Great paintjob :), I especially like you bashi-bazouk, Strelets' sculpting style is very characterful.

The painting on these is extremely good. I have some Dark Alliance plastics that I hope to have on LE at some stage and I must say that the quality of the models far surpassed my expectations.

Thanks, all!

Here are some horrors of the underworld (all 28mm, but serving as large monsters and constructs in 1/72):

Thanks, both!

I've run a few RPG sessions now with 1/72 figures, and they're really working as I'd hoped: enough identification with the PCs but sufficient 'anonymity' for the NPCs. And more focus on roleplaying than the figures themselves.

Here are a batch of foot knights (from Caeasar). These will probably require a bit more lining and highlighting in the new year, but they're ready for action in a game of Dragon Rampant tomorrow (as two units of Elite Foot).

Happy Hogmanay to all!

Those do all look fantastic!

I’ve been using 1/72 for a little fantasy project optimized for portability.  For Dragon Rampant games, I use multiple figure bases and counters for hits for most things, although I do have some magnetized bases to group some of my individuals.

Awesome paintings!

We also play all our RPGs in 1/72 scale for a few years!  8)

Here are some pictures of our sessions:

Classic dungeon crawl in a crypt (skeletons by Caesar Miniatures; Bone Fiend by Reaper Bones)


Some crazy adventure in a dream world  o_o


Fighting wolves in the snow:


Some magic users:


A horde of barbarians:


The quality of the newer Dark Alliance 1/72 sets is just awesome (those are the Nomads):
