Wishful Thinking Units : Monstrous Infantry Part 1
Hi everyone,
Mantic Ogres in Kings of War are great, but there is one unit type they do not have – Monstrous Infantry! I always found this strange, as the Warhammer Ogre army did have comparable infantry.
To circumvent this, I decided to use the Snow Trolls from the Northern Alliance as allies. The only problem I had was – which miniatures to proxy?, and that would fit into the theme of the army.
The answer came to me when I was browsing FantasyWelt’s website and found some Rune Wars miniatures selling at 50%! These golems where amoung the offering on the site – so I bought 4 boxes.
Altogether, I had 8 miniatures, in order to make 2 hordes of monstrous infantry. Unfortunately, they are too big to fit 3 models on a regiment base. I also decided to do some conversions to give these units some dynamism.
These are the original models assembled acording to instructions.
The next two golems only had slight changes. The first is the original and the second is slightly modified.
The same was done here. The second miniature had its arms re-positioned.
With the third pair, I reshuffled the body parts of both miniatures and resculpted the joints. Next week I will post the forth regiment. The last unit has the most work done in order to diversify the models. Then I will play a few games with them before painting them up.
Till next year, stay safe and have fun.
