HUNS ! - ( HAT 8298 ) **** Painted Review ****

I don't paint a lot all the past weeks...
I've just finished to paint the set "Huns" from HAT ( PSR Link ).
Not a great set !

3 sprues of 5 riders each with 3 separate arms which allow multiple  combinations.... but ....
only 4 horses for 5 riders ! (total of the box : 15 riders + 12 horses ). No comment.

The sculpt is half-bad (or half-good, it depends of your mood).
The faces are ... err.... "notsculpted" ! (it's a good excuse for a lazy face-painter like me)
The details on the figures are mainly ... missing ?
( and it's 8/10 on PSR !!!!!!!!! they have never paint figures !!!
mold is 10/10 : easy when there is almost nothing to mold !! )

The poses are not bad but I recommend to try to put the riders on the horses and eventually use a kraft-knife before painting the figures  because they don't seat well on the saddles !( I've always believed that Huns were excellent riders... pfffffff.... sad but I was wrong ... )

They are too tall (look at the last pictures at the bottom for comparison with the Lucky Toys "Black Huns" ), so don't expect to mix them !

No comment about the soft Hat-Plastic ... (I hate the hat-plastic, he he !)

One good point : I like the general look of those figures with their warm clothes.
But: could someone explain to me why those guys seem don't wear muffles as all right-in-the-head men should wear in their extreme conditions of life ???? 
I propose to do a donation for the sculptors (they are a lot !) which allows them to have some days of vacancies in Siberia ! (with horses, so they could see in the same time how are horses !) 

... well , I've painted them....
for the first time, I've used (a little!) Citadel paints and I can say that it's not for me : it don't work with my usual "rustic-style" ! 

Pictures ? 

Ok ! 

Let's go !

"(LIGHT) ALLIANCE" : DWARVES (set 2) #72008 -Painted Review

After the "Half-Orcs", the "Orcs", it's time to show the "DWARVES" !

I could painted them in Tartan dress  because of the Bagpiper !
so I could have named them "Scottish Dwarves" !

Pictures are better than a lot of blabla ... and I don't know what to say about this set!
just: it's a good set, with very dynamic figures.... I like them !






If you are interested, one picture to compare the Alliance Dwarves and the Caesar Dwarves:


and to finish this post and this first serie of the ALLIANCE Fantasy range, a picture of the Big Band which  is the specialist of  
"Orck&Troll Music"

"SHAKHAI PORCNK"

(on the flag, you can read "We Play The Best Music Over the World" )

WAR OF THE RING (WOTR) figures ! (unpainted!)


I've  bought some time ago a big lot of WOTR figures. (5o$ for 100 figures)
Like you can see, they are not especially master pieces but some could be used with other fantasy 1/72 figures... and they are a nice touch for an old Tolkien's fan collector !

I want to mention 1Mac from " Cheap Fantasy Minis "   who gave me the idea to search those strange figures.

the whole lot (except the 8 Nazguls):

details and comparisons :

cavalrymen (elves - men ) and a 1/72 Norman 

Minas Thiris (x2) Rohirrim


Elves


Dwarves (the dark Grey from the Heroes range) Caesar Dwarves for comparison

Men  -Norman Kamar


Nazguls (Caesar Adventurer for the size)





UPDATE / ELF !!!   -Caesar Orc


The Fellowship ! ("Heroes" range )


the other figures of the "Heroes" range ...

Men with Caesar Adventurer for comparison

"Heroes" : I suppose The Witch King and Theoden ?
Caesar Adventurer "Wizard" and both wizards of the "Heroes" range
UPDATE/CORRECTION :
the figure identified as a Orc is an Elf !!! 
many thanks to Barks ! have a look at his blog for the WoTR figures he have painted :

"Woodland Indian Women and Childs"

In the same time that I've painted the "Californian Mission Indians", I've also painted this little "Nikolai" set, sculpted  by Erik Trauner. (the hut is from "IMEX Eastern Friendly Indians" ).

Dans le même temps que j'ai peint "Californian Mission Indians", j'ai aussi peint ce petit set "Nikolai", sculpté par Erik Trauner. (la hutte est de "IMEX Eastern Friendly Indians")



And I've done too some pictures for comparison between IMEX, PEGASUS, NIKOLAI Indians:

IMEX NIKOLAI PEGASUS ....
IMEX NIKOLAI PEGASUS IMEX NIKOLAI
NIKOLAI IMEX PEGASUS PEGASUS
PEGASUS       IMEX
(..... and it's a good way to see that I've not painted the skins in the same colour ! )
