25mm Old Glory Medieval - Revolting Peasants - Part 5 - Women and Children

 Here is the start of the multi-base models: kids, each with a female protector. 

This is a retread of some of the better color combos I've already used, but this time I wanted to do that blue-gray color, as well as some off-whites. 



An action shot ...

... and some AI slop. 

If done well, AI slop can be quite effective in setting the scene. I'm having some fun with it. 

After a dozen others with axes, sticks and sickles are bases of just children as well as a batch of man/wife, 2-figure bases. That leaves a bunch of unarmed looters with chickens, vases, barrels, etc and then the stone-throwing guys. I'm going to do some small conversions with these so they can actually be used as combatants instead of just, er loot markers? Not sure what function the stone throwers serve. They aren't even proper slingers and only a few have a dagger at their belt. Even the stones they are throwing are very small. I've got ideas - you'll see. 

Somewhere in all this will be all the duplicates of all the model types already seen, combined onto three-man bases to finish off the project - a self-imposed endurance test. Can I tackle a large project without wandering off into something else for once? I'm allowing myself to do some medieval buildings and accessories, but no new units. 

This particular entry brings the mob up to 56 peasants, over a third done. As always, thanks for looking - questions, comments and followers are welcome and encouraged!

25mm Old Glory Medieval - Revolting Peasants - Part 4 - Hags, Crones, Scythes and Pitchforks

Part 4! 16 new figures done. As I said before, all the main figure types will get a model on a single base; here, then, are from the Scythe and Pitchfork set. Still fishing around for good color schemes but found a few new ones. I'm trying to keep this lot muted and drab.

 

These are from the Revolting Women and Children set. The middle one was giving me nun vibes. The children and other women will be in Part 5 - 10 unique ladies here. And because they are revolting, I've tried to make them all hideous, gray hair, filthy, drab clothing, whatever seems most repulsive. I'll do fair maidens later when I get to Foundry and other manufacturers. I'm leaning hard into stereotypes for this. 
ALL the bases for this project will have Vallejo - Diorama FX Thick Mud - Russian Mud, no tufts, grass, or stones. Just a sea of mud, poverty, and depravity.

The red on the dress of figure 4 and the cowl on figure 2 are one you'll see again. It's rooted in ProAcryl's Burnt Sienna

This project is done in what I call the "YouTube" paint style: base color, dark wash, reapply base color, add highlights

Here's the lot. Once I get some more scenics completed, I'll get the entire mob into one shot. 

These are some of my favorites - a few of whom would seem quite at home in a coven for the witch hunters to tangle with. 


These are Rendedra Daub and Wattle Outbuildings, which I painted at the same time. 

The single model options are dwindling. Next will be the gents with axes and hand scythes and vignettes of two figure bases: women and children together.

28mm Renedra Medieval - Wattle & Daub Outbuildings

Two more buildings from Renedra. I've got to get more medieval buildings in play, but I've not decided yet on what I need. Pretty sure it will be 3D prints of some kind as I've not been thrilled with the resin or laser-cut wood ones. I've liked the Gripping Beast ones but they are out of stock. 

These are outbuildings, not dwellings, so they'll be on the table somewhere, but not centrally. 

 
These are Old Glory 25mm peasants for scale comparisons
