Please don't judge me

Well sometimes you just fancy painting something a little different and before you know it you are lost done a rabbit hole, or in this case a burrow. I blame it on building and painting the MDF kits from Sarissa Precision. So I bought the rules and bought a few figures, then a few more , oh damn it I got lots of figures. Who doesn't want to paint foxes, otters, squirrels and mice. Now 2 other club members are putting warband's together for a little skirmish. 

It does help that the game is based in my home county of Northumberland or Northymbra, and the animals are all local with a few exotic exceptions. I even found myself on google actually looking at wildlife to try and replicate on the figures. So here are the first 10 figures done with another 9 to complete. I'll need to come up with a bit of a back story when I actually design a warband.

All together

Otto, Felix and Red

The mice, Tom-tom, Fergus and Tam

Slick, Sid, Bailey and Dead eye

So 2 foxes, an otter, 3 mice, a ferret, adder, hound and a squirrel. They are all metal figures from Oathsworn miniatures and they are a joy to paint. I even spent a bit of extra time on the bases. I've had a dig around in the old Mordhiem collection and identified 6 Skaven figures that will be perfect for the game. They just need re-based and fur re-done black as black rats.
