"The Mad Mullah Faqir at nGwakia Wells" Topic

…Meanwhile the Mad Mullah Faqir scans the field while plotting his deviltry. The Faqir has some magic at his command so Sir Kev must be on his Burberry Tartaned toes!

The Mad Mullah Faqir has been both a boon and a curse for Queen Roo Di Shia. He has converted nearly half the tribe to Bilboism with his magic and readings from the LOTR, and his magic has helped the tribe on more than one occasion. Balanced against that there is the animosity between the newly minted Bilboists and the remaining animists. There has been bloodshed between the two factions on more than one occasion. In fact the "rapping" of her daughters came at an opportune moment for the Queen to focus her tribes' aggression on someone other than one another.

Thanks for stopping by!

I've never seen figures (ok I live in a closet I guess) like these. These must be fun to paint.

Hello!

Most of the figures are from Alternative Armies Flintloque range. The Zulu looking chaps however are from Old Glory.

I have only painted the halflings (minus the Mad Mullah Faqir himself) and Sir Kev's Burberry Tartan. The rest were painted by the good folks at Alternative Armies.

Can't say I find painting fun, but I do enjoy the end result.

I do find paint quite therapeutic. My point is that after 30 years of painting 15mm Nap's that every part has a correct color and painting a figure without care and only doing what you think is right might be fun. And after I finish the current batch (and the finishing is getting slower) I might have a go at a 28mm Dwarf I bought last year.

Oh quite. Can't stand painting uniforms. When I do so the aim is for "field" look rather than "parade" in any event. Lots of wear and fading/scrounging.
