These are all fantastic! Silly and simple as it is, I  particularly like the sheet ghost. I have that figure somewhere, or one very close.

Mark Copplestone has one on his site (probably very slightly altered), this seems to be one of the Grenadier models he had the masters or sculpts for.

Also where did you get those wonderful round bases? Would love to stock up on them.

I buy my bases from Warbases. Sadly, they've closed their doors for the duration of the pandemic lockdown. Other vendors sell MDF bases on eBay though.
Luckily for me, my last order of bases arrived the day before they shut up shop so I can indulge in anxiety-free painting for a few more weeks.

This week's update. These Mithril miniatures that I originally painted in the early 90s were 'rescued' by stripping and repainting them

Before:



After:



Lots of individual images on the project page:

A quick group shot of the last batch from this re-basing project. I left these until last because they mostly all had huge integral metal bases and needed to go onto correspondingly large MDF ones. Better pics later next week when I do a proper update.



All that's left now are a few odds and ends lurking in out-of-the-way places which I'll update when I come across them.

As akkie said, great stuff. Inspired me to dust off the fantasy minis and have a tidy up for getting into SBH again. Nothing as drastic as rebasing, just repainting bases, touching up chips and re-varnishing.
Waiter, my soup is giggling.

 Great job on the mithril miniatures, I have some of those and haven't updated the paint jobs yet.

love the Nasty (a range I don't recall) stone golem.

and I reckon the dark lord is letting the throne do all the imposing for him ...  (and with that I think I better stop spamming the poor LAF for today!)
