Some more finished pieces for my Burrows and Badgers collection, this time a couple of town guards to protect my village that I’ve created for the setting of my campaigns, along with a signpost and bulletin board.
Kirt is a native of the village in question (a village name still a work in progress) who helps keep the peace from both outside and internal threats to the peace and quiet order found there. Somewhat skilled with his spear, young Kirt can often be seen hopping about poking at the air, practicing against shadow enemies like a kit or cub at play. Most in the village question if the rabbit’s level of maturity is up to the task of providing protection the to the village’s population.
Tried to give this chap amber eyes. The interwebs says rabbits can have them, so why not eh?The blue uniform was taken from online pics of a medieval Knight of Antioch. Thought the colours and diagonal stripe were kinda cool.
This is Tavish McRadish, formerly a clans-mouse from the wilder lands of Strath Clota across the northern border. No one knows why this former tartan wearing mouse decided to settle in the village, but they are very thankful that he has been willing to step in to help protect the settlement from any threats that might arise.
Unlike Kirt, Tavish wears trousers. And thank goodness! How indecent otherwise! Lol
These two scatter pieces are actually Oathsworn Miniatures scatter terrain efforts from their Burrows and Badgers range. I got them as freebies for backing a past Kickstarter campaign of theirs. Nice sculpts to add a little flavor to my tabletops and painted pretty simply.
And that’s it for this post. Lots more Burrows and Badgers figs from the unpainted mountain on my paint table including some more civilian denizens of my soon-to-be-named village!
Stay well all,

Oh my!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work!
Glad you like them Michal!
DeleteExcellent work Dai, on both the figures and scenery, look forward to seeing the town develop as I've not seen that approach so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave!
DeleteOne thing about this game that I like best is the narrative approach that the rules encourage. One off games are all well and good to play but when you have a system that is best ran as a campaign then to me that opens up the floodgates for one’s creative juices to really flesh it out and dive into.
Oh wow, excellent painting on these furry figures and Tavish's face is honestly a work of art. Can't believe the detail and character you managed to paint on something so small!
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt! I really enjoy painting the sculpts from this range, they have so much character and near enough paint themselves
DeleteCute little fellas! Superb work on Tavish's face. Very impressive artistic flair.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate that Jon! He was fun to paint!
DeleteNice work, particularly on the tiny face!
ReplyDeleteVery tiny. So happy my eyesight didn’t go the other way when I turned 40 lol
DeleteThey are quite wonderful Dai.
ReplyDeleteSurely the valleys provide some inspiration for village names ?
Thanks mate!
DeleteThe Valleys are a good suggestion. I’ll certainly look at that option
Fine job on the miniatures. Your having too much fun naming them. 😀
ReplyDeleteWhile I always see people raving about the miniatures (and deservedly so) what I don’t see a lot are people talking about the actual game rules. Have you tried them yet?
Thanks Stew! :)
DeleteI’ve only read the rules and played a couple turns along with watching a YouTube play through or two. I like what I see so far. Fun and different from other rules sets, very role play style too which is fun.
Lovely pair of guards types! Nice colours, great painting, it looks like you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain! I’m definitely enjoying painting this range of figs and coming up with their silly backstories. Hard not to, I like the setting so much!
