Oathsworn Miniatures were new to me but my wife spotted their stand at Salute and was charmed by their anthropomorphic woodland animals.
Back home I ordered a set of figures with the aim of making a warband for Thud & Blunder.
The miniatures are not cheap to are beautifully sculpted with almost no flash or mould lines. The largest - Badger - is resin while the smaller models are metal.
Very easy models to paint, with lots of folds and sharp, well-delineated edges.
Badger equips himself with a stout stick and a brace of pistols.
Ratty has pulled out his old East India Merchant Marine uniform, with harness to carry a pistol and cutlass.
Moley is still hopeful on appealing to the Stoats & Weasels better nature by reading them uplifting passages from The Good Book - but still carries a pistol and knife, just in case.
And then there's Otter who had also been a seafaring animal in his wilder days - but not in either the Royal Navy or the Merchant Marine.
Toad's experiences with Motor Cars has caused him to eschew all modern conveniences. His latest enthusiasm is to imitate his ancient druid ancestors.
Great collection John and very well painted, sorry I didn't see you at Salute, but is a very big event
ReplyDeleteI only stood it for a couple of hours, Dave. Still working on those excellent models I bought off you at Skirmish.
ReplyDeleteLike what you have done with the figures looks like I will have to get some stoats and weasels ! oh well its only money and cubic centimetres
ReplyDeletePlans to take over Toad Hall, have you.
DeleteDear John,
ReplyDeleteWhen I reread WitW recently I was struck to realize that Mole was a committed Italian patriot.
Nothing in the book refers to gelato, however.
Dave
Italian??? Mole??? Ha!
