Its been a fairly quiet week or so at Rousell HQ, I have been trying to finish a few bits off painting all sorts, a few 25mm loaded wagons for the 1812 Retreat from Moscow and even more abandoned wagons, this time in 10mm for the 1812 Retreat from Moscow rules.
But the only thing that did get finished were these 4 bony archers, for my nephew Zach's, Jason & the Argonauts collection.
They were purchased at Salute this year from Crooked Dice and to say they were an easy paintjob wouldn't be telling any lies!
I did bulk a little.....ok a lot! at the price and I still can't believe I paid £18 for 4 bloody figures!
I must be mental!!
But such cool figures! Always a favorite movie of mine when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteEye-wateringly expensive figures but your nephew will love them.
ReplyDeleteNicely and quickly done, Ray. At that price I would've taken my business elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteCool figures, but £18!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely job Ray, they look great but that price is a bit much I would say.
ReplyDelete£18 and they are not even wearing any clothes! :-) Nice job ….. especially in the heat!
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting any painting done in this heat! But Christ Almighty that is a LOT of money for just 4 figures. So glad I moved to 10mm decades ago now!
ReplyDeleteHardly bare-bones pricing, but nifty figures--and they do remind me of the claymation skeletons in the classic Harry Hausen film (the standard for all skeletal warriors for people of a certain age).
ReplyDeleteGreat looking minis!
ReplyDeleteThey do look good Ray but for a few quid more you could have got 30-40 plastic ones from Wargames Atlantic - have a look on the second hand page of the Caliver site - he has had a box there for years! Bad Squiddo are at the upper edge price wise - they always have been, but I guess it costs Annie the same to get the masters done and she won't sell as many as most other manufacturers. I would get all her WW2 soviet packs, but it would probably cost me five hundred quid!
ReplyDeleteThey might be relatively easy to paint, but could also be easy to muck up in the wrong hands. Nicely done Ray.
