Hello!
Today I was looking through my figures to see what I would photograph and I chose one of my fantasy figures (Only 3, got bitten by the star wars bug again). I had been working on these guys for some time but I put them aside sometime late december to work on the wall and some other figures, this guy was my first and originally he was going to be a sort of heavy grenadier knight but I didn't like how he looked so I started to change him until I did this guy we see here, I then changed a very bad looking "Grenade launcher" I had cobbled up together for a nock gun I had bought from Cotswold YEARS ago (I don't even remember when I bought it). The nock gun is a real gun but the way it looks make it quite easy to place into a fantasy setting, of the stuff this guy is wearing I made the belt and cartridge pouch and the bag he has, the key and design on the pouch are from a small bag of 98 cent keys from Capri (local store)

Dragons of Suleria
Shortly after the end of the Human Elven war and the dissolution of the Elven command in upper Amarpa the humans found themselves at war with each other, during the 600 years of elven occupation Amarpa was dominated and influenced by the Elven empire who conquered the human continent with relative ease due to humanity's lack of technological achievement at the time, the only kingdoms not fully conquered where the Border Kingdoms, also known as the 13 Crowns. After the end of the human elven war the Nortlands started to take shape, kingdoms, principalities, and many other governments started to form often times thanks to the leadership of the one time revolutionary leaders however those Nortlanders did not forget the "treason" of the 13 Crowns, they did not forget being abandoned by these kingdoms who benefited greatly due to their more advanced societies. So on 14th of Dacambar the Nortlander King, Vrilor the Scarred launched his attack against the Province of Nortvale, the provice of the Kingdom of Suleria was formed after the end of the human elven war against the wishes of King Vrilor who had stated that the province was in his kingdom and as such the Sulerians in the area where attacking his kingdom and Sovereignty. The attack against the province was a bloody one, Sulerian officials where dragged out and executed while "supporters", half elves and even dwarves where taken to the bridge that crossed over River Vilet and executed in a most gruesome manner.
King Marendius the III would hear the news of the attack on the 20th of Dacambar at which point he rallied the Sulerian army and proceeded to move his troops to the Nortlands where they would engage in combat on the 24th. However the Sulerian troops where ill prepared for this type of warfare, the enemy had entrenched itself making most Sulerian tactics useless and forcing the troops to entrench themselves too, at this point King Merendius wrote a letter to Four of the closest Dwarven Kramluks seeking military aid, of those only Warking Gulbrag would respond, he would send both the Dwarven Siegebreakers and new weapons such as multibarreled riffles, and heavy artillery. From this the Dragons of Suleria would be born, a specialized unit of humans trained by dwarves to storm the trenches and fortresses that the enemies had built, the unit armed with Thorkalian Multi-barrelled flintlocks proved to be no match for the ill equipped enemy who relied on old firesticks and swords to fight, the battle in the trenches and fortresses was bloody and the unit earned it's nickname the Dragons of Suleria due to their rifles. In the end the Province was retaken but it did not stop the war, soon after the Nortlandian kingdoms would unite to fight against the 13 Crowns, plunging Amarpa into a 40 year long war.
Well that's all for today, I made this guy out of a mix of items including a pair of soldiers of the worlds boots from that loot I got back when I made my Troops of Spanish Colonial Puerto Rico, the rest is a mixture of dragon parts and pieces of a Marxx Knight that I had bought some time ago and was storing, overall it was a very fun figure to put together and quite challenging in terms of getting it to look a certain way, but it was fun just like the other two that I hope to post soon. As for now have fun, stay safe and enjoy the weekend.
