The End of the Whim Whim? (Wars of Ozz)

Hmm…that title sounded very ominous…are the Whim Whim, wiped out, a dead faction, lost forever in the sands of time, or at least the sands of the deserts of Ozz?

Well, the Whim Whim are still around! After 215 figures, I have just finished painting up this faction of nomadic desert-dwelling tribesmen! And before I moved on, I wanted to document the last few pieces of the Whim Whim faction that I have completed.

In a bit, you’ll get to see a video of the entire faction on the tabletop. But for now, what this post will cover are the last three SKU’s that I finished up. One SKU is the elite regiment of Whim Whim Janissaries (OZZ-1400), another is Sultan Whim himself (OZZ-1406), and the last one is the faction’s wizard, The Ancient Mystical One (OZZ-1405). The Janissaries are the same figures as the Whim Whim Spearmen I painted before, just with different colors. I will include some select WIP photos, as well as eye candy.

One reason for my relative photographic laxness is that I finished these off while fighting off COVID in early October! That was a bit of a struggle, but nothing I couldn’t overcome…eventually. Thus, my photography took a back seat to getting these figures done.

All of the figures are metal and 28mm in size. Let’s look at each in turn.

The Whim Whim Janissaries Regiment

The Whim Whim Janissaries Regiment (WWJR) is similarly-armed like the other spearmen. The difference is that their attributes are better. Neither type have missile weapons, and both have Melee values of 7/10 with a first-strike bonus. The WWJR has a Resolve value of 9/10 (50% higher than a regular spearmen regiment’s 6/10), and an Elan value of 10/10 (versus 8/10 for the regular spearmen). The WWJR costs 1 point more at 6 points. However, a Whim Whim brigade can only have one of them.

I decided that, like my previous spearmen, the WWJR needed a similar addition to the front of the shields to cover the little holes – but a different style.

I found some terracotta stars that fit perfectly on the head of a number 18 flat nail. With some really careful drilling, I managed to add the stars/nail combos to the shields and use them to support their mounting. I also used the DH-507 spear tip pennons again from Iron Winds Metals to jazz up the spears.

Additionally, as the elite infantry unit of the Whim Whim, I armed them with golden weapons. Yes, gold’s impractical in such a use, but it looks good! I also gave the regimental commander a rare albino siliyiplix as a mount. The Army List canon for them says:

Red armor and uniforms, brown boots. Turbans are white. Shields red with white trim. Spears have red pennons.

I used a metallic craft paint on the armor to decent effect. To offset so much red, I gave them white kilts. In the end, they do look a bit Santa-like with all the red. All the paints I used are listed at the end of this post for each project. Mainly for me as I often need to recreate a look!

Whim Whim Janissaries Regiment WIP Shots

I started these on September 22nd and finished them on October 7th. The key WIP I want to share is the star additions. I’ll share some shots below.

All filed, washed, and ready to get started.

I drilled out the shields twice. First, I did so with a pin vise that would give just enough space for the shaft of an 18-gauge flat head nail to pass through. Then I went on to VERY gently drilling out the shield with a 1/8″ drill bit on my power drill – such that the depth of the holes would allow the heads of the nails to nest flatly on the shields.

Here you see the 18-gauge nail head flush with the hole in the shield.

…and mocked up on the shields (not yet glued).

I used the alligator clip base for painting the shields. Once it was time to mount them into the holes that I had drilled into the wrists and hands of the Janissaries, I individually sized the cut needed on each nail.

Here you see how I individually sized up each nail – I needed enough length but not too much. Cutting the nails involved SLOWLY cutting around the nails at the right length with wire cutters in a circular fashion. Then I bent the excess steel off – without having nail shards ricochet into my eyes.

Now for the finished regiment!

Sultan Whim

The Sultan Whim figure comes listed as OZZ-1406 “Sulton Whim Carried on a Palanguin”. I will refer to him as “Sultan”. Also, technically a “palanquin” has a covered box – and he is on a litter with blankets and an umbrella. No worries, I just had to look up a few words to be sure myself. Litter, palanquin, call it what you want.

