Usually when I paint a single miniature it's either because it's something I need for a game or its some sort of cool critter that I don't have but wish I did. Today's addition is neither of those things.
I might be trying out the Advanced Fighting Fantasy rules (or I might not)...
I might need a replacement character for my current Warhammer Fantasy Role Play game (or I might not)...
I might need an additional sword armed warrior for Frostgrave and/or Rangers Of Shadow Deep (or I might not)...
But in any event if I need figures for any of the things listed above, they're all basically one figure. A friend recently hooked me up with 2 sprues of the old Empire Militia/Mordheim Human figures so I had a good base to work up from for something slightly different from a traditional D&D 'sword and board' style fighter.
In addition to the Mordheim sprues I used a head from the Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago sailor sprue and added a backpack from some Napoleonic-era soldiers I had kicking around.
I really like this figure because he looks and feels a bit more like an adventurer collecting his gear as he goes and bit less like an optimised RPG character.
I can't wait to figure out what game I actually painted him for :)
