Le Chevalier à la Licorne

Just a short post to recommend an excellent comic book, "Le Chevalier à la Licorne", published by Soleil. The illustrations are absolutely fantastic, and a great source of inspiration for us, fantasy miniature painters. Below the cover and the first pages.

By the way, the story is quite good too! A short summary by the editor:

1346, the Battle of Crécy. Juan de la Heredia, a Knight Hospitaller, offers his horse to the King of France who is in a bad position. Surrounded by the English,

 he takes off his armour in a fit of ardour, freeing his movements and his anger. The rage to kill keeps him alive, but Juan is now its prisoner. He starts pursuing a unicorn, as one would follow a dream...

 

 

332 points of Dwarf Warriors

I've started this unit in December 2012... Needless to say that it's a big relief to post the final pictures of this band :)

 

Now back to work...

Borax Bloodaxe

Last but not least, one of the Dwarf Lords of Legend: Borax Bloodaxe.


Next time, the completed regiment :)

Another duo of Dwarf warriors

The drunkard is not exactly an OOP model, but this 90's exception is compensated by a really old miniature: Gimli, teleported right from the Middle-Earth down to the Old World.


Not exactly my best paint job, I think I'm eager to finish now...

Dwarf warriors again

Dwarf Warriors again, this time with double handed axes and, sometimes, shields. Here are #20 and #21.

308 points of Dwarf Warriors

Maybe not as good looking as the crossbowmen, but still happy with the final result :)

Next time, the last models painted to complete my second regiment of Dwarf Warriors.

312 points of Quarrellers

As I said before, the quarellers are done. Proof by picture:

Cannon #2 reloaded

I was not really satisfied with the first crew of my heavy bombard. So, bye bye engineer and town cryer, say hello to the masked gunner.


And here is the heavy bombarded reloaded, using a former Dwarf warrior, the new gunner and the third member of the original crew. Hope you like it!
