Bloody Miniatures: Second Wave Painted

 Finally, after much distraction, I have completed the second wave of Bloody Miniatures ECW figures- packs BM 007 and BM 008:

The first pack from wave 2, BM 006, I painted in October and the fourth pack, BM 009, I painted during last winter's AHPC. Pack BM 007 is The Storming Party:

With buff coats, back and breast plates, these guys are ready to smash their way in.

... and maybe even blow some shit up!

This guy will be first through the breach:

I had another crack at russeted armour; GW's Leadbelcher with a coat of slightly thinned Wyldwood Contrast paint.

Pack BM 008 is The Night Watch:

This pack features some of my favourite faces from the Bloody Miniatures range.

This guy is a bit Ol' Skool, wearing his dad's helmet:

My favourite figure of the pack. I love the casaque and the face is splendid (he looks exactly like an English friend of mine):

Painting these guys has put my mind to working on a nice little scenario; a rescue (or kidnapping, depending on your perspective). It  will require another building or two to be made so I think that may be next in the hobby queue.

Last Entry For The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

 My last entry for the AHPC was my first go at some Victrix Miniatures plastics; some Anglo-Saxon Ceorls.

8 warriors with shields and hand weapons (mostly spears), made using the bodies from the Dark Ages Archers  kit with helmeted heads, weapons and shields from the Anglo/Danes kit. 

I was originally going to base them in multiples but I couldn't decide between 40mm square bases or Impetus basing (120mm by 60mm).

This way they are perfectly usable for Saga, Ravenfeast or Lion Rampant. If needed for a larger battle there is always the movement tray option.

These are great kits and the parts from the two are easily interchangeable. Although in the past I have  not enjoyed painting shields I am starting to enjoy it.

With the AHPC over my and spring hitting this island I expect my production to slow down however I plan to slowly pick away at various ranges; I am currently working on another wave of Bloody Miniatures ECW.
