Great War Miniatures British officer.

 The second Great War Miniatures figure for A War Transformed is an officer armed with a revolver.

This is from the same Command and Support pack as the Lewis Gun Assistant.

The figure was undercoated with Citadel Chaos Black spray.
It was then base painted with Army Painter Leather brown spray.
I then gave it another coat of Army Painter Leather brown by brush to try to tone down the shine.
The covered helmet is Citadel DeathForest Green.

The water bottle are Citadel Death Korp Drab.
The puttees and mask  are Citadel Steel Legion Drab.

Gloves, pouches, holster and all the "webbing" is Citadel Mournfang Brown

Hose and respirator pack are Citadel Rakarth Flesh.
Metalwork is Vallejo Black Grey.
The Leather Brown was tidied up and then highlighted with a mix of Leather brown and Army Painter Stone Golem. Some darker shading was added to the edges of the jacket and under the arms.

The mask lenses were painted Humbrol matt white, then Citadel Aethermatic Blue was applied.

It still needs to be washed with Citadel Agrax Earthshade and Citadel Camoshade, though I might change the shading wash for the jacket.

Here is the officer and an unpainted Witch.

She was originally built as a Shadow and Bone style Squaller using components from the Frostgrave Soldiers 2 and Wizards 2 sprues, hence the windswept hair.

Fireforge Samurai Warriors

 Fireforge have recently released box sets of plastic Samurai and Ashigaru. The Samurai Warrior box builds 24 heavily armoured samurai warriors armed with swords, naginatas. spears with straight blades and pollards with cross blades. These boxes come with Round 25mm bases..

There is a Samurai Shooter box, but that does not map on to Oathmark or Lion Rampant very well.

There are four body sprues. They contain enough parts for six warriors, six torsos and seven sets of legs, the additional set of legs is a crouching one usable in the Shooter set.

There are various helmeted heads, but not quite enough to equip all six with generic helmets.

One thing to note, these figures do not have puddle bases.

There are four weapon sprues.

I think the arms on the figure above are a bit low. The scabbard needs to be added.

Three assembled figures.

Fireforge Ashigaru Shooters

The Ashigaru Shooter box builds 24 lightly armoured Ashigaru armed with either a  composite bow or a matchlock arquebus.. They also have a back up sword.

There are four body sprues (identical to the Warrior box) and four weapon sprues.

They will provide the ranged weapons for the Samurai.

Fireforge Ashigaru Warriors

 Fireforge have recently released a range of Japanese Samurai and Ashigaru. At SELWG 2023 I picked up a box each of the Ashigaru Warriors, Ahsigaru Shooters and the Samurai Warrior.

The Ashigaru Warrior box builds 24 lightly armoured Ashigaru armed with either a naginata (basically a sword on a stick) or a nagae-yari (more like a pike). They also have a back up sword.

Each sprue has six torsos (so builds six figures) but is common to the Ashigaru Shooter box (qv) and includes two crouching sets of legs.

There are six heads wearing the traditional jingasa helmet and two bare headed.

The right arm is integral to the naginata and the left arm is numbered to match the right.

The plan is to build two mini armies with slightly different themes for Oathmark, which will also be usable in Lion Rampant.

Oathmark Odyssey - Living Statue 2

 This is the second Living Statue, using a Crooked Dice Titan from their Argonaut range. It is also using the Melee Weapons.

The scars on the shield need painting.

The two Living Statues.
