Cadwollans, part 3

Another set of Confrontation pieces. For those of you who are unaware, Confrontation is scheduled for a revival within the year, so these fellows will be in good company.

Personally, I'm looking forward to trying out the game eventually. The miniatures, while a little cartoony, are some of the best I've had the pleasure to work with, and I'm hoping the game is as good as its aesthetic.

Cadwollans, part 2

What can I say? Rackham makes some great minis. I really like this second set (though not quite as eclectic as the last batch). I was going to point out my favorites, but I quickly realized that it would be faster listing the ones that weren't great to paint. There's a real weight and sense of place to their poses that I rarely see in other lines, and see in theirs almost every time. Most companies seem to be able to do a good action pose, but I'm a huge fan of Rackham's static and at-ease poses. It's a shame the company went under, but at least there's a decent used market and they're getting reproduced in resin now.

Also, if you haven't noticed an update schedule yet, it usually involves "I actually got a bit of time to photograph minis." I don't have a permanent photo studio/light box/anything like that, so I need to be able to commit a serious chunk of time to set up, meaning you'll see a few batches over a few days (until I get impatient and make a post).

Cadwallons

Game: Confrontation
Army/Faction: Cadwallon

Notes: I had always avoided Confrontation miniatures, as I felt they were a little cartoony and, more to the point, I was playing multiple game systems at any given time, so finances didn't really fit starting a new game (where I knew from past habits that I'd start at least 2 factions).

However, when this commission came, I was really impressed by these miniatures. While not always my taste, the detail and poses for these minis were superb. I look forward to painting more of these, and maybe eventually starting my own force (or two).
