Knights of the Great Bear Greens - More pictures

I received some better looks at the figures from yesterday's post from the sculptor, so feast your eyes on these:

The Champion of the Order

The (first) 5 rank and file knights:

The Musician and Standard bearer

Knights of the Great Bear on foot - Greens

Mick Darpa has delivered another set of (in my opinon) characerful sculpts with an oldschool bent. This is another set of knights templar (on foot). These belong to the order of the Great Bear. They are wearing heavy fur cloaks, made from the skins of bears they killed themselves and wield impressive great hammers that strike fear in the hearts of their enemies just by looking at them.

The champion of the unit looks unimpressed by the enemy. He'll lift his hammer when they get close enough to smell their breaths... The bearhead adorning his helmet could also be painted differently to represent a particularly ugly direwolf if you prefer.

The musician goes into battle armed with a "small" warhammer, to keep his other hand free in case his needs to blow his horn.

The proud standard of the unit. No frills, just a carved bear's head to show what they are about.

The first 5 rank and file Great Bear templar. I will post more pictures from different angles when I get them. A second set of rank and file figures, with bare heads, will be converted from these after moulding.

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.

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.

Knights of the White Boar on foot - Greens

It's been a while without any new greens, but that's about to change now. I've previewed the Boar Knight command set a while ago and Mick Darpa has just finished these rank and file knights for the Order. There are five poses, displaying all new boar heraldry in their helmet crests and shields. These will be armed with the same morning stars as the command set, as that is their orders prefered weapon, but will be fully compatible with the spare weapons included in the "vanilla" human footknight sets with plumes and feathers.

All 5 variants:

5 new themed shields:

A closer look at each knight:

 And a reminder of what their command group looks like (more on them here):

Human Footknight Greens 6 - Knights of the White Boar Command

Now that the "vanilla" footknights have been released and I'm waiting on castings for their command, here's a preview of the command set for the first of the themed footknight orders, the knights of the White Boar.

Human Footknight Greens 5 - Handweapon and shields Set 2

Last set of the generic footknights by Mick Darpa, the second set of 5 footknights with various handweapons and shields.

 

As a reminder, they will come with a selection of handweapons:

And a set of undecorated shields:

Finally, a last look at all ten models:

Human Footknight Greens 4 - Twohanded Swords Set 2

Mick Darpa has been busy converting the footknight models for more variants. Here is the second group of five models:

This concludes the sculpting for the generic footknights with twohanded swords (there will be more, but for a different knightly order). Here's a final look at all ten models:

Human Footknight Command Greens

Next up from Mick Darpa, a command set for the footknights.
