Title: Red Book of the Elf King trolls
Post by: James Morris on 28 December 2018, 04:25:44 PM: I’ve hardly posted in the last year due to moving over to Facebook groups - which is poor form as this is such an excellent forum - so my apologies. Also I’ve found that Flickr has become increasingly hard to use with my iPhone. However, thanks to Westphalia Chris’s useful guide, I’ve been able to work out how to post pics straight from my iPhone; so hopefully this will work.

Here’s some of the Lucid Eye trolls intended for Red Book of the Elf King, though I think they may also be useful for Nordic mythology games. I very much enjoyed painting these.

I've heard that all the Red Book of the Elf King miniatures are pretty large, but a picture is worth a thousand words, and I haven't been able to find any scale photos.

Thanks - I don’t have my other miniatures with me at the moment, but here’s a size shot with a ruler - they’re a tad over 35mm tall.

That looks like one of the trolls though... Perhaps the Elves are smaller?

No, they are huge. I have a few and they are lovely, but they are way taller than anything else in my collection.

Post by: sir_shvantselot on 01 January 2019, 02:13:31 PM: I think they’re a good size. Could be used I’m sure in OGAM. Vaguely interested in this but don’t want to jump into into a broadly similarish game to Vanguard/burrows and badgers. But the Steve saleh miniatures are to do die for and the rules come with a great pedigree. And I’ve heard Steve’s son on podcasts like paint all the minis and there’s a lot of passion behind this.

Post by: James Morris on 01 January 2019, 10:16:21 PM: It was the rules that sold me on it. Really quick to learn and superficially simple, but plenty of tactics to learn, especially involving the magic system. I play OGAM as well and the elves and troll minis will certainly get used for that too.
