Gillikin Cavalry for Wars of OZZZ

Whilst there is an excellent Wars of Ozz metal figure range I have my own Wars of Ozzz in 1/32 with my own adaptation of various rules sets. This is one 'period' where I can say there is even more latitude than in my Beerstein versus Bogavania and Fezia fantasy campaign. (Actually, I now have provision for chance spill over from Ozzz into my other fantasy world). One of the eccentricities (more than usual) is there is a rationale for including smaller scale figures; they are simply either Munchkins or Gillikins. The Gillikins are little green skinned folks, somewhat analogous to goblins and Gretchin in the Warhammer universe, due to small stature and a certain meanness. I have also aimed for long pointy noses but sometimes get lazy and don't do the rhinoplasty.

BELOW:

An aluminium 1/32 cavalryman I painted as my idea of a Ruritanian is shown to contrast with the size of the Gillikins. The figure with the impossibly long chin is also used as a general and is made from a converted cereal pirate placed on a goat. Most of the others are converted from a bunch of beaten-up old hollow-cast lead figures. I aimed for larger heads than would normally go with figures this size. I started with an idea of uniformity through wearing of shakoes but extended the range of uniform. The figure with red cloak has a Warhammer goblin head.

  I am looking for a rider for my new horse so here I am experimenting with an 'undersized' GI grenade thrower. I cut the base off and will have to reattach or bend a leg, so he sits comfortably. I'll either replace the head or mold a shako to it. Hand-grenade throwers are handy as the grenade hand can be given a sword. I might also give him a shield. After all this is Ozzz, not Waterloo.

  The figure at right did not undergo rhinoplasty. The others had putty or matchstick noses added.

     Anything goes - a camel mounted metal figure.  The flag bearer is a semi round figure in tricorn hat.

                                        I need to make two more figures to complete the unit.

 These figures are bigger than Warhammer 28/30mm figures and smaller than 54mm.
