Oathsworn Burrows and Badgers figures

[Rob Dean]

I have had a little time to do some painting this week.  While my main ongoing project has to do with filling out the orders of battle for my five-country fantasy campaign, my brother has been after me to get a Burrows and badgers war band ready by Christmas, when I next expect to see him again. As it happens, the Muse has been receptive to his entreaties, and the inspiration available to me this week was for Burrows and Badgers.  I find that disrespecting the Muse is usually a bad idea, so here we are.  These two are the otter ranger and the mole mercenary; I recently was working on some 40mm historical landsknechts, so he was in my comfort zone.

 

 

I know that Michael Lovejoy reads these forums, and he has commented that he likes to sculpt everything in one piece because he doesn't like assembling things.  This is a position which I am 100% in agreement with, and that contributes to these figures being a real pleasure to paint.  they also are fast to do.  The mole mercenary turned out to be about a 45 minute job, so I could have done him as a speed painting contest (minus some paint mixing time I'd have needed for contest conditions.)

 

 

As soon as I finished these, I pulled out the next three I'd already primed and started on of them, and then rooted through the boxes from the two Kickstarters I'd backed.  So, more to come...

Very happy the Muse inspired you! Apparently she was very inspirational, because these turned out fantastic!

These look wonderful, especially the mole's nose.

Amazing work, especially at speed! Love these little fellas.

Great work on them!

[Lovejoy]

Lovely job! And great to see the otter painted - I've had mine sat undercoated on my desk since January!

These are fantastic, I love the shorts, it reminds me of redwall.

Very nice! I like what you did with the fabrics of their garments.
