They came with metal arms to use as crossbowmen or handgunners, or with just the arms on the sprues could be halberdiers or swordsmen. I drilled a small hole in the turban and glued the feathers in with the paired ones on either side and a single one in the middle. I really like the effect, unfortunately you only get 5 feathers per sprue otherwise I would do more. I have also used feathers from the horse heads on some of the heads and metal feathers I have cut from old GW Empire figures I have already converted. The ones from the sprues are definitely the best for creating that typical 'Swiss' look but I am still experimenting to try more.<br /><br /><br />Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-74454581590858195702013-05-27T08:42:12.334-07:002013-05-27T08:42:12.334-07:00Oli

Like the figure that's top right in the first pair of conversions? Are they plumes off the horse heads cut and glued in place?<br />They look really effective and I'm tempted to copy when I come to do Swiss captains.<br />Thanks<br />Simon.paintermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649916816073878873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-77295809689403348352013-05-26T11:42:53.645-07:002013-05-26T11:42:53.645-07:00Wonderful conversions that really do look the part...Wonderful conversions that really do look the part.<br />Simon.paintermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649916816073878873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-10193342516865688482013-05-25T11:54:12.001-07:002013-05-25T11:54:12.001-07:00Wonderful, colorful looking figures, very impresiv...Wonderful, colorful looking figures, very impresive!<br />Phil.<br />Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-15125208097343342642013-05-25T10:45:52.960-07:002013-05-25T10:45:52.960-07:00Wow! a very informative post that answered a quest...Wow! a very informative post that answered a question i've been pondering: how to move my Swiss army into the 16th Century!
