Robin Hood revisited

You will recall my previous Robin Hood post from January 2016. For some very meta theme nostalgia, I'm revisiting the subject ten years later.

These Merry Men are from Slave 2 Gaming. They're Mike Broadbent sculpts, but they're not his best. I did them quickly with Speedpaints, and they came out OK in the end. Absolution Green, Forest Sprite, Pallid Bone, Hardened Leather and Satchel Brown were staples, with a few other greens and browns for variety.





I asked the AHPC Antipodean chat what colour Maid Marion's dress should be, and blue was the answer. I painted Will Scarlet scarlet, but it's the sculpt for Alan-a-Dale with a lute on his back.

I also found a missing Bretonnian squire, and did a quick paint job on him. I really should have spent time doing highlights, he's a lovely Perry sculpt. Maybe later. You can buy these figures again now, $A15 each... (the S2G ones are < $4 each)...

Robin Hood!


Robin Hood and his Band of Not-Particularly-Merry Men! This is my entry to the 'Nostalgia' themed round of the 6th Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge.

These are the Warhammer Bretonnian characters Bertrand le Brigand, Gui le Gros, and Hugo le Petit. I picked them up at a local bring-and-buy, along with two squires. They are GW/ Michael Perry sculpts from 1997.

I painted them up from a brown basecoat, then gave some targeted washes and highlights. I'm really happy with how they turned out.

If anyone can direct me to some nice plastics I can use to bulk up this warband I'd be appreciative! Of course, now I need a Maid Marian and Sheriff and a castle etc...
