When planning a warband or army for any other tabletop wargame, I find it useful to start with a theme or backstory. My converted Warhansa Rus is now fairly close in height to 28mm viking miniatures from other manufacturers. To distinguish these models from my warriors and to better represent a levy's 3/3 armor, I replaced their large round shields with small round shields (made by Footsore Miniatures).īelow is a size comparison photo. I'm going to use these as my Pagan Rus levy. I converted 8 out of 12 models in this way.

Eventually, I will use GS to extend the length of their ketill pants to cover the GS doweling. Using leftover rod from the metal javelins I armed them with, I pinned a short length of GS doweling between the two sections of leg. Using a hobby knife I cut off their lower legs where their leg wraps meet their ketill pants (aka puffy Russian pants). Their heads, arms, hands, and feet are slightly on the heroic-scale side of 28mm, but the length of their torsos and legs are a bit too short.įortunately, short legs are an easy fix. My only complaint is their overall height. There are a few air bubbles here an there, but very little flash and fewer mold lines than expected.

The minis are as-pictured on the website and the detail is good.
