Jaeckel and the Lost Crusade - Month III (202 points)

OK. Third month of the OWAC III, and first weeks of confinement, not as helpful as expected to work on Pieter the Pious and his worshipers. Anyway, I've been able to complete my third unit: a procession of pilgrims led by Bishop Maximus.

Most of the miniatures used here come from the Citadel C03 Clerics series, mainly - if not exclusively ? - designed by Bob Naismith, plus a few models designed by Aly Morrison for Talisman, and one C46 pilgrim model designed by Trish Carden. I still have some doubts about "Candle head", it looks like Jes Godwin's work to me.

Regarding the conversions, I've tried to emphasize the religious aspect of my pilgrims by adding candles wherever I could. For "Candle head", I had in mind the Dark Souls III Grand Archives Scholar (I'm still trying to find a model suitable for the "candelar sword")

Dark Souls III Grand Archives Scolar

For the standard bearer, I have trimmed down all the cabalistic signs on the robe of the wizard Norri Skullspearer, replaced the staff by a brass rod, glued the flag initially held by a priest of the Helldorado game, and topped by a set of plastic candles from the Luminark of Hysh box.

As for the cleric of the BBD1 Dungeon Adventurers set, I have restored the original equipment by replacing the ankh of my variant by a greenstuff cross.

For Cleric Saint Ogg, I've simply replaced the original head by the hood of a Necromunda Cawdor ganger to give him a more sinister look: 

 Regarding the painting, I've tried to apply the same palette on every model:

• Robes based with a mix of VMC Beige and VMC Chocolate Brown, darkened with Chocolate Brown and VMC Dark Sea Blue and highligthed with Beige and VGC Dead Flesh, 
• Hoods based with VGC Heavy Charcoil, darkened with pure black and highlighted by adding VGC Bone White to the base,
• Candles based with GW Rakarth Flesh, then TMP Strong Tone, then VMC Sky Grey and finally VMC Ivory,
• NMM using a mix Dark Sea Blue and VMC Mahogany Brown, then P3 Greatcoat Grey, then VMC Sky Blue and white.

BC1 (Adventurers Starter Set) - Devout Cleric

C03 - Ancient Word

C03 - Ebonite

TL9 - Pilgrim

C46 - Harold the Pilgrim

TL1 - Monk

TL9 - Pilgrim

 Last but not least, the bishop!

TL4 - Priest

 

And the third regiment completed:

 OK. Time to count the points:

• 12 pilgrims (count as Helblitzen) with standard bearer: 13 x 9 = 117 points
• Bishop Maximus, Lvl 10 wizard = 85 points
• TOTAL = 202 points

Good luck to everyone, and see you next month!
