Building More Figures for Trench Crusade

Random Observations

I really need to make something with this leather. It’s very good leather that’s been sitting for too long.

The Metal Collection

Check this out—my first love. I’ve been trying to collect all the Mage Knight and Chainmail metals over the years. Some I got direct from the sculptors.

I’ve never painted them because I’ve always been afraid to. I’m going to include these in my goals for next year—finally paint them and not be afraid anymore. These are painter’s edition proofs, some unreleased pieces, RA parts. Really cool stuff.

12,000 Points is a Lot

Turns out 12,000 points is a lot in Trench Crusade, so we’re going to have to paint more!

Building Without the Printer

Since the 3D printer is still out of commission, I’m doing this the hard way. I printed a new War Profit already, so the guy I was using becomes my resurrected zealot strength trench pilgrim since he’s bigger.

I need to make two more nuns and some pilgrims. Luckily I printed a ton of bases when I first printed them.

Finding Cool Minis

There’s actually a ton of cool minis in my collection. A lot I wanted to use for Forbidden Solomon Warborg. The Bird Song Miniatures ones aren’t 3D printed—they’re resin cast from Australia. Boris is the sculptor.

Can nuns have pistols? I know they’re better in close combat, but a pistol nun seems pretty cool. These flintlock pistols look amazing. But I don’t know if I want to paint her grimdark—she’s such a cool model. Need to make sure she still matches the rest of the warband.

The Cross Bearer

This guy carries a cross which is just sick. He has scrolls and I’m going to say he’s my musician—the crier, the town crier style. That’ll be sick.

The Organized Toolbox

Check this out! I finally started cleaning this out. Scrubbed out all the drawers. Tools, pens, knives, Scale 75 colors organized. I’m starting to have a place for things to go.

I knew exactly where my superglue was. I knew exactly where my basing material was. That’s the power of organization.

Processing the Models

I popped the first foot off very carefully—these are 3D printed so fragile. I’m cutting the base out with a fresh box cutter blade because if I bust this leg or foot, it’s going to be so terrible.

Tomorrow’s video will be about painting them!

Transcript

I really need to make something with this. This is a lot of leather. That’s very good leather that’s just been sitting. So, coming soon. Look, check uh check this out.

Not this. This is one machine. This is a looking forward to painting. Um my first love. I have been trying to collect all the metals over the years.

So, I’ve never like I’ve never made like a real attempt at it, but I’ve been trying to get as many of them like when I see deals and stuff. And some of the stuff I actually got direct from the sculptors, too. But I have never painted them cuz I’ve always been afraid to paint them. So, I’m going to probably include these in with my goals for next year to finally paint them. And then these are like this is one of the proofs originally.

Um, just really cool stuff in here. I think this is a lot of the plastic ones. Uh some some unreleased. I think these are probably RA parts and stuff. Uh so just going through here’s some of the painters edition Jacone.

So adding these into the list to finally paint and not be afraid of painting them anymore. So it turns out uh 12,000 points is a lot of points in Trench Crusade. So we’re going to have to paint more. Okay. So since the 3D printer is uh still out of commission, going to have to do this the hard way.

Um, I did print off a cool new War Profit already, so I’ve had him waiting to get painted. So, he’s our new War Profit. And then this is our who I was using as my war profit. This guy will now be our resurrected zealot strength trench pilgrim since he’s a little bit bigger than everybody. I think I’m gonna have to rebase him.

So, we’ll we’ll keep him out. All right, bases. Luckily, I think I have some more in here I can use. Hopefully, we’re we’re hoping There’s another one. Uh I’m hoping I’ll be able to make some nuns.

Yeah. Okay. say I printed off a ton of bases when I printed them. So, I think I’m going to need to make two more nuns and some pilgrims. Hope hopefully that’ll be enough.

So, we’ll see what I got. So, there’s actually a ton of cool minis in here. A lot of them I wanted to use I plan on using for Forbidden Solomon Warborg. Uh but not most of them are like evil looking guys. I’ve got a couple that I think I can use for Trench Pilgrims, but not quite what I’m looking for in this box.

Also, also from uh Westfallia and also I think uh from from Boris. This is from the Elvin release they did. I absolutely love the book. Well, I think it’s a series, but uh only the first ones in English, and my German is uh not that great yet. So, uh man, these are so cool.

I definitely got to add these to the the tryh hard painting just like most of that last box I had, too. Can nuns have pistols? I know they’re like better in close combat, but a pistol nun seems pretty cool. But if you’re if they’re in armor, you know, I think this figure is like pretty slim and like slender and they have the greatsword and it’s kind of like a similar pose as the other nun and that’s just a cool model that’d be fun to paint up. And then so I’m thinking those will be my other my next two nuns.

Maybe that’s what it is. There we go. I guess I guess had a little bit too close. So if those and this guy just kind of like he carries this this cross which which is just sick. So he carries the cross and then he has these scrolls and I’m going to say he’s my musician and he’s like the the crier the town crier kind of style.

just I think that’ll be that’ll be sick. So, there’s a pilgrim. Okay, so I just double checked and with what I with what I currently have painted, um I just need to paint these get these four guys ready and I’ll be able to make it work. So, going to get these guys built. Check this out.

Check Let me zoom out some. Uh I finally started cleaning this out. Um, I scrubbed out all the drawers, and now tools, pens, knives, working on, uh, getting all of my Scal 75 colors in here, paints organized. Uh, I’m starting to have a place for things to go. So, I actually know my superlue is right here.

All right, so I popped this first foot off very carefully here because these are just 3D printed so fragile. So, what I’m trying to do, this is a fresh box cutter blade, is I’m cutting the base out, and I’m just going to chunk the base because if I bust this leg or this foot, uh, it’s just going to be so terrible. So, there we go. Okay, I think I got all the supports off. Uh, but I’m sure as soon as I wash this back, there’s going to be more ease.

I think it’s the bird song miniatures. They’re not 3D printed. These are resin cast that uh that I got from Australia and I think Boris Boris forgot his last name is the sculptor um for these other ones. This one’s 3D printed. This one I’ll look up.

I know I got it on my manufacturer, but I’ll have to look up where he came from. But it is pretty cool. And he’s comes in a ton of different parts if you want. But I really just kind of like the way that he he comes. So yeah, I think this is definitely going to be perfectly fine.

Battle nun. And then this one with the pistols. I think I might try to try to throw a sword or something on her back. Just these flint lock pistols look so cool. Um but again, I don’t know if I want to paint this her grim dark.

So this is such a cool model. I mean, they’re all cool. They’re all really cool, but I just don’t know if I want to do this one grim dark. And then I definitely want to make sure it still matches the rest of the war band. So, it’s it’s tough decision.

Okay, I’m going to get these guys primed and then tomorrow’s video will be about painting them. But that’s it for today. I’ll see you tomorrow.
