Back in 2014, when I pulled out some old Bratt miniatures and painted them anew, I didn't imagine that it was the start of a Confrontation obsession that has lasted twelve years. In that time, I have reacquired some old Confrontation favourites, hunted down unreleased miniatures and build a nice little collection of original Confrontation artwork.
The scavvy king is the last of the 83 'official' miniatures products for Confrontation by Citadel or Marauder. You could argue that the correct total is 79, and exclude the unreleased John Blanche ganger and the first trio of Jes Goodwin Adeptus Arbites. But I'm happy to argue for their inclusion! Notwithstanding that, I've actually painted 194 figures for my Confrontation gangs. I plan to paint maybe a dozen or so more to fill in some gaps and bulk out some of the smaller gangs. But the scavvy king was the last of the official Confrontation miniatures I needed to paint, and here he is in all his glory!
The scavvy king is peak Confrontation. Sculpted by Jes Goodwin in his pomp, he is a riot of details - tattered clothing, exotic weaponry and festooned with baubles and tokens. He requires a lot of planning to paint, but boy is it worth it!
I will take some group shots of the full Confrontation collection in the near future - I just need to work out how to lay out a suitable table full of terrain and light it for photography! In the meantime, here are some shots of the rest of the scavvies in action at Bootleg BOYL from the other weekend:
The scavvy king wasn't present, but he's now ready to lead his subjects from the front in the next excursion!
