And here's some more Lund stuff. I'm painting up my 12 remaining original Chronicle orcs to match the later Chronicle and Grenadier stuff, as they'll still mix in well enough with the ones I painted up as 15mm ogres (those were done more laboriously from a white undercoat). The 12 of them will give me a unit of Saga levies. As you can see, the variety in scale across the Lund ranges is just perfect for Saga, as you can distinguish the different grades of troop at a glance. We're just about to embark on a pre-prandial game now; I was going to use these orcs as Jomsvikings, but my son's beastmen are going to use our Norse dice, so I'll test out the Scots or Irish with these chaps ...

The kids and I have been looking over some of their old toys to see what can be repurposed for gaming. This ceratosaur is the first of the batch. This isn't a fancy Schleich or Papo thing, but some dirt-cheap toy that had a flat orange and white factory paintjob. I've based it up with Hordes of the Things, where it will form part of a Slann army I have underway.

I really like when people find new life for old toys: it's not only about recycling stuff, but also about creativity and an holistic approach to the hobby. And about having big dinosaurs on your games

Very good job!

That dino is in the grand tradition of the old school!

Spot on!

The dino looks great.

Makes me want to do some Exodite Dragon Knights even more now......

Thanks, all!

Here are some very quickly painted EM4 orcs - part of a batch of miniatures that I've been meaning to friends' kids for aeons. I put a little tutorial on this speed-painting method on my blog, in case it's of any use to anyone looking to rush through something similar.

I really love this thread

Very interesting painting scheme for these orcs, I'll take note forma my own Miniatures!

Nice work.

Your 'speed painting' tutorial sounds very much like my approach to painting everything these days....

Lovely job, those have come out spot on.

Very nice. I must try that tutorial.

love the chronicle orcs higher up. When you see them as well-painted as that ... well, wish the range was still available, and much more extensive.

nice work on the em4 figs.

Love seeing the old Grenadier orcs. Particularly love your shields... Good to see an original take on colouring.
