Fair to say I've been overdoing Admins recently, so have decided this will be the last lot for now - need to get on with my S&S Amazons...

| As I've now got both officer and halberdier on a mould, plus the recently discovered mounted Warrior, I thought it would be a good idea to do sections of Militia/Palace Guards/City Guards suitable for both Alice and Dorothy projects. In the event, mainly because I want to spend time on Amazons, I finished up just doing a Dorothy section. |

| Figures aren't itended to look like anything from the books or film, just to have an Emerald City 'feel' about them. So the balloon motif on the shield is a direct reference to the wizard. |

| The uniform had to be green of course. I haven't painted these figures in any detail - should probably have painted in the eyes for example. |

| While the helmet crest paints up quite nicely to represent Dorothy. Bear in mind the crest is 6mm tall :) |
Scale wise, these figures are about 30-32mm tall so a lot bigger than my 25mm Dorothy and Alice figures - I can live with that for a fantasy world!
They have painted up very nicely and should look good on the table and being a palace guard allows the height difference as these boys should be the biggest and the best.
ReplyDeleteThough with Emerald City armies the word 'best' is purely relative.
