Some Servitors and other news

I finally got on with some of the Wargames Atlantic Canon Fodder and GW spare part Servitors. I see these as recently converted to servitors former convict types, hence the lack of leg cybernetics. If I had waited a few weeks I could have used the Stargrave Automatons, which might have been better. Anyway here are the first 5 - these will be classed as close combat types. 

As these are the first I have painted in a while I a fairly happy with these. Especially as I a now thinking that I shouldn’t have started these, because 28mm sci-fi should really be just skirmish, but my Ad Mech forces are pretty big now. Damn that mission creep!

Also on the horizon, the Mantic games Kickstarter for Epic Warpath has arrived. Some nice little miniatures and the rules seem tight, having watched a how to play video. So something else to do … and still thinking about rebasing to multi bases the 28mm fantasy armies, but I am a little confused on that one.

Drakons - work in progress

Now obviously I show be finishing the servitors I started a few months go … but not to get me out of the painting malaise I decided to put together the Mantic drakon riders for my elf army … these obviously need a fair bit of green stuff action as I want them to fit in with the Ral Partha minis which make up the bulk of the army. 

These are still a work in progress. All need new plumes on their helmets. I was using spare hoplite crests, but lost one and they are a little bit thin for fantasy minis.

Drakon 1 - need to smooth the join between lance and GW spear join and check for gaps. 

Drakon 2 - the one I lost the crest from - same as 1. 

Drakon 3 - nearly there. Plume mainly. 

Drakon Lord - I swapped in a GW dragon knight rider for the lord, a more imposing figure in me opinion. I am going to change the angle of the lance, need to press mould a shield and sculpt the fabric on his under skirts. 

I think I will base on 60mm squares rather than 50mm that came with the kits. 

Nice models to put together - hopefully I can do them justice. 

So plenty to do - plus the servitors …
