Cygnar, and lots of it

We now return to our irregularly scheduled posting.

My Cygnar arrived!  However, I was stuck in a 100% playthough of Borderlands 2, so that took a while.  I also did a fair amount of work on my minis but made no posts.  Lets fix that.

The first unit I worked on was my Sword Knights.  The ones I've been borrowing up until now have broken easily due to no pinning, so I pinned everything.  This was a lot of work, as almost every model had flash lumped in their shoulder joints which had to be chiseled out.  However, I finally finished them all.


The unit and UA.  One trooper is missing currently, as I got an extra officer in my unit box.  Privateer has shipped a replacement already.  A couple of the models will need some green stuff fixes, particularly shields which I drilled all the way through by mistake.


The only conversion work I did on the models was replacing the standard bearer's flagpole with a steel wire rod.  Brass would have been easier to work, but steel is what I have.
