Post a Comment On: Fawcett Avenue Conscripts

[Image]Some time ago, I supported a Kickstarter campaign launched by Zealot Miniatures out of the UK, for their Litchmyre Dungeon range of fantasy figures. I really liked the aesthetic of the models, sculpted by the very talented Boris Woloszyn. I picked out the five I liked best (specifying that they be cast in white metal - no resin for this Conscript!) and they arrived in June of this year. I painted them in the last couple days. I find that fantasy single models paint up really fast.
[Image]This is "Melran, Elf Warrior". She's a multipart metal casting and is just beautiful.

[Image]I really like the detail on the (obviously) wooden shield. I couldn't think of a better way to paint it, so I just left it in a wood finish.
[Image]A superb little model!
[Image]This is "Mercenary with Torch" - will be great as a retainer for an adventuring party.

[Image]This is "Skeleton" - does what it says on the tin.
[Image]I really dig the aesthetic of this model as well. Note the shackles on his wrists and ankles. Very cool model.
[Image]This is "Undead Dwarf King". I like the idea of undead versions of races other than human - I seem to recall that GW got into this a little bit in their Warhammer Fantasy Battle range, centuries ago. It was pretty cool having undead Skaven and the like to paint up.

[Image]Now this guy is cool - "Spirit Warrior". With that mail coif he looks like something out of a Monty Python/Holy Grail nightmare.
[Image]Just a super-nice model.
[Image]The Zealot stuff is a little on the larger side of 28mm, but they have a LOT of models on offer in their webstore, including monsters and other adventurers. Worth a look if you're into the genre, but all of their product is in resin now - metal was only for Kickstarter backers. Too bad. And they're not cheap either - for example, the Spirit Warrior is 7.90GBP. Maybe Santa might chuck some in your stocking if you've been good this year :-)
Anyway that's the update, stay safe everybody!
