Imperial Troubadour Conversion

A conversion of the Hasslefree Miniatures minstrel into an Imperial Troubadour:

Dwarf With No Name

The Dwarf With No Name. A really old, preslotta GW figure. TBH, it was not very enjoyable to paint, rather rough sculpting. But it's a classic. He'll fit in fine as a militia/bountyhunter/witchhunter type.

Dwarf Crossbows - Part 7

2 more converted dwarves with crossbows. The first one is a major conversion on one of the classic citadel drunken dwarves. He was dressed in medieval HYW style clothes, so I sculpted on the puffy sleeves and the yellow overcoat and resculpted the belt (minus the buckle which is the original one).

The second one is only a minor conversion: the addition of the red tied ribbon on his shoulder and the sleeve on the other arm was made a bit wider, so he fits in a bit better with the empire theme (the shoes were perfect already):

A group shot of the crossbow regiment so far (still a couple more figures to add to it):

Orcs with Spears - Part 4

Two more Foundry orcs for the orc spearmen unit (technically, these two are more halberds, but I'm using them as spears).

The Imperial greenskins so far:

Gobbo With No Name

Another Foundry figure, sculpted by Kev Adams. The Gobbo With No Name.

Dwarf Crossbows - Part 6

Two more Marauder crossbow dwarves, both convert to some extent. The first one got a greenstuff feather and some puff and slash added to make him a bit more interesting/renaissance-ish. This one had the yellow vest and the blue puffy sleeves added with greenstuff.

Village Of Fear Buildings

A while ago, I've been rummaging through some of the old boxes in my parents garage because 15-20 years ago I had a couple hero-quest type boardgames and one of them was called the "village of fear" and came with a load of part plastic and part cardboard buildings à la mordheim. I wasn't expecting much of them since these things tend to look bigger and cooler in our childhood memories, but when I found and opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised. They are a VERY good size and nicely detailed (not as crisp as the current warhammer buildings, but then these are almost 20 years old). I'm planning to replace the cardboard walls with some nice, 3-dimensional new ones and they should look very good when done. I especially like the windmill bits. They're all depicting buildings in bad state, with holes in the roof, but they'll do for the more neglected parts of town. The Mayor's house:

The Miller's ... um... mill:

The ruined inn:

The ruined... ruins. The chimney and the decorative entrance will be scavenged for other, new buildings:

The set also had small flasks and a few pairs of boots with wings (magic items) in the proper scale.
