed at youngsters (the first few issues are always cheap).
So I guess they'll be on Dinosaur Safari on Venus, or in some long-lost forgotten valley.

And, yes, I do like to mix and match a lot. It can be fun to create a unique character figure,  

[Elprez]

I tend to collect figures I like first, and then find a use for them later.