Sultan Whim WIP Shots

This project went pretty fast as far as assembly and painting goes. I made a small 3″ by 5.75″ styrene base for him, with steel bases underneath for magnetic storage and travel. I also built a placard holder on the back end. I mounted the bearers on it first and made sure that the litter would fit by manipulating and bending the arms, then lining them up with a steel ruler. The bearers were easy to paint this way – and I ended up using my alligator clip modeling base to hold the litter for painting. I drilled out Sultan’s – um posterior – and put a screw in there to allow painting him to be easy as well. The umbrella was treated similarly.

Laying out the pieces and figuring out the right design. (The Ancient Mystical One is not part of this model and is on the right).

I used graph paper and a steel ruler to figure out both the appropriate base size and figure locations. You can see the placard holder and 12mm dice frames in the back.

Somehow I needed to figure a way to paint the Sultan – the image above is enough of a clue I think!

For painting, I tried to incorporate purples, oranges, and golds, as those were dominant colors I used in the different regiments of the same type. My concept was to give Sultan Whim a luxurious bed on his litter/palanquin to travel the desert while consuming a large turkey leg! In the game, the Sultan can give an attached unit Superior Fighting skills, and as an overall commander has the “Legendary” ability.

I started the model on October 8th, finishing it on October 10th.

This painted up very easily in one day as you can see. Skulls make painting so much easier!

The Ancient Mystical One has Spell and luck values of both 6/10. He does get three spells, at a cost of 2 points.

Lastly, I promised a video of all of the Whim Whim faction on the table. It consists of 11 regiments plus individuals:

Two Noobi Blowgun Regiments (40 figures)
Two Noobi Leader bases (4 figures)
Two Noobi Witch Doctors (2 figures)
Two Whim Whim Spearmen Regiments (42 figures)
Three Brigade Commanders (3 figures)
Two Whim Whim Chariot Squadrons (4 chariots of 8 figures each)
Two Regiments of Whim Whim Cavalry
Two Regiments of Whim Whim Bowmen (42 figures)
One Whim Whim Janissaries Regiment (21 figures)
One Sultan Whim base (6 figures)
The Ancient Mystical One (1 figure)

Here is an overall view of the faction:

Here is the video:

I hope that you have enjoyed this Whim Whim journey with me. As the Wars of Ozz is a post-apocalyptic world, the Whim Whim Janissaries, Sultan Whim, and The Ancient Mystical One you have seen here are eligible for Dave Stone’s recent painting challenge, “APOCALYPSE ME 2024”. It might not be the apocalypse many of you envisioned, but it is in Ozz!

Thanks for looking – and now on to the Temujicans – sworn enemies of the Whim Whim!

The Whim Whim get some real fire support! Two regiments of dead-eyed Bowmen (Wars of Ozz)

In my last post I wrote about the two regiments of Whim Whim cavalry that I painted up in August 2024. There, I mentioned that while each brigade of these desert nomads can have up to six regiments of spearmen, they are limited to just one unit of cavalry, chariots, bowmen, or Janissaries, and just two units of Noobi. With the figures that I have, I believe that I will be fielding two distinct brigades of Whim Whim, with common color features that do not distract from the canon colors.

Regarding bowmen, I had two Whim Whim Bowmen regiments (WWBR) to paint. Each has 20 bowmen and a mounted leader on the common 6-eyed multiple-tailed beasts called siliyiplix. The SKU number is OZZ-1401. The figures are metal, and 28mm in size. The bowmen came in five different poses. My goal was to get these done between golf rounds in September!

On the Wars of Ozz website the photo of the regiment is as shown below:

Website photo of the Whim Whim Bowmen (OZZ-1401).

The Army list file from the Wars of Ozz Facebook group page shows the following regarding colors:

“Sand-colored tunics, white turbans, brown boots.”

