Captain of the Guard

 Finished with a 20 year Gap



This figure from Grenadier's Fantasy Warriors Fighting men range has been my General (Or Warchief in Fantasy Warrior terms) for over twenty years. But I never thought he looked finished. I forgot to take a picture before the finishing touches so you just have to trust me on this one.  

He had a plain green tabard which just needed something to bring it out. So a couple of washes and touching up wear and tear from twenty years of use. I can finally call him finished. The painting on the face is probably one best one that I think I have done.   Like many of Grenadiers figures of this period (mid-90s) this one was sculpted by Mark Copplestone and it is up to his usual high standard.

  1. Very beautiful miniature! I love his mace, really martial feel to it. And of course that face is exquisite! The red stripe on the tabbart really makes him shine.

  3. Nice work... he's looking at you glaring and saying "about time".
