Lots and lots of ppl paint it. But mostly individual pieces for a shelf. Not many build armies with the old lead... which is what is was for... I have a lot more dwarves in the works... coming soon! I'll try to snag some individual pics.

Never played the game, only have a few of the miniatures (literally by accident, when shipped from a hobby shop that had their SKU's wrong), but always admired their pictures and wonderful imagination in their sculpts.

Always a pleasure to see these fabulous figures again. I am painting an Orc wizard right now, I will try to get a result as good as yours (or maybe almost as good... :D)

I will always have a soft spot for Confrontation miniatures, no matter which faction. Something about the sculpting style and studio paintjobs has elevated the entire range to a level a bit above other miniatures to me for some reason. And you've done them proper justice too :)

Always loved the Rackham range of miniatures.
Found some in a box i was looking through Yesterday.
The magazine that they did was top quality.Some great terrain in the pictures too.
