More lovely work. Those conversions are great. Where is that huge Gnoll from? Or is it a conversion as well. It looks familiar.

Thanks! He (or she? A hyena-style alpha female, perhaps?) is from Wizkids.

One of those Deepcuts? It's huge. I never thought it would be so big. I might need to order that. She I'd imagine, aren't Hyena pack Matriarchal?

And I like how she's come out too. A beast.

Thanks, all!

Yes, I was surprised by the size of the Wizkids gnolls. I've heard people complain that the Frostgrave gnolls are too small. But they seem about right to me; they'd be about 7' tall if straightened out, which matches the original Monster Manual. But the Wizkids gnolls would be about 50mm if they straightened up even slightly - so 10' tall or so.

Here are three quick adventurers: painted start to finish yesterday and used in a game of Keep on the Borderlands.

Nice work and reminds me time to get on with my Frostgrave figures.

Thanks!

Here's a Citadel Fantasy Tribes orc with a D&D colour scheme (green-brown hide and pinkish snout and ears ... I left out the "bluish sheen"). Even poorer photos than normal - sorry!

This one's an update on similar scheme I tried out four years ago (shown for comparison). The new guy's based for MicroHotT/Book of War/D&D. We've been playing loads of D&D with friends via Zoom (about to start this evening's session) so I reckon I'll need plenty of orcs in the coming weeks.

Thanks, Ockman!

Here's a very quick bugbear - an old boardgame piece like the one on page 1 of this thread. I really like these bugbears; they feel just right for the D&D profile. And there's so little detail that they virtually paint themselves.

Nice. Very authentic rust on the mace.

Thanks! I'm planning to mildly convert a few more to have a small bugbear troop with a bit of variety.

Here's a knight (to serve as a fighter in D&D). He's got Oathmark arms on a Fireforge body. I'm not terribly good or keen at painting humans (to say the least!) so am trying to get some practice:

Looks good to me. Nice sun!
