Sorry About The Mess, It's The Maids Day Off

As I continue to base painted figures, I made my way to the really neat set of Victorian servants from West Wind Studios excellent Empire of the Dead line.

I'd had my eye on these for a while, as I thought they could fit perfectly into a 18th or 19th century skirmish scenario with my 4Ground manor complex. I think I found my Frau Blucher figure to go with my Young Frankenstein duo :) "Stay close to the candles, the staircase can be treacherous"

The two maids, ready for clean up.

The cook and the coachman.

The butler and the footman - which I had to look up exactly what a 'footman' was, a servant who serves at table, tends the door, and runs errands. 

I also went back and re-based one of my old pulp baddies just to see how much of a pain it would be to switch them all to clear bases. It was quite easy actually, just some touch up brushwork around the feet - so I guess 2018 will be the year of the big re-basing project :)

Almost finished with a 4Ground terrain piece I've been working on, so hopefully I can get that up before the new year.

Until next time, thanks for looking!
