Ossburd Cavalry
The Ossburd Cavalry is a resin model for the Albionnica Faction for Arcworlde. I half painted him not too long after the ‘Troubles in the North’ Kickstarter first edition expansion arrived but soon got distracted with other miniatures and games. It is a beautiful model full of character and I painted it as a mash up between a Chocobo from Final Fantasy and a giant chicken.
The first four pictures are where I restarted and WIP taken in, well, not great lighting conditions.
The Albionnican Empire stretches over many countries, and as such their soldiers are subjected to numerous different types of terrain and climate. Because of this, many different creatures are found as mounts in the Empire’s armies, to help tackle the landscape of the foreign lands. In the North, it is common to see Albionnican Cavalrymen mounted upon creatures known as ‘Ossburds’, name as such because, as one soldier gleefully told me, they are ‘birds that you ride like ‘osses”. Although skittish in the hands of an untrained rider, their thick coat of feathers serve not only as protection from the biting cold, but also from any attackers, and their razor sharp beaks and claws are more than handy in a scrap.

These final four are the completed model as of yesterday evening. I think you can still see some PVA glue drying on the yellow static grass. I hope you enjoyed looking!