So, not much in terms of restrictions there – and that left me with a lot of room to both follow the canon and add my own colors to make some differentiation between the two regiments. I decided to make these color choices:

Greenish-yellow (1st Regiment) and orange (2nd Regiment) mounts as I did for the cavalry, as well as yellow (1st Regiment) and orange (2nd Regiment) saddles.
Aztec yellow (1st Regiment) and copper helmets (2nd Regiment).
Dark green kilts and leader sashes (1st Regiment) and light green kilts and leader sashes (2nd Regiment).
Yellowish-sand tunics (1st Regiment) and tan-sand tunics (2nd Regiment).
Light (1st Regiment) and dark-colored (2nd Regiment) bows and spears.
Three different beard colors (grey, dark grey, and black) were also used to vary the figures. I figured that these WWBR’s would be a more logical place for older warriors.
For the white turbans, I used Army Painter “Speed Paint – Blinding Light 2.0” for the first time. In color, it is very similar to Citadel “Apothecary White”. Also similar to the Citadel product, it is not quite white enough – but a little dry brush action with some off-white paint on the turbans remedied that. I will say that the AP product flowed better – and was less difficult to mix and distribute the pigment after shaking. Both are good, I just think I’ll prefer the “Speed Paint – Blinding Light 2.0” version going forward.

I do list all of the exact paints and more that I used at the end of the post for those interested in such information.

WWBR are excellent missile units that cost 6 points. In the game, their bows are equivalent to muskets in terms of combat power and range. The WWBR have a Marksmanship value of 8/10. In Melee, they are still relatively stalwart at 6/10. The WWBR have similar a Resolve value (ability to stand against an attack) and Elan value (desire to get into and stay in a fight)of 6/10.

I started work on my WWBR’s on August 30th and finished them on September 20th. I’ll share some WIP work below, and then some eye candy of the completed regiments.

Whim Whim Bowmen WIP Shots and Discussion

Unlike the cavalry, there was minimal assembly here (just for the leaders and the drummers).

The two regiments as received. Note that there were 5 different poses of the bowmen.

Mold-line and flash removal preceded washing of the figures on September 1st.

Once again I brush-primed both units to use up my 200ml primer bottle of Vallejo Mecha White Primer that was clogging my airbrush. I have about 20% left and don’t want to waste it. After the primer had had a day to cure, I added a wash with Army Painter Dark Tone – by September 2nd. Next, I dry-brushed both regiments with an off-white paint.

The two regiments are here primed and mounted for painting. I used popsicle sticks with similar poses put together, as well as the stand with alligator clips for the components that needed assembly.

I worked on and off on the WWBR’s through September 15th – usually anywhere from a half hour to more at a time. By then, the figures were done.

As I had only lightly glued the figures to the popsicle sticks (with PVA glue), they were easy to detach on September 16th.

I have found that sequential basing works best for these desert dudes and the sand basing paste. Normally, infantry are mounted four figures to a base. By sequential, I mean that I use Gorilla Glue to affix two of the four figures to the 2″ square steel bases. Then I apply the sand basing paste/texture paint to the sides of the bases with the two figures – and let that dry. I then glue on the remaining two figures to each base. Next, I apply the remaining unpainted parts of the bases with the sand paste, and let that dry.

This photo shows the dried sand paste covering half of the steel bases and a recent add of the remaining figures on September 16th.

The remaining parts of the bases here are recently covered with the sand paste on September 16th. Application of three pigments and two types of varnish came next.

I then mounted the figures on poster tack-covered specimen jars (as seen in the gallery below). This I did in order to add three types of sandy pigments before using my air brush to varnish everything.

2nd Regiment stand after varnishing but before final flocking and flags are added.

Once the two coats of varnish dried, I flocked everything with rocks and tufts, then added the flags. On September 20th – these were 100% done.

So how did they come out…let’s see! Click on any image to see them better.

The completion of these two WWBR’s brings me up to 187 painted figures for the Whim Whim faction. Right now, for Whim Whim units, I have just one regiment left to paint – the elite Janissaries.

I hope that you enjoyed these two and that it was of interest. I’d be interested in any feedback on my color choices – as it is Ozz!

And yes, I still have much more Ozz to come…

Whim Whim Cavalry to the front!

After the wild time that I had painting up my LED mushrooms and crystals, I needed to get back to painting more Whim Whim units. This time, it would be the two cavalry regiments that I had. These would augment the Whim Whim Chariot regiments that I have already completed for cavalry forces.

