You know the feeling, a little whisper in the back of your head. A nagging idea that you've forgotten or misplaced something. That sneaking suspicion that, even though you can see that you have finished the job, something isn't right. Yeah. Ever since I finished my Middle Ages figures a few weeks ago I had that feeling. A shadow at the edge of my vision. Just yesterday I found out why.
As I was sorting things to bring to Pro or Con to give away I began moving boxes in the depths of The Vault, particularly in the Heap of Embarrassment when I found an oddly light box. "What would have possessed me to put an empty crate this far back into the corner?" was the thought that passed my mind as I opened it up and found these guys lurking inside.
Now I have to track down The Muse and chain her to my workbench so that I will these done before the end of the year....
Perhaps you could do them as the Knights of the Round Table, "who dance when 'er their able" theme. The Templars certainly give a chorus line look on the box. That Teutonic Fellow with the horns might make a pleasant "Tim" the wizard? And the sergeants to either side of the central rider definitely look like the guards at the wedding feast. I am just making a suggestion.
ReplyDeleteThe Teutonic Knights helmets have a distinct air of silliness about them. Wargames Atlantic have foot Knights and Sergeants that I could paint as the gate guards at the castle.
