Greetings…
Here is another addition to my Wars of the Roses collection…
Dastardly Medieval Muggers…
These are more lovely figures from Athena Miniatures…
https://www.athenaminiatures.co.uk/product/vignet7e-12-give-us-your-purse
I am not entirely sure how they will fit into our games… But they were a lot of fun to paint.
I have painted them as Boucherie (Israel) and Tudor (Matt) mugging Hastings (Hastings)…
Why?… You may ask…
Well it’s a dirty job… And someone has/had to do it… 🤣
The Blue bits are… Citadel… Kantor 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.
The Green bits are… Vallejo… 70.967 Olive Green.
The White bits are… Citadel… Pallid Wych Flesh.
Everything was given a wash of Aly’s Brown Liquid and then re-highlighted with the original colours.
Marvelous Medieval Muggers, love it🙂

Excellent work, Aly! You are not alone in having an embarrassing large pile of unpainted figures. Oh, be joyful for such abundance! Hope you continue on the mend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jonathan…
DeleteThe good side is that my butterfly always finds somewhere to land…
All the best. Aly
Lovely figures and very well painted indeed, clever idea as well!! Hope your eye problem continues to improve at a good rate.
ReplyDeleteThank you Donnie…
DeleteI reckon a nice Christmas holiday away from the computer screen will help things a lot…
All the best. Aly
Very nice work Aly - like you, I am wondering how you might incorporate them into a game - but where there is a will....
ReplyDeleteI do at the moment have a small lead/plastic pile and may be tempted to add to it shortly...but it's still under control compared with many, I believe (telling myself that makes me feel better, anyway!)
Thank you Keith…
DeleteI’m sure we will find some… hopefully amusing… way of using them.
All the best. Aly
Firstly, glad to hear that the eye situation is improving. Secondly, all the best for the relocation! I had many chums to help move GHQ to its present location in just a day! Lastly, really lovely paint job on the muggers!
ReplyDeleteThank you David…
DeleteI shall hopefully get some of the wargaming youngsters to help me get everything moved into the cellar…
All the best. Aly
I do like little oddities like these fine looking fellows. You may never use them in a game, but they look damn fine in their colourful tunics! I wonder if they pinched them in the first place???
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray…
DeleteI am a big fan of characterful vignettes and figures… you can use them as part of the game or just to look pretty…
Of course they pinched them …. They are villains 🤣
All the best. Aly
Nice looking vignette
ReplyDeleteThank you Tony…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
I'd be a little worried about having that fellow with the cudgel in the collection. He has the look of someone who might come to find you if he doesn't get used on the wargames table...
ReplyDeleteYes…. He certainly looks like he is out to cause trouble…
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Sorry to hear about the eye trouble.
ReplyDeleteAre you it should be "muggers"? Or should the alliteration begin with "B"? ☺
Neil
I suspect that they have been called many things in their time…
DeleteNone of it good or complimentary 😁
All the best. Aly
The muggers are a wonderful choice for a vignette, thanks for also listing the paints you used.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the sympathetic creek in my knees hearing about the lead migration. Hopefully it is a good move.
Sorry to hear about your eyes giving you trouble. Here's to a quick and complete recovery.
Thank you Joe…
DeleteThey were a lot of fun to paint…
It’s going to take a bit of time to move everything… I will just take things at a steady pace… and get young people to do the heavy lifting 😁
All the best. Aly
Splendid looking ruffians! Hope both the move and the eye condition are improved soon!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain…
DeleteSlow but steady on both fronts…
All the best. Aly
Love the muggers! I have a 28mm Yorkist Army that I have to decide what to do with now that my opponent has sold their army. Maybe LR is the way to go with a little repainting of liveries.
ReplyDeleteThank you Meic…
DeleteLion Rampant are excellent fun to play…Half a dozen units a side gives a quite satisfying game.
All the best. Aly
Fun little project and jolly nicely painted as always - sorry to hear the eye still troubling you - hope things improve soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rick…
DeleteI was told it could take a bit of time to heal fully… But at least I am getting a bit of painting done.
All the best. Aly
Shifting stuff about was never simple, but as I've gotten older, it has become exponentially more icky. But at least it gives the impression of a fresh start when done. Sorry to hear about the eye, but glad to hear it's improving...that old guy thing again.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment the house is like a big box puzzle… If you want/ need to move one thing… you have to move two others…😁
DeleteBut it’s getting there… slowly.
Yes … The Old Guy thing… Definitely.
All the best. Aly
Nothing much to say except get well soon, nice figures as usual and know what you mean about changing things around... doing some of that myself at the moment!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rob…
DeleteI thing this will be the last time I shift things around…
All the best. Aly
