Fantasy Friday: Landsknecht Otter

I painted this 28mm Oathsworn figure at the request of my son, who is an RPG guy and is into Burrows and Badgers.  It was a heck of a lot of fun to paint, beautiful sculpt.   Very tempted to order some for my self, but I really don't need another gaming/painting interest!

If you follow me on Twitter (@marshalluigi), you’ll know that I have a pretty good GIF game that often features cute otters.   This fellow is definitely not cute or cuddly.  I texted these photos to John in BC and he wrote back “Full of bravado, full of himself”.

Thanks for looking.   I have a figure lined up for next week’s Fantasy Friday but it’s certainly not as cute.

Cheers and blessings to your brushes.  A happy bank holiday to my UK and Irish readers.

  1. Bunnies an Burrows, still around, I THINK I remember them from the '80's? Nice brush-work on a cool mini.

    1. Thanks! I remember Bunnies and Burrows from long long ago, it was based on the novel Watership Down and had several reincarnations including a recent Kickstarter. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunnies_%26_Burrows. Burrows and Badgers is definitely in that tradition.

    1. It was a LOT of fun to paint, there's another one that my son gave me, he's moving up in the painting queue.

    1. I was briefly tempted to order some for myself after seeing the Oathsworn website, but that way madness lies, so I ordered some 6mm ACW figures instead. Go figure. :)