Each Whim Whim brigade can have up to six regiments of spearmen. However, each brigade is limited to a single regiment each of chariots, a single regiment of cavalry, and one of janissaries. They for example cannot have two regiments of cavalry, but could have a chariot and a cavalry and a janissary. When I have completed the Whim Whim, I will have enough to field two to three separate brigades. Each of these two cavalry (WWCAV) regiments will be assigned to different brigades.

And a word about “cavalry”. When I first saw these, I immediately thought “camelry”. On further learning that the mounts were not camels, but called siliyiplix. Yes, try pronouncing that… Further, are these “siliyiplixery” units, what is the plural? Never mind, it’s Ozz! Oh, and they have 6 eyes and double or triple tails too!

On the Wars of Ozz website the photo of the regiment is as shown below:

The Army list file from the Wars of Ozz Facebook group (it’s a private group but when/if you ask to join reference me) shows the following regarding colors:

“Green tunics, white turbans. Mounts are yellow or
orange. Spears do not have pennons.”

As I had the two WWCAV’s, and as I always try to have some differentiation between similar regiments, I decided to make these color choices:

Greenish-yellow (1st Regiment) and orange (2nd Regiment) mounts
Dark green (1st Regiment) and light green (2nd Regiment) tunics
Yellow (1st Regiment) and orange (2nd Regiment) saddles
Aztec yellow (1st Regiment) and (2nd Regiment) copper helmets
Red (1st Regiment) blue (2nd Regiment) sashes and boots
Light (1st Regiment) and dark-colored (2nd Regiment) spears

Each WWCAV regiment consists of 10 mounted troopers and a mounted regimental commander. The unit is found on the website as SKU OZZ-1402. Therefore I had a total of 22 figures for both. The figures are metal, and are 28mm scale.

Similar to other cavalry units in Ozz, the WWCAV are quite powerful and can have a great shock effect when used properly. The most combat power is due to a Melee value of 8/10. They are armed with spears but have no missile capabilities. The WWCAV regiments are above-average with a Resolve (ability to stand against an attack) value of 7/10, 2 better than the chariots. Their desire to get into and stay in a fight (Elan) is also 7/10. Point-wise, they cost 6 points per WWCAV. The sculpts of both the siliyiplix and the riders have a few differentions, but they are massive together and look impressive.

I started work on my WWCAV’s on August 10th and finished them on August 28th. I’ll share some WIP work below – these did involve a good bit of hobby work.

Whim Whim Cavalry WIP Shots and Discussion

I worked on the different components separately. These were:

The siliyiplix mounts and rider legs
The riders’ torsi
The riders’ heads

I decided to work on each component separately. First, I performed the obligatory filing off of mold lines and removal of flash. I also drilled out for mounting of the drummers’ drums and each of the heads. Then it was on to washing the metal before priming it.

All cleaned and drying – I use an old electric toothbrush with dishwashing soap.

As my 200 ml primer bottle of Vallejo Mecha White Primer was clogging my airbrush, I went with a brush application. I won’t be buying any more 200ml primers or varnishes any more btw, they are not reliable long-term for airbrush use. I’ll buy 60 ml from now on.

I brush-primed the lot – and used my alligator-clip stand and popsicle stick jigs to mount for painting for the torsi.

Then I added a wash with Army Painter Dark Tone by August 15th.

Then it was dry-brushing time with off-white. By August 18th I had made some progress.

By the 24th, I was on my way to getting ready for assembly – though it felt like these were taking forever!

I finished assembly and on the 26th started to apply the sand paste for the bases, adding and gluing on one figure at a time.

Once that paste had dried, I added pigments before using my air brush to varnish everything. The last step was to flock everything with rocks and tufts.

And yes, my siliyiplix have pink eyes (well, magenta really)! So do the Noobi.

Enough WIP, time now for…

Perhaps this project also may qualify for Dave Stone’s “Season of Scenery 2024” community painting challenge as he includes vehicles – that is, if siliyiplix count as vehicle? Either way, Dave, much thanks for running that!

