Orcs II

More Uruks, mixed metal and plastic. Drum is the converted mine of the siege uruks.

Siege of Neuss - Part XVII

Wanted to finish them last year already but was interrupted pleasantly by the release of the Perry foot knights. Here they are now - more defenders of Neuss with crossbows and handguns.

Jagdpanther

My favourite German WWII tank thanks to its iconic design, the Jagdpanther. Trumpeter kit and Grubby tank riders in 1/72.

WIP: Horses

With regard to the Waterloo bicentenary in June I will bring on some Perry napoleonics during the course of 2015, starting with these fellows.

Tzeentch Warrior No. 8

And thats a new one. My first finecast figure actually. It had same minor miscasts but altogether nothing I hadnt seen on forgeworld figures before, so I cant really say that its as bad as everybody says it is. The figure itself got a bit converted: I replaced the ridiculously oversized blade on its shoulder with a crow, changed the staff from left to right, gave the evil twin a tentacle arm and replaced the weaponry.

Orcs

Uruks, actually. It was around Christmas last year, the traditional time they show Harry Potter and LOTR films in German TV, that I got the idea for doing some orcs. I have to admit I was never a huge fan of the LOTR films, too much mainstream fantasy and too much Hollywood for my taste. Imagine what could have happened if someone like Hayao Miyazaki instead of Mr. "Braindead" decided to take a chance on Tolkien ;-). However, what I did like was Jacksons depiction of the orcs, their rather human appearance instead of some Warhammerish monsterkin with heads between their shoulders.
So I got this cheap ebay deal with lots of broken pole weapons that I replaced with Perry metal yari. I struggled with the colour scheme a bit. The first trial model had the films black armour and brownish skin but turned out too dark.

Burgundian Artillery - Part I

It appeared to me lately that I am really short of artillery for a siege theme. Since Charles was an outspoken friend of these modern weapons of warfare, I will expand his artillery park during this year. A Perry cannon and crew for a start.
