ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Sunday, 27 October 2024

Lion Rampant… Drink Lots… Drunk Lots.

Greetings….

Here is another character/ vignette base for our ongoing Lion Rampant Wars of the Roses games…

Drink Lots (Somerset) and his cousin Drunk Lots (De La Pole)…

They have found themselves on opposing sides in this “Cousin’s War” but will always go “ party mode “ when they find themselves within drinking range…


The Dark Blue bits are… Citadel… Kantor Blue.

The Lighter Blue bits are… Citadel… Teclis Blue.

The Yellow Bits are… AK Interactive… AKA 11118 Ochre.

The Hose are… Foundry… Drab 12B.

The Red bits are… Citadel… Mephiston Red.

The Belts are… Citadel… Skrag Brown.

Everything was given a wash of Aly’s Brown Liquid and then re-highlighted with the original colours.

These were really fun to paint… And I am sure we will find a use for them

The figures are from…

https://www.athenaminiatures.co.uk/product/22-vignette-8-drunk-soldiers

The paints are Wargames Foundry, AK Interactive and Citadel


The base is as always…

All the best.  Aly

  7. They are a very happy pair. These are similar to a bunch of Citadel peasants and village people that I found recently when digging through my big box of bits - figures that I bought in Nottingham in 1986. One day soon they will make an appearance on a table.

  9. Very cool figs to punch up the look of any table. All you need to do now is secrete a bluetooth speaker under the table with a suitable tune...

      By the look of them I would need to find a very rude drinking song…