As for my remaining Whim Whim units, I have two regiments of bowmen and one janissary left to paint. I appreciate that you took a look and I hope that it was of interest.

And yes, I still have much more Ozz to come…

Whim Whim Chariots pulled by Great Desert Aepyers (Wars of Ozz)

I mentioned in my last post that I would have cavalry units coming up next to augment the Whim Whim – and here they both are – “Whim Whim Chariots pulled by Great Desert Aepyers”.

What are Aepyers, let alone Great Desert ones? It seems that they are similar to either jackals or the ancient Egyptian god Anubis. They definitely have that feel.

Image of Anubis on an Egyptioan sarcophagas, from *World History Encyclopedia*

In Wars of Ozz games, a Whim Whim Chariot Regiment (WWCR) consists of two chariots deployed abreast in a column formation (never in line formation) on 2″ x 4″ bases. This is due to the physical size of the models. The two chariot bases in the regiment are always deployed abreast, and each base acts as two normal Ozz bases. By this I mean that one chariot base counts as two bases. When the regiment has taken four hits – then it is treated as a three-base unit. After four more hits, the regiment becomes a two-base unit with one of the two chariot bases removed. After 4 more hits, it becomes a one-base unit. Each chariot is pulled by 4 Aepyers, and has three figures inside. I had two regiments to paint up for Historicon.

The unit is found on the website as SKU OZZ-1403. With 2 bowmen, a driver, a chariot,and 4 Aepyer per WWCR base – that makes a total of 32 figures for both WWCR’s together. WWCR’s are quite powerful. They are treated as cavalry, and have all the shock advantages as other cavalry units. They also have missile capabilities with their bows. Their Marksmanship is exceptionally good with a value of 8/10. The WWCR’s are average in Melee with a value of 6/10. They do not have regimental commanders.

As far as their ability to stand fast against an attack, the WWCR’s are average with a Resolve value of 6/10 – but as it’s tough for infantry to charge cavalry in Ozz games, this is better than you’d expect. Their desire to get into and stay in a fight is average with an Elan value of 6/10. Point-wise, they cost 6 points per WWCR. The figures are 28mm and metal. The Aepyers have basically two different sculpts.

The WWCR photo from the website is below.

As you will see below, I made some modeling and color modifications. I thought that instead of scoring the metal on the chariots to look like wood, that I would actually use wooden matchsticks to achieve that look. I did this before on my conquistador ships. I also wanted to rig the yokes with thread, As I had two regiments, I took some liberties with the color schemes to differentiate them from each other on their wheels, uniforms, and Aepyers.

I started work on all of these WWCR’s right after the 4th of July (the 6th actually) with the hope of finishing them before leaving for Historicon on July 18th. These took a few twists and turns that you will see in the WIP shots next.

Whim Whim Chariots WIP Shots and Discussion

The pieces of both WWCR’s, filed and washed and prepped for priming on July 6th.

I decided to work on the figures separately from the chariot components. As I did with the WW spearmen regiments, I mounted the chariot crew figures themselves on popsicle sticks for painting instead of the specimen jars that I usually use to save space.

I first cut and glued the wooden matchsticks to the chariots, and brush primed them when dry.

The chariots modified with the matchsticks. The one on the far left has been primed. My goal was to have them look dark but weathered.

I primed, gave a wash application, and dry brushed all the components.

By July 9th, I had made some progress on the project as seen below.

By the next day (July 10th), I had made some more progress.

July 11th and 12th saw me more approaching asssembly and base preparation.

After I assembled the chariots, it became obvious that attaching the yokes to the Aepyers needed a special approach if I was to successfully mount and rig everything – and attach to the poles on the chariots.

I chose to mount the Aepyers to a 2″ square steel base first. Then, once they were in position, I would add their yokes across their backs – shaping to the different heights of their saddles. Next, I would add basing paste to the bases to hide the steel bases under the Aepyers. I would then glue that assembly to the styrene base, and add more basing paste to hide the steel bases’ edges.

At this point I would be able to determine the exact position of each set of chariot wheels by mocking the set up. I marked those spots on the styrene, and scored depressions there for the wheels. I next covered the rest of the base with the basing paste, and let that dry (with some hair dryer help), leaving the depressions alone.

