Mercenary and Monster Hunter

Here we have two largely unrelated figures. First, we have another member of the Coinpike mercenaries. She's another doppelsoldner with a zweihander, but unlike the previous one, she's wearing armor. She could also be an alternate captain for the company.

I think the face came out really well. She looks angry. She's going to ruin's somebody's day.

Everything but the head is from the Warlord Games landsknecht sprues. The head is from the Female Survivors sprue from Project Z.

The paint job leans into the red of the company colors, limiting the amount of green. The colors may look a little busy, especially with the dirty blonde hair, the bronze armor and the steel sword, but it works.

This brings us up to six total members of the Coinpikes.

Secondly, we have another monster hunting member of the wardens. This is a Reaper mini, one of the three from their "Women of Dreadmere (3)" pack.

While I like the pose, the actual molding is really soft and a little awkward. The face, especially, has a "potato-esque" quality, not helped by my mediocre paint job. It's good enough for the table, but it's not great.

Aside from the blue coat, she's got purple clothes and some steel armor(?) for color. I'm really not sure what those metal scales are supposed to be. Is there more armor under her outfit? Is it just decorative?

While these pictures don't show them side by side, the warden is about a head taller than the mercenary. The 28mm heroic scale Reaper miniatures look kind of ridiculous next to to 28mm true scale historical minis.
