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.

Bunnies an Burrows, still around, I THINK I remember them from the '80's? Nice brush-work on a cool mini.
ReplyDeleteThanks! 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.
DeleteI jut followed your blog and briefly looked at it - fascinating stuff, I look forward to spending more time there!
DeleteI enjoyed Watership Down very unusual for its publication date.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed your trip to my blog, I have enjoyed yours for sometime.
Terrific figure, excellent work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alan!
DeleteVery cool.
ReplyDeleteIt was a LOT of fun to paint, there's another one that my son gave me, he's moving up in the painting queue.
DeleteYou know I love me some Burrows and Badgers. Very excited to see one of their gigs on your blog tho Mike and painted so well to boot! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI might have to pull my own version of this mini out of my unpainted mountain after seeing this...
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. :)
Delete*figs, not gigs...
ReplyDeleteI reckon someone who runs a painting service does fig gigs. :)
DeleteExcellent looking landsknecht otter,very nice!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
