Malto Cortese – Tally Ho!

Malto Cortese is a really nice sculptured model and quite different to the other miniatures in the A League of Exceptional Gentleman – DA012 range.

I think this will be a really useful model for Victorian Science Fiction scenarios, he looks like a Steam Tank or Ether Flyer Captain rather than a Darkest Africa explorer. His expression of determination really comes out in the model and he looks like an individual who you wouldn’t want to cross.
Simon has this model and here is his painted version.

After basing the model on a two pence piece, I gave the model a white undercoat.

I don’t know if I will give him a blue uniform, I might go for more of a desert khaki look instead.

This is another of my Darkest Africa miniatures from the A League of Exceptional Gentleman – DA012 range.


He is certainly an elegant chap, holding his pistol as though wary of what might happen just around the corner.

I am intending to use these models in Old West scenarios as well as Tally Ho! adventures set in Africa and Asia. I also think they are ideal Victorian Science Fiction miniatures.

In the first instance I based the model on a two pence piece. I then gave the model a white undercoat.

This is a nice model, not sure if I will follow the paint scheme from the Foundry website.

I also, as I said with Teddy Roosevelt, intend to use the model for VSF and Old West scenarios too.

I already have quite a few miniatures suitable for the Old West style game. At GamesDay 2008 I did purchase the Warhammer Historical Old West rules, I also found some other Foundry Old West models to complement the blisters I already had.

Wild Bill Hickok is part of the OW9/1 Shootists pack.
