| Mr Ansell converses with Matthew Dunn, Stuart Klatcheff and Steve Casey at the Wargames Foundry, Newark. |
Judging by the response to posts of this type, fans of Bryan Ansell and the Wargames Foundry are legion so I thought it prudent to take a snap or two of the treasures he brought out to share on Saturday's Lead of Winter event.
This time it was shields. All manner of shields.
There were all manner of different designs and other odds and ends on show. This beautifully made sun disk face caught my eye immediately.
Gruesome faces dominate the the collection, but there were plenty of strange stick like figures spread across many of the greens.
Some has also been painted, like this little trio or gorgeously finished shields. Incredible colours and attention to detail.
All manner of strangeness here - I am pretty sure I have that multi-faced 'circle' off centre of this shot somewhere amongst the bits and pieces Kev Adams has given me. You can see the original green in the second picture of this blog post.
Perfect for a magical summoning circle or something, don't you think?
Those are fantastic. I imagine e most are for a chaos army.
ReplyDeleteThey are so varied you could easy find something to suit any miniature. Foundry already do lots of bits and strange bods like this if you look closely.
DeleteI really like the crazy stick figures. Very primitive/tribal in a non-cliched way.
ReplyDeleteYes so do I. They are very peculiar indeed and do have a tribal uniqueness as you say. They certainly make a change to skulls and spikes.
DeleteI think many of those are new sculpts...but the question is: are they ever going to be made available?
ReplyDeleteOne day, Bryan assured us.
DeleteOne of the problems with acquiring old miniatures is that you rarely get the shields. It would be great if someone did cheap bulk oldhammer shields.
ReplyDeleteYou are so Right here! I must admit to scouring the stands at Salute for shields in a similar vein to the old Citadel ones. Some of the historical manufacturers do some worthy pieces if you search around.
DeleteThese are simply wonderful and very inspiring! Ansell is a genius.
ReplyDeleteThis is but the tip of the iceburg of the unreleased stuff the Foundry have.
DeleteLove the menacing and crazy faces - but are these the work of Brian Ansell or Kev Adams(Goblinmaster)? They look very much the fine work of 'the Goblinmaster' who did stuff very similar to this. Goblinmaster or Ansell?
ReplyDeleteFrom what Bryan said I think the work you can see here came from a range of sources.
DeleteMostly Goblinmaster by the looks of things. Love his work - been collecting for years..good show!
DeleteRight...Keep up the great work Goblinmaster!!! Where is he now?
