Just some of the Right hand variatrions! |
This blog-time around, I wanted to sing to the world about a
new Kickstarter for Iron Mask Miniatures:
an amazing series of miniatures based on the concept of Musketeer Dwarves and Ogres!
Here's a bit of a secret- I am as much of a fan/hoarder of
dwarves as I am Napoleonics (oh yes, I have converted fig's into old guard and
dragoon dwarves). I have managed to get a couple of the artist proofs of these
figures, and have had a blast both assembling, with lots of hand and head variation choices to create my own personal Cardinal's guard duelists.
I've just started painting them, and will have pictures soon. They really hit the right notes of level of detail and irreverence, and in talks I've had with Gary Price, the owner of Iron Mask Miniatures, the line will be expanding with all sorts of personalities and regular troops.
You can also find out more about the background of this project (and lots more pictures) on the Iron Mask Miniatures blog.

I highly recommend
them!
Ogre Duelist. These run the same size as the old Maurader Ogres. |
The models are sculpted by the talented John Pickford and
the concepts art is created by none other than the talented Colin Upton- who
has done many pieces for me- including my Wooden Wars Rules cover. Do me and yourself a favor and check out the
Iron Mask Miniatures Kickstarter.
The Cardinal knows if you went to the site or not. |
I like them...very "flashing blade"
