Month: December 2024

The Temujicans are a fierce faction of green-skinned Gillikin-cousins that roam the deserts of the world of Ozz in search of plunder, enemies, and glory. Like their Whim Whim rivals, they have no artillery, and similarly rely heavily on cavalry more than infantry to win their battles. By “cavalry”, please know that these dudes ride rams and goats!

Over a month ago, I posted about my four Temujican infantry regiments (84 figures) that I built and painted. Since then I have been deep into completing the Temujican faction. By that I mean that I have been working on not one but FIVE regiments of Temujican cavalry (55 mounted figures) and three brigade commanders – 58 figures in total.

I will use these in several upcoming wargaming conventions in games that are already scheduled in February and April – that being COLD BARRAGE, TotalCon39, HMGS COLD WARS, HAVOC XXXIX 2025, and MAYHEM Gaming Convention 2025. I also plan on running games at HUZZAH in South Portland, ME (no link yet).

The regiments in question consist of two heavy cavalry and three light cavalry. The heavy cavalry can only move at the speed of infantry, and has inherent missile capabilities as well. The light cavalry moves at regular cavalry speed, and also has bows. They are very versatile compared with other cavalry units in Ozz. All figures are metal and 28mm. The stats and official colors of the Temujicans units and individuals can be downloaded here – and can be seen below:

A nice aspect of all Ozz cavalry figures is that the mounts come separate from the riders. This makes the painting somewhat easier. Still, these did take a long time for me to finish, primarily as the light cavalry had extra stuff (bow holders and quivers) to paint and assemble. And – unsurprisingly to regular readers of this blog – did go overboard on ensuring that EACH of the 33 light cavalry had differently-colored goats and dissimilar riders’ coats. Why?

Well, the answer is twofold. First, I wanted both of the regiments to have a look of relative nonuniformity as to their mounts and similarly I wanted that same effect on the light regimental coats. Secondly, in my paint inventory I now have over 78 different types of brown, 49 tans, and 41 grays. If you include some of the flesh tones and washes those numbers get even bigger. I wanted to use some of the ones I don’t usually use – or have never used – before they turn to hardened latex rubber. And I used several different flocking materials for the bases to give an Ozz-desert look. More on that to come.

For this post, with so many paints used, any semblance of WIP discussion is out the window. I simply think that sharing the photos of the completed figures will be enough. Let me know! At the end of the post you will see the list of paints and materials that I used by type of unit and/or individuals. Know that this is more paints that I have ever used on a single project – period. The lists themselves are a good record for me to use on future projects. With that said, feel free to scroll past the painting list when you get there and wonder if I am nuts after all.

Temujican Heavy Cavalry

Let’s start with the heavy cavalry. It is called “OZZ-534 EHC on Great Rams with Command”. The rams are armored – and resemble Bighorn Sheep.

I painted the rams like the Bighorns and added white patches on their rumps, faces, and leg backs. The two heavy regiments have differently-edged flag colors – light blue and light green. That difference became the centerpiece of my color differentiation that you will see below in their photos.

1st Temujican Heavy Cavalry Regiment

Lastly, another regimental shot:

2nd Temujican Heavy Cavalry Regiment

And here is the 2nd Temujican Heavy Cavalry Regiment in column formation:

There were three light regiments of cavalry as well. These are OZZ-510, “Light Cavalry on Great Rams” on the website, but these all to me really ride goats. Their flags have orange, red, and purple borders – so those became the hat colors for their respective regiments. Otherwise, I followed the canon on coat colors and went crazy on mixing up goat colors with more grays than browns and tans.

Here is the light cavalry photo from the Wars of Ozz website:

And here below are my three regiments of Temujican Light Cavalry…

2nd Temujican Light Cavalry Regiment

3rd Temujican Light Cavalry Regiment

I also mixed and matched figures to make three brigade commander stands for the Temujicans. These will command combined infantry and cavalry forces.

Group shots and a video!

Lastly, I thought I’d share a photo of all the cavalry and a video. First, a couple of group shots – there wasn’t room enough to add the infantry and still show details!

Lastly a couple of video links. I don’t do a lot on Instagram – but here is the video below and that link as well.

And here’s the Instagram link:

Now the list of madness….err paints!

Final Note

If you want to check out the excellent Wars of Ozz figures’ range – there are two places to get them and to get the rules (and I make no money from this btw). The game rules and the figures are available from the next two places:

In the US Old Glory has a site – Wars of Ozz Miniatures.

In the UK go to Sally 4th.

Thanks again for looking and for me – happy and pleased with my Temujicans and excited to move on to the next faction to share with you!!
