Showcase: Freebooter's Fate

 

Heya, here's a little interlude of the Freebooter's Fate kind.

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood Figures

Back to Freebooter's Fate! Here are some more Brotherhood figures.

Showcase: Freeboooter's Fate Plague Doctor

Just another one-off for Freebooter's Fate's Brotherhood faction. 

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Piccina

Another character for one of the Brotherhood warbands I'm working on. It's Piccina, the girl with the huge crossbow.

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood Nobles

To end the series of Brotherhood figures on a high note - Nobility! 

From left to right: The Raven. I am really pleased with how the paintjob on her worked out. The model is very pretty in itself but sometimes a colour scheme just works out in a way that I of all people am the one who is the most surprised with the result. It just clicks. Master Assassin you have seen before so not toio many words will be lost on him. Very strong, evocative model. Last but not least, the Queen of Shadows. Great miniature and the little goblin lurking under her dress is a very funny touch.

Here we got the whole band again:

They are with their owner now for weeks and he is very pleased with the results. As am I. And I indeed hope that you enjoyed this series of articles on the results of this project too. There will be more Brotherhood in the future so stay tuned. And of course if the Freebooter's Fate bug bit you and you want a warband painted like this one don't hesitate to contact me.

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood Harlequins

This addition to the Brotherhood is Harlequin and Master Harlequina. My goal in painting these figures was making them colourful and stand out next to the rest of the Brotherhood but still keep a very cool, sinister look to them. The muted blue is tying them together with the more well-clothed models in the warband. While this Harlequin is just a dynamic, fun model (who looks great from behind with all the adornments), Master Harlequina is a complex and technically amazing figure. Look at how the different fabrics and materials fold.

Next time: The last installment of this series of stunning models!

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood Lesser Nobles

This group I called Lesser Nobles, only mostly because I they feature quite a lot of blue rather than the usual grey, brown or other things.

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood Weirdos

Okay, I dropped the ball on naming those guys. They didn't fit with any of the other guys so I just grouped them together as Weirdos.

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood Assassins

The next bunch of weirdoes. These probably are the most recognizably Brotherhoodian models from their range so I just called them assassins. 

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood Scoundrels

Time to have a closer look at the Brotherhood minis! I categorized them vaguely and crudely by what they look like to me. Very subjective, not necessarily grouped in the way they are sold but oh well. Let's start out with some scoundrels, the "low-life"/street thug looking ones.

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood

Here we got the whole happy family all together for a group shot. Yup, this is Freebooter Miniatures' whole Brotherhood range (for now). 

To an extent I always feel a tiny bit of a twitch when I have to give away finished models to their owners but this time it's almost sad having to part with these guys. What a wonderfully wacky and colourful bunch of maniacs. 

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Mercenary

Heya, here's another Freebooter's Fate mini for the Imperial Armada warband!

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Empire figures

Just to break up all the drabness of World War Two - here are some Freebooter's Fate miniatures I recently did for a local client. If you are not familiar with Freebooter's Fate, it's a slightly Fantasy-ish pirate-themed small-scale (about six to eight figures a side) skirmish game. Very solid set of rules. Absolutely stunning miniatures and there is a lot more to come so stay tuned!

Showcase: Freebooter's Fate Master Assassin

Another weirdo from the Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood range. ;) Weirdo but amazing model. I painted this one before a few years ago for another client and right from the get-go this model reminded me of Edgar Allen Poe's story Masque of the Red Death. And of House of Wax (the Vincent price one). 

All said, very, very evocative and cool miniature. Hope you like it too!

WIP: Freebooter's Fate Brotherhood Warband

This is a first WIP shot of a cool Brotherhood warband for Freebooter's Fate. The models of course are sculpted by the highly skilled Werner Klocke and I have to say that despite the fact that I don't play the game myself I am really starting to enjoy these sculpts. 

I have it on good authority that the game is pretty great as well. Certainly worth checking out. If you're looking for an in-depth review of the game, don't look farther than the ever so great Meeples and Miniatures Podcast. Episode #130 has a review of Freebooter's Fate.

This isn't even half the number of models I'm doing for the warband (well, the entire Brotherhood range actually) so stay tuned for more!
