Orctober challenge, episode 5: Fire power
Hi everyone! No, I’ve not been lazy, and no, I didn’t start 4 other projects before completing the Orctober challenge.
Here you some new troops, for the Empire army! Let’s start with the Arquebusiers.
I have been sticking to the color scheme chosen in episode 1: red and yellow for a Talabecland unit, black socks and jacket. The figures once again come from Redbox and Dark Dream Studio sets.
I’ve chosen a very different color scheme for my mercenary arquebusiers, mostly red and green. The test shot figure comes from Redbox set #72099 Italian Infantry (set 1) – maybe the fact that they were Italian influenced me for the color scheme 🙂
Last but not least, I’ve finished the first of my two Fire wizards, and I must admit that I am quite happy with the result.
Contrary to what my son thinks, this guy is not trying to perform a COVID testing on his enemy, but he is launching a fireball at him (yes he’s studying biology at the university – my son, not the wizard).
As some of you have guessed in episode 4, this wizard is a slight conversion of a Hät celtic druid. I tried to represent a warm light on his face and robe due to the fireball.
Hope you like them 🙂
Oh, and the progress table:
Troop type | Number of elements | figs per element | Number of figures | painted figures |
General (Knight) | 1 | 3 | 3 | 0 |
Wizard | 1 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
Knights | 2 | 3 | 6 | 3 |
Halberdiers | 2 | 4 | 8 | 8 |
Longswords | 2 | 4 | 8 | 8 |
Arquebusiers | 2 | 4 | 8 | 5 |
Fanatics | 1 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
Bombard | 1 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
Total | 12 | 43 | 33 |
If you compare with the previous posts, you will realize that the total number on figures to paint has increased – now I need 43 figures instead of 41. The reason is that I will paint 2 wizards for the wizard element, and that I’ve at last chosen the figures (and the color schemes) for the general element: 1 mounted general, 1 foot aide-de-camp and 1 foot flag bearer.
10 figures to paint, and 5 days to go => I go back to the cellar right now.
See you soon (I hope 🙂 ).
