While they may not be exactly state of the art pieces, the Ghost pieces all seem to have a considerable amount of character...I'm a "character" Fan. The prices are so reasonable that getting an occasional clunker isn't all that tragic. Thanks for all the photos...you've got some OUTSTANDING paint jobs in there, BigB!
Thank you, Deafnala.  The character reminds me of the awesome sculpts of the late 70s and 80s.  Everything had it's own personal style.

I painted those figures 20 years ago.  Going through them all has inspired me to finish my big warband and to get my winter terrain ready for some good photos (instead of those camera shots done quickly last night)

Here are the pics.  I used a Games Workshop Witchhunter and Hobgoblin Wolfrider for comparison and then added a few other shots at the end:

Thank you so much for putting those up, It's much apprecaited.

I like the look of those figures.  The barbarians look especially good.  I prefer their cold-weather-clad barbarian style to the more common "Conan-the-Swimsuit-model" style.

If/when the club goes in on an Old GLory Army Membership. I may have to pick some of these up. With a membership, those Barbarians are only $1.40 per fig! On the other hand the old Glory Viking Huscarls are 30 figs for $21 with membership.

Oh the decisions....

I've got the Ice Trolls. Lovely versatile figures, giants for 15mm, trolls or ogres for 28mm, mutants for VSF or SF, savages for Wargods.

Got a chance to see the Dwarf boar riders in person yesterday at a friend's house.  The tails looked a bit thin, as though the two halves of the mold were too close. Overall however, they looked like nice figures that I would probably buy if I were a dwarf player.
