The first packs from Bloody Miniatures' wave 4 are The Gallant Ladies (BM 020):
And The Flying Picquets (BM 021):
I had a crack at painting yellow on this young woman...
Not entirely thrilled with how it turned out; getting the brightness and the shadows correct without it looking 'dirty' was a challenge.
The description of these ladies in the Bloody Miniatures catalogue lists several women, on both sides of the conflict that took charge of their castles and domains while their husbands were engaged elsewhere.
The sculpting of the dresses on these figures is superb.
Sadly, this young woman took a header off the painting table mid-paint job.
Even the scullery maid has been pulled into the defense of the Lord's home.
This batch, as a whole, may be my favourite of the range so far.
Their poses are perfect for skulking around, hiding in hedges....
....and scouting the enemy.
If they are lucky, they may find some unfortunate enemy person of consequence hiding in an outbuilding that they could ransom off.
These figures, like so many in the range, have just the right amount of detail.
Beautifully done as usual. I really like the colour pallet you have used, especially on that last group of figures. Terrific work.
ReplyDeleteSome vary nice figures here(and in your previous post) that might be useful in my Three Musketeers collection...... hmmmmm
