Söllsguard #8

With only five available models in the MM65 range, the possibilities to include a musician are quite limited: here, I have replaced the dagger in the left hand by the sword initially held in the right hand. The drum is a bretonnian bit from the old plastic Men At Arms box, and the mallet comes from the plastic sprue of the Chaos marauders. And that's it!

Söllsguard #7

Same old MM65 model, this time with the halberd replaced by a hammer from the Empire general plastic sprue.

Söllsguard #6

I'm starting to paint my second rank of elite warriors.


The two-handed sword comes from the Empire General plastic kit.

Söllsguard: update and preview

I have finally touched up all the plumets of my MM65 warriors. In my opinion, the ivory-violet thing works better than the previous blue-grey-white attempts. Not perfect, but I'll stick to this new color scheme from now on.

In the meantime, I've also prepared the second batch of Reiskguards (or Söllsguards here), trying as much as possible to add variety to the same 5 models, with a musician and a standard bearer.

Thanks again to the anonymous suggestions made a few posts earlier in the comments, it really helped :)

Söllsguard #5

Last model of the MM65 Reiskguard range. I've tried something different for the plumet... and I think it's better... which means I have to apply the same colors on the 4 previous Söllsguards.

Söllsguard #4

4th MM65:


And the gang so far (I still don't see how I can make a second rank of these guys):

Söllsguard #3

Another MM65 model. I've just realized with the close-up pictures that I have forgotten some shading on the back of the sword... too lazy to fix it :|

Söllsguard #2

Second MM65, nothing much to add, except that I'm a little bit concerned about my choice of white for plumets. I may have to reconsider this for the regiment.

And following Haekel's comments, I've slightly reworked the first Söllsguard:
