(Commercial) Re-releasing the old Fantasy Forge Celts.

[The Dozing Dragon]

If anyone is feeling like they want to get into a Slaine vibe, I've made the Celtic Hero from our Gods and Mortals range available on it's own here:

Damn. Ordered the Celts but didn't order this.

[Lost Egg]

Just ask if you can add it to the order, Northstar are very good.

[nicknorthstar]

The super deal I've put out on these Celts ends tomorrow.

They will be at a new price till Easter, then they will only be available singularly.

Cheers

If I could log in I would have bought the damed things but I keep getting locked out at the checkout.

[Lost Egg]

I ummed and arred...then ordered the set But now my Fomorians are outnumbered...

[tin shed gamer]

I did finally manage to get an order in so , High speed hack and paint has begun.

[Lost Egg]

I particularly like the first conversion but they all look good.

Cheers I'm not a fan of the busty chainmail bikini barbarian.But these have a little context(for me) As the theme is a nod to the old fire and ice animation. I've just got to find the time to build an axe wielding barbarian with a wolfs head mask and. Cowel. Then it'll be a speed game of Heroquest (for my son and his friends.)

[Westfalia Chris]

Painted mine as well (sans conversions, but also the first batch I got last summer).

Very happy to have them again. Kicking myself a bit for letting go of my originals (I would have had most of a warband for Dragon Rampant or Saga AoM then), but they went to a fellow LAF'er, so it's not a great loss.

[Lost Egg]

Some work sir!

Chris, did you cut off the tabs or build up the bases?

[Orctrader]

Conversions and both painted examples very inspiring.   

Mine are still in the bag.   

That said, I've put them with my few remaining Celtos and a lot of Renegade Miniatures Celts I have recently acquired with a view to have dense crowds of multi-based figures.  Still debating which base sizes to go for.

I glued them directly to slotta-style round bases. Most are on 25mm, the chieftain and war dog handler on 30mm, and the war dogs on 40mm, although I considered the small oval bases by GW for the latter (they looked a bit off, in the end).

The rest is PVA and a sand-grit mix. No putty or something, except for some larger stones placed to slightly conceal very obvious steps (some of the integral bases seem to be a bit thicker than others).

It's tricky. Most of the figures should fit on 25mm washers (i.e. lacking the bevel of the slottas), but some have a rather wide stance with quite some overlap. I must admit I'd be unconvinced about using multibases for these since it would probably reinforce the similarity of the figures' poses.

Cheers, I might have to try this...I was thinking of cutting off all the tabs...

You did well to squeeze them onto 25mm rounds .I was going to quietly content myself with picking up some 30mm bases  at Partizan.
I do like the hounds now I've seen them coloured in.So I'll probably end up getting them as well.

I'm glad you post yours gives me some ideas for colour combinations, although its sickening that you've finished the lot . Still stops me bring smug with myself because I've started a project within a month of buying them.(no easy task for me as there's never enough hours in the day. Plus I've a back log of pulp stuff to get through.)
Mark.

These all look great. Been painting some of mine this evening. Need to get the first bargain bag finished before the next lot arrives!
I managed to fit all the humans on 2p pieces apart from the leader who went on a 30mm washer (he probably would fit on a 2p but I wanted to mark him out as a hero for OGAM games).
