WMM '20 - Spears (Part 1)

Lots of minis with spears (broadly defined to fit all the figures together with a theme) this time...

First up, some To-Tanem Spearmen conversions. This guy was the hammerer standard bearer. I took off the standard and added a plastic GW spear bit from skeletons, I think. His shield is one from Forge of Ice, because I got a bunch of them and wanted some variation for the spearman unit.

This next To-Tanem got another plastic spear bit added to the handle of his hammer. His shield is one of the blanks from Crocodile games. To make him look a little less like the hammer-wielding guy I've already got a couple of in the Hammer unit, I gave him a poorly sculpted hat. His chest strap thing blends into his skin too much in these pictures.

Below we've got a couple other To-Tanem spear conversions- these were all started roughly the same time (far too long ago!) and since have been joined by some actual To-Tanem spearmen sculpts from Crocodile Games.

Here we've got a Copplestone cavewoman who got a polearm and a shield from Crocodiel Games. She's been partially painted for far too long so I knew I had to finish her now or melt her down for scrap.

Above we have the Spearwoman with a Dark Fable mini and a converted Crocodile Games priestess. Below the Spearwoman is meeting with the Sleazy Merchant from Forge of Ice and his little Goblinoid friend from Dark Fable.

This guy is from West Wind's Lucifer's War range of minis. I liked the look of him to be used in my stalled out Babylonian Warband project.

Even though the wings for these figures from West Wind all seem to be the same piece, I like them.

Below we've got the latest Babylonian Sorcerer next to the first one for he Babylonian Warband.

Finally we've got the Battlescythe Asar Blade Dancer from Crocodile Games. Another great sculpt by Chris Fitzpatrick...

Below we've got the Battlescythe Blade Dancer with the Double-Sword Blade Dancer. I feel like the older painted one may need a touch up with some more color for the cloth- but maybe not.

WarGods Minis Month'13 Update 7

 11 Phantom Warriors completed for use as the Isis Harbinger power of the same name.

Somehow I came into a batch of the Arcane Legions Egyptian minis. I knew right away that they had to be done up as Phantom Warriors because I didn't want to convert any of the Crocodile Games Asar minis just to be ghosts. There are a handful left that will bring the total unit to 15 or 16 (though it's not likely you'd ever need that many in most games, but you never know).

And here we have the Isis Harbinger who just summoned these guys up for battle..

More Black Quills and the Scorpion MoW

There are more pics at the main minismith's blog of these three. Here's a comparison shot of the Scorpion-themed Mistress of Words and the 2 newest Kekooee Seshket objectives.

And an alternate view of the Mistress of Words from the front. This is definitely one of my Top 5 Favorite Fitz female sculpts...

Isis Redo Completed

The shield for her to stand on was easy enough to finish. the real hard part was finding some really small bits for my pin vise that would allow me to extend the hole for pinning the spearhead so it would be more secure than ever before. After the spearhead was securely attached and the Gorilla Superglue dried for about a day I was ready to throw it all together...

Overhead view to show off how the shield fits on the base.

Finally, a comparison view of the original base next to the 'standing on a Typhon shield' base suggested by Alex. THANKS ALEX!

So my first Isis Harbinger miniature is once more ready to take to the tabletop and exact righteous vengeance on those who have caused such grief to her Goddess. But there are at least tow more Isis minis I have. Hopefully we'll see another version soon, if we dare...

Isis Redo Underway

Thoth's beak, this is a bit more of an undertaking than I expected. It's not the details and process that's getting to me. It's the fact that this was one of my personal favorite minis I've ever done and I'm hacking and drilling at it. Nerve-wracking stuff, this, but progress despite constant fear of a slip...

Special "thanks"  to Alex for his suggestion to put her on a shield so she'd be taller and not drag the spear anymore. Thanks. When I removed her from the base I saw that I had actually built it up with some layers of plasticard stuff. But it was too late to go that route again- a Typhon shield has been sacrificed to the cause. there was a lot of glue and filler around her tab that had to be scraped off (more horror!) before I could snip off the tab.

I need some new really tiny pin vise bits to extend the hole in her spear shaft, so this is the stopping point on the fix for now...
