is back from Council of Five Nations.Say 'hello' to some Amazon Bladedancers, the penultimate troop class for my new 15mm Amazon army!
There's only one figure pose, but the 'secret' is to (carefully) reposition the arms to get maximum variety.
And the other 'secret', since these are the opposite of linear troops, is to base them irregularly, to give the illusion of 'dancing'.
I believe the sculptor on these was Sandra Garrity. She mostly known for her work in larger scales, but these are little jewels.
For this project, all of the Amazons were painted by our Ukrainian friends, Old Guard Painters.
The painting style they used for these figures looks a bit odd in extreme close-up, but great on the tabletop.
I had the painted figures shipped to me unbased, then put them on Mighty Armies 1" x 2" plastic bases (Rebel Minis).
To keep them from sliding around in their storage box, I add FlexSteel on the bottom. It's a bit of rubbery material that sticks to magnets just like metal, just peel off the backing and press it in place. You can get it in any size from LITKO.
One more troop type, and this army is done!