July 15th saw the final assembly. Once dry enough, I then mounted the wheels into the depressions, and used Gorilla Glue to hold the wheels and the flippy pole onto the yoke. I added some pigments to the sand, then rigged with some sewing thread. Then it was on to varnishing and flocking and I was finally done on July 15th. Phew!

I hear you – “Mark that’s a LOT of WIP”. Yes, so it’s time for…

Eye Candy

1st Whim Whim Chariot Regiment (front left view)

As with my WW Spearmen, these did make their first brief tabletop battle at Historicon in July. I did not feel well at Historicon, but managed this picture of their encounter with a regiment of Gillikin Dire Wolves.

At Historicon – I think the fight favored the WWCR.

This project also qualifies for Dave Stone’s “Season of Scenery 2024” community painting challenge as he includes vehicles. Thanks Dave for running that!

I still have more Whim Whim units to paint up over the rest of the summer, but I’ve made a nice dent in the pile…

Did you enjoy this WIP-heavy post? Any feedback – any favorite WWCR? Let me know! I always thank you for looking!

And yes, I still have much more Ozz to come…

Whim Whim Spearmen Regiments and Brigade Commanders (Wars of Ozz)

It’s been a while since I had a chance to finish a blog post on any new Wars of Ozz units. That doesn’t mean that I have not been working on any – in fact between golf since April (which you have seen a bit about here in this blog), HUZZAH in May, I have posted about the Noobi, allies of the Whim Whim. I have been working my way through some Whim Whim units.

The Whim Whim are nomadic tribesmen who hail from the southern “underbelly” of Ozz. This faction has many very cool units, especially in terms of cavalry and infantry. (However, artillery? Nothing – as is appropriate for these nomads.)

Still, I have enough figures to build two brigades for the Whim Whim in concert with the Noobi. I decided to start with an infantry core – with 2 Whim Whim Spearmen Regiments (WWSR’s). As a Whim Whim brigade can have up to 6 WWSR’s, this seemed to me to be a good start on the brigades. Of course, the two brigades would need leaders. My good friend Greg Priebe also 3D printed some “Ottoman Noble Admirals” for me that will serve as either ersatz brigade or divisional commanders until more are avaialble from Old Glory. I worked on the leaders at the same time as I did on the WWSR’s.

The regiments are listed on the website under “The Kingdom of Whim Whim Tribes” as SKU#1400, “Whim Whim Spearmen with Command”. There are 4 command figures, 16 spearmen, and a regimental leader mounted on a siliyiplix in each regiment. Don’t worry – I cannot pronounce it (the mount) either – but it’s the common one for the WW. Apparently it’s a camel-like animal with 6 eyes and a double tail. This is Ozz after all… That makes a total of 42 figures for both WWSR’s together.

As the WWSR’s are only armed with long thrusting spears, Marksmanship is irrelevant for them. The WWSR’s are, however, very good in Melee with a value of 7/10 – plus they get an extra die in the first round of Melee, giving them a nice shock advantage. As far as their ability to stand against an attack, the WWSR’s are average with a Resolve value of 6/10. They do more enjoy more getting into and remaining in a fight with an Elan value of 8/10. Point-wise, they cost 5 points per WWSR. The figures are 28mm and metal. There are a few very subtle differences among the spearmen as far as the individual sculpts go.

On the website, the WWSR photo has them with paper pennons attached to their spears. Additionally, there are no protrusions from their shields where the little holes are. The website photo is below.

I decided that I would modify my WWSR’s in these two areas. First, I would change the spear tips with an Iron Wind Metals spear tips product that I remember using in my Ral Partha Rooman project that I did a while back. That product is now sold under IWM, is very reasonably priced, and is called SKU#DH-507 “Banner Spear Head Sprue”. There are 6 tips per sprue.

The other modification that I made was to disassemble the little balls from a pull-chain (the kind that lights use), and add them to the shield fronts where the holes are. As for colors, the 1st Regiment would have a purple theme, and the 2nd an orange theme – which is completely fine with the canon. I started working on these back in late May.

