I was a little enamored with the character of Lord Wellsley for the last game, and thought he ought to be a recurring figure in my solo campaign. I love the thought of old knights in rusty armor pledging themselves to a last crusade and what not. So, I took a few of the last handful of medieval figures I have unpainted, and dolled it up!
Above are Lord Wellsley in plate, his squire in the appropriate livery, a retinue archer with gambeson and helm, and finally the wagon my brother-in-law 3D printed me. I’m very proud of freehanding the clean lines between red and blue, I’m hoping to continue improving my painting skills in preparation for Christmas…
Here’s the wagon by itself, pre-varnish. I’m very proud of it, mainly to show off that my family is supportive of my hobby!
As the final note of this post, thank you to everyone who reads and comments. Many of you have blogs that I’ve followed for years, so I feel very much like a hobbit at the council of Elrond! Thanks for inspiring me to start a blog, and inspiring me to continue with your kind words and your own blog posts!
Nice job, now you have to buy more figures...
ReplyDeleteThey figures and wagon have turned out very well indeed.l was thinking that at the level of game you are currently playing a single box of 20mm figures would allow you to game another period. Perhaps you might like to imagine the characters/ place you game in on the tabletop in the 17th, 18th or 19th century. The descendants of these splendid medieval folk. I have spare plastic 20mm or even 25mm which l would be delighted to send you. Let me know what you think…
ReplyDeleteThat would be wonderful, honestly, and I am humbled by the offer! How can we work that out? If you have PayPal, I can gladly pay for postage and more. Thank you a dozen times over!

Let me know if that link works, I’m not used to posting links in the comments and what not!
The link has worked, thank you.
DeleteNice brush work Sir Mardigan. I like the wagon - a bit of transport is always good in a game.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and I agree! A good wagon can be a utility, a strategic point, or an obstacle. They’re so versatile, and the basic design spans multiple periods.
