Got the paint and brushes out and have been painting some of the civilian figures I got at Historicon. I like to set up little vignettes on my battle fields to liven things up. Animals like cats chasing mice, dogs, or foxes in the woods. Geese causing mischief. And of course civilians going about their business. Or tying to.....
These figures are from Venture miniatures. As I mentioned before they have a Edward Suren/Willie feel to them. Great fun to paint up.
Gentlemen and lady in a riding habit
Minister
Farmers
Bar maid and women
Great stuff Mark, I, too, like to dot some civilians around the place!
ReplyDeleteIt really brightens the table, and distract your opponent!
DeleteLovely work there Mark and always nice to have these sorts of figures to dress a table:).
ReplyDeleteNice variety of clothing too
DeleteGrest looking figures Mark, how do they match up to other figures size wise?
ReplyDeleteThey fit in well with Fife Drum and Foundry figures
DeleteVery nice little figures Mark…
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do have a Suren feel to them.
All the best. Aly
They do! I dud a double take when going by his table
DeleteDefinitely channelling Suren there. Nice figs!
ReplyDeleteYes they are
DeleteJust checked out the Venture Miniatures site and wound up ordering a copy of their Combat General Rules, an old school: hardcopy vs pdf. There's no word on the intewebs about them, but I know something of Nosworthy's work, so figure it will be a good source if nothing else.
ReplyDeletePlease let me know what you think of the rules. There us not much out there on this company so I hope I have helped spread the word
