Title: An Hyborian Journey : Cimmeria [update p.4 16/01/22]
Post by: Askellad on August 02, 2020, 11:59:59 AM: Hi fellows,
I always have in mind to make my own hyborian minis from fantasy and historical plastic sets.
Here is a kitbash army from Gripping Beast, LOTR, Fireforge, Hat, Reaper, Frostgrave, DnD minis, Victrix, Wargame factory, Warlord Games, GW and some toys!

I present you the Horde Of Joldoghan, Witch-King of old times. There are the Witch-King himself, a shaman, a khan, a beastmaster, 4 guards, 4 horsearchers, 4 cavalrymen, 12 swordmen, 12 lancers, 12 archers and a warwagon. I will use this army for Dragon Rampant, Saga or maybe in skirmish events.

Title: Re: An Hyborian Journey : Cimmerian and Vendhyen
Post by: Pattus Magnus on August 03, 2020, 05:24:20 PM: The Hat figures are probably from their 28mm Medieval Spanish/Andalusian range. Those are moulded in hard plastic and could be the basis for some conversions.

Yes I used their 28mm range but I have made a headswap because they are a little too small (Some of the cavalrymen and the ballista man) The wagon is from toys.

Title: Re: An Hyborian Journey : Aquilonia and Nemedia
Post by: Askellad on August 04, 2020, 05:06:53 PM: There are my take on Aquilonia and Nemedia

For Aquilonia, a general, two captains and some legionnaries
And some Nemedians adventurers/raiders.

Essentially Warlord Games, Victrix and Wargames Factory + some GW, Frostgrave and Fireforge bits.

I, too, like the look and feel of your figures and impressed by the mixing of various makes of figures.

The nomads look like the plastic GW Lord of the Rings Haradrim

Hillmen are finished but not sure they will fit in Hyboria, I was thinking of them for Gundermen but they look not really fantasy too me. I will maybe post them when bases are over. But Beware Kothians are coming !

That's the dude and some women warriors to second (or defeat!?) him, all Reaper minis.
