Even More Stargrave Weirdos!

 This week, I painted a couple more of the Howling Banshees. I could actually make the unit up to 10 strong, but the two models I've got are duplicates, and it might look a bit odd. Given that these are unlikely to see combat, they look fine for now.

Anyhow, I didn't take any photos of them (they look a heck of a lot like the models in the last post!) but I did make some more Stargrave people.

These guys are made from old English Civil War models and a Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago crewman.

Here they are with paint. I also painted a bog-standard Stargrave mercenary (the third guy along), although I added a head from the Crewman sprue. 

The two on the left were based on English Civil War models. The guy on the left has a slightly ninja-ish feel, and I painted him in bright colours to suggest that his clothes are made of some synthetic fibre. The shape of the models, especially the baggy trousers and long socks/boots/puttees, reminded me of an rich, old-fashioned hunter, so I painted the second guy in muted colours. Perhaps he's off hunting grouse with his machine gun, which is a terrible plan for a load of reasons.

The third guy is pretty standard. I just wanted bright colours. The chap on the far right happened to have a really nice pose. I painted him as if he's been wearing formal clothes - with a cummberbund! - and has drawn a pistol to deal with rival spies.

I also took the opportunity to photograph some of the random scumbags that I've assembled, mainly based on the Stargrave Scavengers 1 models. I imagine they're a bunch of feral survivalists/cultists/yokels/guerillas/cannibals, or something like that. 

These guys are purely made from the Scavengers 1 frame:

These models are made with the Scavengers 1 frame, with other bits from North Star Games:

And these guys are made of bits from North Star and other (mainly historical) companies:

 I don't play many games, and I'm more interested in making random little guys than assembling a massive army (even my Eldar force is pretty small, at the end of the day), and I'm happy doing that. I've got a couple of bigger projects that I'd like to do over the Christmas holidays, which should be fun.