As for the leaders, Greg printed up Wargames Atlantics SKU WAAD00063, “Ottoman Noble Admirals”. He mailed me 5, of which 3 bodies and 5 heads survived the USPS journey.

The figures curing in Greg’s Laboratory of fun.

I started work on all of these (45 figures in total) back in May – and with my modifications it took a while (there was a LOT of drilling and gluing). Another issue really added to the time for this project – 1.0 versions of Speed Paint.

I mistakenly forgot that one of the the purple paints that I used (Army Painter “Purple Alchemy”) and one of the orange ones (Army Painter “Fire Giant Orange”) were not 2.0 but were instead 1.0 versions. As a result, I didn’t mix them initially with Citadel “Contrast Medium” – which I normally do to avoid the notorious bleeding in the 1.0’s. AARGH!

This led to a lot of repainting, but luckily it was mainly on the shields. I do want you to know that after mixing with the Citadel “Contrast Medium”, no bleeding occurs in my experience. I just have many more 2.0’s than 1.0’s, so I forgot – and I have had no bleeding issues with the 2.0’s.

Now onto WIP shots for both the WWSR’s and the leaders!

Whim Whim Spearmen WIP Shots and Discussion

I mounted the figures themselves on popsicle sticks for painting instead of the specimen jars that I usually use to save space.

By the end of May I had the WWSR’s drilled out (for shields, heads, and spears!), primed, washed and dry brushed.

I needed a jig to hold the spears while they were assembled and paint dried on them – not ideal but it worked.

Then I worked on the two regimental commanders and their siliyiplixes (is that the plural???).

I used a new (to me) pumice sand-basing paint/paste on the bases. I acquired it from Shadow’s Edge Miniatures and it is called Shadow’s Edge Miniatures Earth Works Dirt Colors “Sand Dust”. It comes in a 230ml/8 oz jar and I really liked it a lot. The only downside is that there is no photo on the website – you just have to choose “Sand Dust”. I have a photo below of the jar mid-project after using a lot!

Shadow’s Edge Miniatures “Earth Works Dirt Colors Sand Dust”

By mid-June I had the infantry figures mainly painted and ready for weapons and shields.

You notice that I alternated drilling out on the forearms and the hands for the shield mounting so as to give more differentiation.

With the final proximity of each figure to each other on a 2″ base, I needed to sequentially add the basing paste. First, I added the basing texture where the figures were to be affixed with Gorilla Glue. I got help from my granddaughter Tabitha who had fun doing this.

Here you can see the sequential process that I followed – which allowed much easier application of the “Sand Dust” texture paint between the figures – but this added TIME.

After the “Sand Dust” had dried, I added three pigments to give better subtlety to the sand (and all the paints that I used are listed at the end of the post). Then I added varnish and flocking. By the end of June I had them completed and varnished as well as the leaders – but let’s get to their WIP next.

Whim Whim Brigade Commanders WIP Shots and Discussion

The brigade commanders went much more quickly as the drilling was limited to their heads! The figures looked great.

After assembly, I followed the same procedure as with the WWSR’s.

Two of the heads on paper clip wire after dry brushing

Bodies after drybrushing. I painted the figures then assembled them.

Before basing, I had these looking pretty good.

Then I was on to basing them like the WWSR’s, except this time on MDF bases.

Basing showing the figures with and without pigments on the sand on their bases.

Enough WIP I’d say – let’s jump into some…

And the leaders:

Older Leader with a red turban from the front

Older Leader with a red turban from the side

Both WWSR’s and the three Brigade Leaders assembled

These did make their first tabletop battle at Historicon in July, as did another Whim Whim unit – but I’ll save those pics for the next post. That will be coming shortly (so I can get caught up)! Let’s just say it will be cavalry units that required some modeling for sure.

I now have a full box of Whim Whim and Noobi – though in retrospect I should have slightly trimmed the spear shafts to fit better height-wise in the Really Useful Box.

I hope that this was enjoyable to read. Your feedback in the comments section is always appreciated – and thank you for looking!

And yes, I still have much more Ozz to come…
