Sybou's Albion Project - Leader month (315 points)

 Greetings to all Owacers,

thank you for joining me in the Albion's Project.

Once again the Owac Project allowed all of us to carry on with our respective projects and we just have one month left.

As i'm pretty late, i had to combine my leader and my wildcard in the same month.

My leader, a wise Druid with his grim but faithfull Kelpie. (110 pts)

For this Project, I really needed to get a kelpie, this seahorse is pretty typical of the northern Islands mythology. The hard part was to find one that I like.

I found the sculpt in a STL file made by Warploque Miniatures. My cousin had to print it 3 times in order to find the right size for me.

The Druid is from Conquest Miniature (again) ; i hesitated to cut him to place him on the horse but I feared of messing him up so i just put him in front of the beast.

It looks good enough like this.

Green and wet horsey!

Then for my wildcard, I didn't have much choice and I had to get ...

An other Giant!!! (205 pts)

More like a couple of giants on one body. I alway liked this guy and got it on the internet for not much. I kept him in a box after realising his size compared to my other giants, but I told myself that I really like him so I had to add him to the Army.

I took advantge of the fact that I had place on the base to add some rocks and stones. They look good, a bit like a wow ogre with their two heads. Really cool and simple miniatures.

With these guys i reached a total of 1060 points for the 2023 challenge.

Combined with my last challenge, it will be 2444 points.

For the month of June, it will be a big challenge as I have 35 miniatures to finish. 30 needed to be built and converted during May so it tooke me a bit of time.

I hope they will be worthy and the time spent on them.

Untill next time, take care everyone.

Rank & File month #1 

Hello everyone,

once again we gathered to honour the challenge of the year!

As I said in my intro post, this year i was really willing to create something unique and the Albion army got created.

I hope you will appreciate the creativity behind the project: choices of miniatures, colours and more ...

I was willing to start with the skirmishers who represent 60 points:

10 fighters unorganized but ready to fight!

So these guys got blue painting on their bodies, a little wink to Mel Gibson Braveheart. I like the two firbolgs coming from alternative miniatures. They're kind of scary. I chose to give them a lots of blond and red hairs.

Lots of Albion Clan include various kind of warriors, the Albion men are not known to work as regiments most of the time. 

Patrolling through the moors, marshes and other dangerous land ask for light equipements. It is known that Albion's Kings and Lords ask to groups of men from small villages to act as skirmishers, scouts or spies.

A little close-up on the tartans.

Then as the month of January is always the one where i put lots of efforts in order to make a big step in my project, I also painted my heroes!

Druid lvl 1/ Druid lvl2/ Oracle

I really like these guys, they really represent what i had in mind when creating the army. The Oracle is a priestess of The Mother Godess, she's a direct Daughter of the Island and as such inspire the members of the army. She naturally acts as a great banner.

And finally, as I was in a roll, here are my little giants:

Some small giants

Wandering through the moors, these guys are some of the oldest inhabitants of the island. Several years of consanguinity reduced their size. But these creatures are still really dangerous and their stupidity can't make them even more dangerous.

Year after year, it is said that the druids have more difficulties to get them under control.

That's it for January, for next month I'm going to start my clansmen regiment, I might add a couple of bonus if the painting is going well.

Thank you for waching and reading. 

Take care everyone.
