Dogs of War

Well my dungeons and dragons campaign right now centres around a deamon blooded family who dominate an area because of their special powers and calculating minds. One of the characters is an escaped slave soldier and the other is a gnome magician and they have just escaped the dominating castle of "the family" as i call them.
Now they are in the wild and in model form!
Well half of them anyway.
As some may know i got my hands on some large volumes of plasticard and green stuff and have been testing little bits out here and there. This is the second time ive made plasticard armour so it may seem a bit rough to old hands out there but im quite happy with it. Tell me what you think of this converted catachen so far, im going to do some green stuff work later on him to make some chainmail armour for his arms and to fill gaps between the armour plates.
i would also be interested to hear about possible gnome models to make into mages.

I think it looks pretty neat. If you need references for gnomes, look no further: http://www.reapermini.com/figurefinder#detail/02510

They do make more Gnome models though.

Looks almost oriental....

Nice work

Looks like a good start, but with a little more effort and practice you can go to this easily:

what gauge plastic card you use ironlord

I like the idea of making splint mail out of plasticcard but in the example it looks sort of shoddy which makes sense for a recently escaped prisoner but I'm not sure how you could make it properly like the picture Tribun put up. Does plastic card bend and hold that form? I'd assume you could make it do so under warm water or such but I'd appreciate a brief cover of the idea by someone who has done so already.

your the second person to mention putting plasticard under hot water to make it bend...
hmmm this theory is geting a it of weight behind it now, maybe ill have to try it out at some point
right now ive done the green stuff work so ill get that up on the forum later but my day is going to be busy with putting up wardrobes today

Or a hairdryer, i use a powerful one for my work.
Although most of that is resin.

I'd use greenstuff, rather than plasticard. Flattena thin layer of greenstuff to cover the armoured area, then use the flat side of the blade on your modeling tool to press horizontal indents around the body, forming the 'segments' of the lorica sementum (roman legionary armour pictured above)
