FKB XCVI: Size Matters - Brutogg Corpse-eater WIP

Just like last month I hosted that little game of trying to model something to a given topic, here I am participating. The topic given by Bahior was "Size does matter" - which fit perfectly with an idea I had in mind.

I actually got Cursed City when it was originally released, one of the last reasonably priced boxes... and then it stood on top of a shelf for a year. Here I am trying to kickstart it somehow.

You see, I really love the style of the minis for this game and I'll be using most minis as they are, but an ogre without a big belly and a gut-plate? I can't stand that, size indeed does matter here! I did some conversions to put some meat on those bones and make Brutogg into a chubbier chap. HERE is the original for comparison. I have some other similar small changes planned and after that I can start tackling this monster of a boardgame.

Knights of Bretonnia, group shot 01

There was some popular demand for a group shot, so here I am as promised, with the first group shot of all the knights that I painted this year (so no oldies from 2010).

Unfortunately, seeing as I paint them rather randomly, we have some Knights of the Realm here, as well as the Errant Knights, there is no banner and the colors are unbalanced. Final units have some more thought put into them, so please wait for that - but in the meanwhile, it's actually very nice to actually see them as a proper group. I got most of my Bretonnians in ages long gone and only now I am getting close to seeing them as they were supposed to.

Knight Errant #02

Okay, here I'm back with some actual content. I'm sorry for the last weeks, but real life just doesn't want to settle on a consistent schedule as well... Hopefully, now I can deliver stuff a little better.

Second Errant Knight for the unit, who - with the colors and the heraldry - looks a bit Ukrainian-themed. I designed him years before the war, so it was not a spontaneous decision, but still nice nonetheless. The stripes in this color scheme intimidated me a little, but thankfully it actually went quite smoothly.

Also, he's the ninth knight I painted this year, so I can actually now gather all of them into a proper 3x3 unit, which will come next week. In related news, I managed to buy some more knight minis, so instead of three 9-man units, I'll have one with 15, one with 12 and one with 9, for a proper size!
