Posting these as they are maybe of interest, in that they address the ongoing Border Ruffian project but also the potential Ancient Greek - 'Mortal Gods' - opportunities talked about by John.
First-up is three shots of an Immortal Miniatures (now Warlord) ancient Greek unarmoured character, with Helmet, Shield and Sword.

This chap is out the box, glued together and placed on a 20mm MDF disk (2mm deep).I undercoated in white as usual, used a cream colour for his tunic, Brass and steel for all else and detailed the shield with leather and wood backing, red rope grips and I printed a Shield design that I attached to the figure with PVA glue and lashings of matt varnish.

Figure looks respectable but thinking may look to get a frame of the Victrix Ancient Greeks to contrast and compare.

Next up is an Elizabethan Irishman armed with a matchlock musket, sword and large knife. I'm really quite pleased with this figure, a mash-up of plastic Victrix Anglo-Danes and Warlord ECW Musketeers. Again the figure was undercoated in white, then painted with appropriate colours.

| Irish Kern, armed with Musket |
The right arm moving to steady the shouldered musket is actually from a Gripping Beast Arab Light Cavalry box, now that I come to think of it!

Finally we have a Warlord ECW Pikeman, with blue bonnet and I'm thinking that this guy can pass for an Elizabethan pikeman if you don't look too hard and don't flood your army with too many similar looking figures.
