I've a slight bias in posting these as I sculpted them but I thought some of you would enjoy them still. I've just primed and basecoated them, will update when they're painted. It's always nice to get castings of minis that you've created so you can see how they've transfered to metal. I learned a lot when I started the basing and paint jobs, there are a few things I'm not happy with on reflection but I still think that their character outshines any crudeness in them. Hope you like them.

They are very Brian Froud which is a good thing are you going to expand this range ??? I could see these being used along side the twilight range :)
I Agree that metals can look very different to greens, Its amazing how some sculpts gain and some lose something in the moulding process.

Faces and proportions are brilliant. And I do love the helmets.

For a dungeon-thing I would perhaps like a little bit more variety in poses and wepons... ;)

As a replacement for the Orcs G.W. inflicted on Goblin-kind, I've been kit-bashing UberGoblins out of Orc & Goblin parts. As such, I'm looking forward to your take on the Beasty.

Post by: Little Odo on 23 June 2011, 09:12:47 PM: Nice. With 'knights' also in the offing, a nice range will be created from these. I wonder what they will be riding if/when not done on foot, hhmmm???

Post by: Andrew May on 24 June 2011, 07:10:38 AM: No one in the UK carries TFM I'm afraid but Ed is very good with orders and a really nice guy, he's helped me out a lot as an aspiring sculptor.

@Odo, I've not thought about any mounted ones but time will tell ;)
