Bloody Miniatures: The Unhorsed Cuirassier and The Village People

 Although I am a little behind in my Blogging, I have been productive. These two sets of figures from Bloody Miniatures were finished in the last half of February for the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge. BM 022, The Unhorsed Cuirassier:

And BM 023, The Village People:


These cuirassier were quick to paint up...

.... or rather, should have been, but I found a way of painting the armour that took longer than it should have without a compensatory improvement in finish.🙄


These are great figures for Pikeman's Lament; I used them in one game as Aggressive Forlorn Hope:


Although tempting to paint them all in blackened armour, I decided just this one fellow would get such a finish; I Imagine him to be their officer:


I did not anticipate enjoying painting the Village People as much as I did. 


Once again, the faces of these figures are great.


The lack of bandoliers, satchels and various necessities of war meant that there wasn't a lot of time spent painting fiddly bits.


These are great additions to a band of clubmen.


Hopefully I will be posting pictures of the next Bloody Miniatures packs before the end of the month.

  1. Beautiful work, and you have done the blackened armour perfectly. Not an easy one to get right.

  2. It's so frustrating to spend extra time on a feature and have it be barely changed from your standard work. Arg. I empathize my friend. The yellow sashes look great.
