Miniatures pt92 – (Not)-Elf Heroes
Due to a package taking the scenic route to arrive (several months), I had ended up reordering the [Elf Heroes](https://penpaperanddice.home.blog/2022/02/16/miniatures-pt67-elf-heroes/)from Alternative Armies and had two packages of them.
I don’t like having double poses in my skirmish games, but in most cases I can do away with uniform troops looking alike. In this case however this wasn’t possible so I went ahead and modified the second pack. Mostly an experiment with Greenstuff, filing, cutting and pinning. Some look better than the others, and it was a learning experience. I’ll definitely feel more at home next time I do this.
I can use them as elf mercenaries or even not elves, but generic mercenaries in fantasy.
Some words on modifications I attempted:
I modified the existing poses by bending the hands in different positions. I also bent the bastard sword into a flamberge.
I added a Polearm head into a spear. Made a few axes double headed. These were done with pewter sprues that I pinned and glued into place using a 1mm drill.
I added shields that I had from Battle Valor to any figures armed with 1-handed weapons. These also were pinned in place.
I cut off the elongated parts helmets and tried different designs. Some look better than others.
I used greenstuff to add cloaks, hoods and helmet visors, as well as making a breastplate, a banded cuirass and a leather cuirass.
Overall I learned a lot about greenstuff, and I am both amazed at the possibilities and awed at the skill required by the professional sculptors to produce miniatures. I am definitely gonna keep working with greenstuff as it’s really fun to do.

Miniatures pt80 – Octopods
The number 80 of this series of blog posts includes … what else, Octopods! These aliens are from Alternative Armies Hordes of Future range. On hindsight I should have painted the eyes a different colour, as they’re big enough to make them stand out. I might return and touch them up with a purple colour in the future.
I think they’ll make perfect pirates or other enemies for my Five Parsecs campaign or other similar sci fi games.
