| Starting work trying to find an alternative to bow armed Amazons. Mainly two or three spear/javelin armed figures. Firstattempt is the simple method of cutting the fan of the slave girl with fan to a spear point. |
 |
| After doing a few I accidentally cut a spear point 'wrong' and it looks better! So a couple more of these made for a mould. |
 |
| Meanwhile also working on a heavier spear woman and a light javelin woman. |
 |
| Still working on the proof of concept models - I'm giving the spear woman a complete cloak rather than the scarf of the original, I need to close the hands up and I'll be a bit more careful with the angle of the shields on the arms. Overall, looking good. |
They should look really good when painted up, nice figures. A few units of them will be a great addition to your army.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteCertainly working! I wonder how the spear lady would look with a pike?
ReplyDeleteWell, the Swiss used a sort of overhead way of handling a pike, but to make the figure use the pike in a normal way would probably be more trouble than it's worth.
DeleteIf you took the pike down through both hands and raced against her right foot, maybe?
DeleteYou might also try a trident type spear head, a bit like a medieval corseque?
Still working on various options, might be a while before I settle on a couple.
DeleteLook good to me Rob.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThose work well - good choice of shields for those spear-women too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Still looking at options...
