Bloodbone Axemen
Here are the remaining Bloodbone axemen with a little bit of support from Miss Piggy's Finest.
|

Bloodbone Axemen
The obligatory overhead view.
|
|
Bloodbone Axemen
Looking all mean and gruff.
|
|
Bloodbone Axemen
More piggies in the wings... but do they fly?
|
|
Bloodbone Axemen
I chose to do these later because of the bare heads.
|
|
Bloodbone Axemen
Ofcourse, after making all of these I found out that the Bloodbone clan symbol is nothing like that... oh well.
|
|
Bloodbone Axemen
Ranks of steel marching.
|
|
Bloodbone Axemen
Initially I didn't like these, but having painted them they are actually pretty nice.
|
|
Bloodbone Axemen
They do look a bit like they were in barrels, though.
|
|
Bloodbone Axemen
I do wonder why the swordsmen didn't come with shields, though. Oh well, it's a fantasy game, it doesn't have to make sense.

Making Plastic Spears
Different spear options, from left to right: white metal, steel and plastic. The white metal is already bent.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
Get an ordinary street sweeping brush. Make sure it has straight plastic bristles.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
Snip off required amount of bristles. Use proper pliers, scissors don't quite have the leverage.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
Hammer the end... gently.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
This is how the blade looks after hammering. The more you hammer, the wider blade you will get.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
Use scissors to cut a point into the blade.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
Finished spear blade. Just stick it on with superglue and paint.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
It bends...
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
...and pops right back!
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
This is what the finished product can look like.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
There's still flex in it and even the paint won't flake.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
Back to normal.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
And unlike steel spears, you can't hurt yourself with these.
|
|
Making Plastic Spears
With a steel spear I'd be bleeding right now... bleeding from a Small Cut!

Engraving Tool
This is the engraving tool I got off eBay. It's battery-powered.
|
|
Engraving Tool
Works pretty well on plastic and even metal.

Imperial Muster
More troopers assembled.
