Fantastic hun xxxxx

Weety, these empire pieces are fantastic . Flamboyant yet still grim.

Love the river troll, especially the colour gradations on his face (particularly the nose). Looking forward to seeing it with the eyes done!

I may have a load of warhammer fantasy bases if you want them

Cool thanks!

Anyways, speaking of grim flamboyance, I finished a greatsworder.

Mr Fancy-pants

Very fancy.
I like the feathers.

Very Landsknecht-looking!

They certainly ARE Fancy pants aren't they!? if anyone was going to Fancy Pants Paint them it's gotta be Weety!

Not enough color. His hose need to be green...

I thought I'd limit the number of colours just a little, I don't want it to look like I couldn't choose a paint scheme!

Now there are two;
...

That second guy is a lot more sensible in the protection department...

They look really good weety, looking forward to a whole squad.

Edit: Did I really say squad meant unit 40k has me well and truley in its evil clutches

Regiment!

Unfortunately I can't afford a whole regiment, gotta wait for funds. That's definitely in the pipeline though.

Hey Weets! For inspiration look up "german landsknecht"

Hehehehe Silly LARP-ers they do get into it don't they

I think these guys prefer the term "Historical re-enactors" but it's basically the same thing

't'aint silly. Tis Manly. I'd like to see you with the brass ones to go out in public dressed like that.

Also, FLASH.

Not only would I have the brass ones to go out in public.... i'd probably have my brass ones OUT as well!

weety, pm your address please. If you want the IG bits that is

Cool thanks bebop.

I used to know a LARPer. Always dressing up. When he wasn't in full plate armour during the everyday he used to wear a black leather biker jacket with chainmail sewn to it, said he felt naked without some form of padding.

Like the guy in the bottom pic above?^ he certainly likes to head out with some padding *cough cough crotch cough*

In Germany, at least, it's a pretty serious thing that people will spend thousands on to achieve a perfect, period authentic, costume. I've been to the Königsberg castle event in bavaria, and LARP is not really descriptive when you have thousands of people there and the jousters go full tilt and bash the hell out of each other. Army encampment hundreds of people strong, medieval stalls (none of which sold the typical fairy, new age, or other schlock that would have seen you burnt in the middle ages), full jousting arena that seated thousands of people and jousters from around the world that went at it full bore.

See all the annual Battle of Hastings reenactment. I was there in 2012, and there were over 1000 guys on the battlefield with horse included. There were maybe 50ish knights on horse, and somewhere around 600-700 Norman foot vs say 300-450 English foot at the top of the ridge. Out either side is a full military encampment with nothing not period authentic.

Also Sherwood Forest's Festival of History, with encampments dating back to the Romans up through modern british military. All perfectly authentic.

Comparing them to LARP or US Ren Faires isn't really fair. They aren't the 'I use my plus three longsword of slaying....' scene (now there are plenty of those people who also do this sort of thing, but there are also plenty who don't).

That's true..no foam swords etc. Around here, we have American Civil War re-enactments like that, all the muskets are really packed (without lead of course) and shot, full cavalry with Horses, etc. Quite a sight to see. Those guys spen the weekends camping, eating, and living like they did as well for the whole experience.

That sounds like something I'd like to see someday.

I've been trolling today:

Lol trolling bits will be in post monday

Spectacular!

Very nice, Weety. Great job.

Thanks peeps.

Cool miss dee - shall I post pics of the model when its assembled?

There will be a few more trolls soon, I just need to make a troll foot out of greenstuff and find a large square base. Work has begun on the prosthetic troll foot. How hard can it be?

Got a 1993 vampire in the post today. I shall give him the classic blood red and black silk look, with very pale blue-tinted skin

Also more skaven! They are in the stripper under another river troll. Pics later I promise!

Bloody hell Weety that Troll is brilliant! I am especially in awe of the way you've done the scales on the back! very nicely done and suits it spot on! :-)

Beautiful work! more goodies in the post soon.

That's the prettiest ugly troll ever!

that troll reminds me of his look of the vogons of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy... you feel almost sorry for trying to bash him ...

happy new year weety, i too like that fantasy theme you´re vibrating with!

cheers, vik
