Medieval Mayhem Characters

Here are the latest of my completed miniatures for Medieval Mayhem, no doubt some very familiar faces here!

We have Arthur's wife, the lovely Guinevere:


brave, brave) Sir Robin's accompanying minstrels:


Some taunting Frenchmen:


An old man from a bridge, muttering something about birds...


An enchanter:


Sir Noere:


The Knights of Ni


And of course the Black Knight


Studio have created a second Black Knight figure, who can be in various stages of dismemberment


I naturally opted for the completely dismembered look for my Zombie Black Knight!


Right, there you have it, all of the awesome miniatures from Studio Miniatures for Medieval Mayhem! And have I mentioned yet that Medieval Mayhem is available NOW from skirmishoutbreak.com?

No survivor Friday due to in-laws being in town. Will catch up on it Monday....

Medieval Mayhem miniatures- Squires!

Right, so following on from the knights last week, this week we have their trusty squires!

These miniatures come from Studio Miniatures, and they are really cleverly detailed, the baggage loads they carry have lots of little quirky things, which really add to the character of the models. I have again tried to stay true (ish) to the original characters, but have taken a fair bit of artistic license- especially with the baggage loads!

Anyway on to the pictures...

King Arthur's Squire




Sir Bedevere's Squire



Sir Lancelot's Squire



Sir Galahad's Squire



Sir Bors' Squire



Sir Robin's Squire



And the whole group together


Next up? More miniatures, and some terrain!

Medieval Mayhem miniatures- Knights!

It is a hive of activity here as we prepare Medieval Mayhem for launch in December.

One of the main activities is me putting some paint on the Medieval Mayhem miniatures! Luckily for me Studio sent me some of the figures early so I got a headstart into painting, so I will be posting up my painted versions of the miniatures in the build up to the release of the book. If you want to get your hands on a set of the miniatures, once they are ready they will be available from the Studio Miniatures website. 

King Arthur


Sir Bedevere



Sir Galahad


Sir Bors


Sir Lancelot



Sir Robin



I am particularly happy with the freehand on the shields and coats of arms, they have come out really well I think!

Next up, the squires!

Zombtober Week 3- Conversions done!

Right, and we are back for Week Three!

.. History recalls the conflict as the War of the Roses, a battle between the house of York and the house of Lancaster. After unearthing the remains of Richard III in a carpark. Archeologists have been searching the surrounding area for further remnants of the battle. A newly unearthed mass grave near the site of Richard's burial contained a large number of remains.

All of them had their skulls crushed, and a small number had markings of human teeth on their bones...


This week's historical period is the War of the Roses, which was between 1455-1487 AD. I have made two survivors and five zombies, all from Perry Miniatures plastics, and of course for the zombies I have combined the Perry stuff with extra zombie bits from the Studio Miniatures plastic sprues.

We have two survivors- an archer and a man-at-arms...


And we have five zombies!


I mixed things up even more for this set, using some of the more "shambly" Wargames Factory legs with Perry armoured torsos, to give this group and even more shambolic approach. All it took was some cutting, and a bit of greenstuff to neaten up the joins. I am pretty happy with how they have come out, I think they are suitably shambling!

They got an undercoat this morning, so we are all go for finishing them by Sunday.

I did also realize today that there is 5 weeks (well, the last one ends on the 1st of November), so I now need to think of another historical period. Hmmmmmmm....
