15mm Siamese for Chris - Khursanan miniatures

A friend has asked me to paint this lot, and they are great fun to do.

The elephants are now done.
I replaced all spear shafts with pins for this lot. The originals were too flexible.

CinC, he is converted to wear armour, base built up and standard (the white xmas tree) built and added.
The important person drive the elephant in Thai armies.


I am really happy with him!




The tree is dismountable for storage.


Deforestation is a pain!


Elephant generals






Generals have two guard escorts


Four elephants






Three more






All seven 'normal' nellies




Heavily converted javelinmen, (shields removed, arms moved, scratch built arquibuses added)






Elephant wedge!


Tree really gets in the way!


Elephants are so bit they don't fit the lightbox!


Hope they're 'Sudyod' for you!
They fit nicely into a box too!

Here are the Guards.

A surprisingly difficult batch to photograph...

With the Guard infantry added, they add a much more colourful and regular unit, so a more uniformed appearance.


Read view to show off their legs!

Trying to show the variety here.

In daylight, the bronze, red, blue really zings.

Quite a mass, lovely sculpts, very clean and great to paint.

I am informed they are Reg Bd(f), so quite a tasty mix in DBM.

Mean looking bunch

Choppy choppy!

Close up to show that I used two colours on blades.

Elephants next! Thousands of them!
Original batch.

They come from the lovely Khursanan Early Siamese army.

I tried to make these first two batches as naturalistic and dull as possible, knowing that the Royal Guards and the elephants will be a LOT more colourful as the centre of attention for the army.

12 bases of skirmishing archers




Form double line!


Bases were an attempt at jungle...


24 bases of auxiliary types


It's quite a horde!

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them.   Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty). "Creedo!" I got hold of two of these on Evil Bay, one uncommon (yellow base rim), one rare (red base rim), so I trashed the rare one (and kept the base elsewhere). This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure,  Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure,  completly  repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over. Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them! 72 in the first three bases of 24s. Top view, had fun posing one stand at least The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24. Back view Not the crisp view I was after, but you get the idea. 40 in five lots of 8s Allowing for flexibility. Scoot 48 in fours Top view Threes, ten bases making another thirty. Moving quickly. Top down Twos, twelve of - standard size of US troopers, useful as small change for locals! From above Back view Damn, missed one! And one broke off his base, so he's Hollywood loss (insert Wilheim scream here). Top view 33 ones (two were joined together and counted in the twos. Cantabrian anyone? Spinning maelstrom of Souix! Almost a whole A4 of riders.
