Human Templar Knights of the God of Death Command - Greens

Looks like for some reason I forgot to upload these sculpts by Mick Darpa for the Command group for the Templar Knights of the God of Death. The rank and file were shown earlier here.

The Champion's helmet is inspired by the Lord model in the MB/GW Battlemasters game, always a favourite with me. He's sporting a cloack covered in Raven feathers, because he's special.

The musician is a sturdy fellow who can get away with having only a bird on his helmet to show his allegiance:

The standard bearer:

These are scheduled to be mastermoulded this week or the next, so productionmoulding hopefully won't be too far behind on both the command and the rank and file.

Renaissance Goblin and Halfling range on Kickstarter

For those of you who missed it, my former goblin and (slim) halfling range, as sculpted by Kevin Adams, is currently being kickstarted by the new owner for re-release under the Shortwars label.

Aside from bringing back the main range, the kickstarter includes several expansions of the range that I never got around to, such as archers, goblin cavalry and an all new range: renaissance beastlings! Renaissance trolls and ogres are also available. 

Only 6 days left and plenty of stretch goals to unlock, so get over there and pledge now!

Dwarf Knights of the Great Bear on Foot - Greens

It's been a while since there's been another update on the dwarfs, but John just sent me the final pictures for the next two sets: Dismounted Dwarf Knights of the Great Bear: 8 models including full command.

First, the Captain and Sergeant for the unit. I included the center pictures because they give a frontal look at the models, but note that the hammers on those were still WIP and final look is as shown on the left side of the image:

Standard Bearer and musician:

4 full plated, fur cape wearing, hammerwielding helpings of dwarven wrath:

A closer look at the individual models:

I think John did a good job on these and they are the best of all the dwarven footknights we had done. They wouldn't look too out of place with the Ewal Dvergar either.

Human Witchhunter Greens, part 2

The (for now) final installment of the Witchhunter set, all sculpted by Mick Darpa in a deliberate 90's style. 

This band of witchhunters travel with a cleric for some moral and divine support. Of course, given the nature of their calling, it's a cleric of the God of Death, so the grim appearance and the skullfaced mask might not lift the group's morale much, but you can't have everything.

A minor update to the witchhunter with pistols from last time, in the form of the addition of a small dagger to the backside:

Mounted Human Knights Available

The mounted knights have been added tot the Getting Some section.

Mounted knights from different knightly orders, sculpted by FP. Note, due to the aim to keep these as modular as possible, these kits are only for advanced modelers and will require some filing and filling for optimal results, as well as the need to pin the feet to the base once you have combined the horse bodyparts into the desired position. This was unavoidable as different combinations lead to different angles for the legs.

A full set of 6 knights with all the options weighs in at around 500g, which accounts for the pricetag.

This was unavoidable as different combinations lead to different angles for the legs.

What you pay: £20 for one set or £36 for two sets

Human Witchhunter Greens

I've long wanted to get some Renaissance Witchhunters figures done, clad in heavy armour and with the iconic hats. The idea probably goes back to some conversions I saw several decades ago that left a general impression with me. The armoured dollies made for the footknight figures offered a good base to jump off from. All three models sculpted by Mick Darpa.

Witchhunter Captain With No Name. Very loosely based on the Man With No Name and a certain H.S., he loves his cigars almost as much as he loves the way a plan comes together. His heavy broadsword is the perfect tool for chopping up all manner of undead and witchbreed.

Witchhunter Pistolier. Because sometimes it's just nice to put some distance between you and the enemy.

Witchhunter specialising in vampire control. Armed with a warhammer and a set of wooden stakes. You don't want to run into him if you're a child of the night, especially with that neckguard protecting him from your bite.

Renaissance Human Footknight Command sets available now!

The command sets for the Generic Footknights and Order of the White Boar Footknights are available through this blog now!

WKM-10: Generic Footknight with plumed helmets command: £9

Getting Some Renaissance Fantasy Humans

You've looked allover the blog and drooled at some of the wonderful specially commissioned figures (just admit it, there is no shame) and now you want to get some.

As exposed elsewhere on the blog, this is first and foremost a private project and not a commercial venture and there are no plans at present to make it one. This blog is not a webshop and I am not a company. This being said, I understand the cruelty of dangling these in front of you and then saying you can't get any. So, on these pages, I will offer the possibility to buy some as long as supplies last. The aim here is not to earn a profit, everything that is left after deducting the (various) costs will be invested back into getting more figures made.

So the easiest way would be to write your wants list in an e-mail and send it to wknight192@live.be, along with your address and we will get back to you with a shipping quote.

Pack prices are indicated in the "Getting Some" section and are subject to change if the costs go up.

Shipping is at cost. Outside the UK postage will be Air Mail Small Packets unless "signed for" is requested.

What you pay: £4.25

What you pay: £4

Content pictures:

* THE WHITE KNIGHT

This ageing knight is clad in shiny white armour, with a helmet shaped after a horse's head and carries some frankly odd equipment. Upon mention of his presence in the Empire, it is said the Graf's new wife reacted with visible shock, suggesting perhaps that this White Knight may have traveled from the same place whence she came.

WKM-84: The White Knight (1) (sculpted by Drew Williams)

What you get: 1 White Knight body + 2 horse halves + 2x reins. No bases included.

Note: the reins are a fragile part in this kit, which is why I include a spare copy. Try not to break them both. :)

What you pay: £12

Halfling Rooster Rider Chickstarter!

If, like me, you've been waiting (im)patiently for the halfling rooster riders to be released, the wait is over and my friends at The Assault Group are launching them (as well as the back catalog of halflings if all goes well) through Kickstarter now:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/584137481/tag-28mm-halfling-militia-rooster-rider-miniatures

It seems that while I was posting this, they are already funded too!

Some gorgeous painted pictures to let you drool:

Halfling Mounted Archer Greens

Coming soon to a The Assault Group Kickstarter near your home, the second Halfling Light Cavalry Rider option (to go with the roosters): mounted archers, sculpted by Juan Montaño.

Human Templar Knights of the God of Death - Greens

After the generic "Imperial" footknights and the Knights of the White Boar, it is now the turn to present the Templars of the God of Death: human knights armed with greatswords and displaying skull and raven heraldry, two subjects generally associated with their patron god.

The Order specialises in fighting undead, though they will of course oppose evil in any form where it is encountered.

The figures are sculpted with Mick Darpa and a command set will be added.
