You will recall my very first AHPC post, for the AHPC VI 'Nostalgia' theme round. For some very meta theme nostalgia, I'm revisiting the subject ten years later.
These Merry Men are from Slave 2 Gaming. I did them quickly with Speedpaints, and they came out OK in the end. Absolution Green, Forest Sprite, Pallid Bone, Hardened Leather and Satchel Brown were staples, with a few other greens and browns for variety.
I asked the Antipodean chat what colour Maid Marion's dress should be, and blue was the answer. I painted Will Scarlet scarlet, but it's the sculpt for Alan-a-Dale with a lute on his back.
I also found the missing Bretonnian squire, and did a quick paint job on him. I really should have spent time doing highlights, he's a lovely Perry sculpt. Maybe later. You can buy these figures again now, $A15 each...
20x figures resisting the tyranny of King John, 100 points
+ 50 for the theme
Looking great Barks
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dave!

ReplyDeleteCheers, Peter!
DeleteGreat work and great nostalgia. First ever AHPC post all those years ago..where does the time go?
ReplyDeleteYeah, no idea.
DeleteGreat stuff mate! Fab to see Drew's figures all painted up!
ReplyDeleteI've had them for a while, this was a great opportunity!
DeleteThat's superb Barks, love the mix of colours and the setting is great
ReplyDeleteThanks, it was fun!
DeleteWow, that is some nostalgia for sure. Love the link to your first post. On top of that, this is some fabulous brushwork and I especially like Will Scarlet. Top marks for 'Resistance'!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Curt, I play the long game!
DeleteA great return to your roots. Both sets of merry resistance fighters are wonderful though as a Bretonian player in my youth I have to admit to favoring those.
ReplyDeleteYeah, if I tripped and fell into the Old World, Bretonnians would be a contender...
DeleteGreat work Barks. I have a couple of these in my lead pile and you've made me want to give them some love
ReplyDeleteRobin needed some more men!
DeleteBarks I like the theme and the backstory-figures have character and are painted just right for men in Lincoln green
ReplyDeleteThat’s me!
DeleteIt was a good chance to experiment with different shades.
DeleteLovely work on the colours Barks
ReplyDeleteThanks, Richard!
DeleteGreat work Barks.
ReplyDeleteAs a Nottingham lad, I know I shouldn't say it but he did not exist :D
Not listening!
