25mm Old Glory Medieval - Revolting Peasants - Part 6 - Sticks and Hand Weapons

 These bring the mob up to 68 of around 150 models. Still going strong and I'm sticking it through til the end, so far. My allowable off-ramps are terrain and other Medieval-related things. 

These are representative bodies from the Sticks and Stones set (the sticks), some from the Looters and Pillagers (the torch bearers, and the bowl cut axeman), and the rest, the remainder of the bodies from the Scythes and Pitchforks set. I did the long weapons already, these are the handheld weapons - only one hand scythe and the rest axes. Remember that with Old Glory, each bag contains roughly 10–12 distinct body sculpts, with each one duplicated 2–3 times. The heads, however, vary from model to model—and even when a head is repeated, it's rarely paired with the same body.

A new color combo was centered around Reaper Pro Paint "Oiled Leather." The usual thing with these - a basecoat, Army Painter Strong tone, then a build back up with the base through the highlights. Every boot, belt and bag on every single mini has been and will continue to be, AP Fanatic Leather Brown. Natural wood are from AK Interactive Light Earth (as seen directly below). I may do some hair different - a few white haired dudes and a ginger seen here third from left:

Reaper Oiled Leather can be seen on models 2 and 6. 

Number 4 has a good scheme too, with Americana - Portobello. I'm trying to get a good undyed wool color, and that's been my favorite option so far. 

When I do use any Army Painter Fanatic paint, I will, after the Strong Tone, go right up through the tetrad, sometimes leapfrogging a shade to get bolder volumes. Much of the green was done this way. 

The red on figure 4 is one I've used before - Pro Acryl's Burnt Sienna - that's as bright a red as I'll allow on these. Once I get to the proper serjeants and knights, I'll get bolder and brighter with many of the colors.

All together now ...

... in a bunch, in a bunch!

The next batch is 21 figures - models from the Sticks and Stones set - (the stones specifically) and some looters and pillagers. Neaither have much in weaponry sculpted on so I've had to dig through the bits box to get scabards, shields and other stuff to adorn them with. I also made a mess o' broom bristle spears and drilled out some hands to accommodate them.

That will be the end of the individual models - the rest will be the bases of 2-3 models and will include all the dupes of the models you've already seen.
