Commission Sold US

​

Another Restoration Commission. This time it was not just one by 2 miniatures. Also, this project did not only involve 2 miniatures but and entire set x2 this because this time I had to work on 2 Bretonnian War Machines - The Bretonnian Field Trebuchet. Each war machine consisted of 11 parts + 5 crew and 2 more extra parts.

Since the client wanted them to be the centerpiece of his army, he requested that both war machines have a custom build base, with an outer defensive wall and the possibility to swap the crew was he liked on a certain position on the base itself. I jumped to the idea of this base and added a small surprise for my client by giving each base a small atmospheric story.

The idea for this story came from the small boy on a wheelbarrow and readying a sling that comes with each set. I began to think about what a small boy could be aiming with such a small weapon. Well, there is a lot of nasty this that he could be aiming in the Warhammer World but I wanted something at his level. I remembered that somewhere in my collection I had 3 bases of stontlings which seemed to fit perfectly with this idea. It was so that I cast a copy of 2 of these and added them to the base to simulate a stontling invasion and give something to do to the small boys. As all know war does not take care of anyone especially in the Warhammer world.
