I have a long running topic in the Medieval section about Swiss and Burgundians.
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=42627.0
Here are some of my fantasy projects.
Here are some Hasslefree fantasy adventurer women.

Here is the GW Plastic Flying Fellbeast. I modified the flight stand so that the post can be swapped for a longer one.
The mounted Witchking is a spare rider on a Perry WOTR horse.
The Fellbeast head is a spare from the kit. Eowyn and Merry are from the metal set (which I also have).

You've got quite a variety of VERY NICELY painted & universally cool minis. The Other World Idol & the Hasslefree Babes, not necessarily in that order, are my favorites. GREAT WORK!
-
This is a lovely collection! I admire your painting quite a lot, and I like what you did with the chun-li lookin' dwarf lady. ;)
-
Ah those heroquest figures!
That's exactly how my set didn't look when I was a kid... lol
-
Thank-you for your kind comments.
This is a tiny part of the collection.
I have about 3,500 painted 28mm figures, mostly historical.
Though not everything is painted up to this standard.
There are Spartans, Romans, Celts, Vikings, Carolingians, lots of Medievals, ACW, Zulu War, lots of WW2 and some moderns.
In fantasy, I have a lot more GW LOTR and some more Hasslefree and Otherworld.
Here is my Flickr Gallery

I will add some more pictures from time to time.

You have some lovely painting miniatures, keep the image coming :)
-
I particularly like those Otherworld adventurers; that blue just shines out. But who's that on the right?
-
I had to wait a long time for the Otherworld figures.
The Female Thief came as an extra in the parcel - to say sorry for the delay - it has not been launched yet.
-
The new additions painted up WONDERFULLY.I love the Fellow in the center of the Other World Minis...a GREAT roguish expression. VERY WELL DONE!
-
Thank-you everybody
-
Very nice job on them all. I have just found the Otherworld range and they are lovely. I wish he'd get a move on and release the Lady Adventurers!
-
I have some more Otherworld figures - Djinn, Harpies, Fire Giant, Minotaur, Satyr, Lizardmen and Medusa.
The figures are very nice. I will photograph them and add them to this thread.
My next big things will be Reaper Bones - a work collegue bought into Bones 1 Kickstarter and is mainly a Sci Fi player.
I will buy a lot of the Bones 1 fantasy figures from him.
I am also backing Bones 2 with Core and extra sets. That is 186 miniatures so far but I will have to wait a year for them.

Well Well haven't we been busy! Great job on all of them. Cracking collection of figures :)
-
All the Guys, Gals, & Whatever look WONDERFUL! GREAT WORK!
With each post, I come closer to cracking & sending of an order for Other World. I think when I do give in, you should receive a commission...I'll suggest it in the order.
-
I love the way you do your blues! The contrast between the blue and the flesh of the Djinn is particularly striking. The minotaur has some great definition in his flesh too. Nice fantastical collection!

This past fortnight, I have returned to my dungeon project and started to improve some Heroquest furniture.
I also bought some resin furniture from Scotia Grendel.
Heroquest furniture rebuilt with plastic card from Renedra bases.

Some nice stuff there, Sir!
I like what you have done with the Heroquest bits.
Clever idea.

-
BEAUTIFUL STUFF! Like most all REALLY well made & painted pieces, they give moi ideas for some things of my own...thanks. Minis & accessories are all VERY WELL DONE!
-
Thank-you both :)
-
Its all fantastic. The improved heroquest furniture is fab. Great job buddy!
-
You have done a lot of great stuff since the last time I was over.
I need to wangle a work trip to Switzerland again somehow ;)
-
Nice work!
:-*
It would be nice to get a hold of some Dungeon Decor...
-
That is a great collection of minis from a variety of manufacturers that go very well together. It is always nice to see collections of disparate minis themed together by a great paint job.
-
Thank-you everybody

I have been interested in bones for a while, so I bought a few in the Bring and Buy sale at Carronade. I was quite impressed so I bought some more from Miniatures Heroes.
Here are Reaper Bones Griffon, Owlbear, Eyebeast, Worm, Oxidation Beast, Medusa and Spider with Otherworld Characters as comparison.
(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3794/14132847439_b64fb0b47f_o.jpg)
Bones is a very good material for large creatures as it is light and durable. These beasts will survive gaming better than metal equivelants.
Do not use spray primer as it can stay sticky - I undercoated with GW Black, GW Scorched Earth and Vallejo Green Grey and all worked OK.
I have had a strange problem with Vallejo Games colour on these - some of the colours came out very glossy - I don't know why.
I repainted the areas with GW or Vallejo Model Colour and that was OK.

Your new Monstrous Minis look SPLENDID...the Owl Bear is really appealing to moi. Bases & brushwork are OUTSTANDING. VERY WELL DONE!
-
Great collection, Mick, and thanks much for the inspiration concerning the Heroquest furniture. I was thinking a long time about using the parts or not, but seeing your results stimulates me to do the same.
:-*
-
What a nice collection of miniatures. I love the Heroquest furniture fix. I've been thinking about doing this as well. Seems many of us have had this idea, but you actually did the work for us and proved how good it could be. Thank you.
-
Thank-you everybody
-
Excellent looking monsters. I must try and get some bones figures especially the larger figures
-
I did these GW Hobbit Mirkwood Rangers in March but added the flower tufts recently.This is a very nice kit that I would recommend strongly.
(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3921/14570375767_fe7474732c_o.jpg)
-
VERY NICELY DONE! The minis are attractive; AND the painting & basing are BEAUTIFUL.
-
Those tufts are great!!! WHERE did you get them?
-
As far as I can remember they are Mini-nature 6mm blossom tufts from Silflor
I think that the actual part numbers are :-
726-31 Silflor 6mm Spring Blossom tufts
726-32 Silflor 6mm Summer Blossom tufts
I bought them from a trader at the Carronade Show in Falkirk in May.
You can get them by mail order from Antenocitis Workshop

These elves are sweet!

Yups, nice colouring with some gorgeous basing. Awesome job 8).

Earlier this year, I was cleaning out the cellar and I found a box of figures from Reaper Bones Kickstarter 2 which was launched in 2013.
I think I received my figures in spring 2015.
I painted a lot of them in 2015 but the rest went into a box and ended up forgotten in the cellar.
So after a pause of 10 years for painting fantasy, I have started to paint them up.
Here is Cinder - a red dragon.

Here is a dragon turtle.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54220595893_4726bdb4c6_k.jpg)
I went to see the anime film War of the Rohirrim on Wednesday and yesterday ordered the GW Battle for Edoras box set.
So more fantasy figures to come.
-
That is a splendid red dragon, Mick :-*
-
That dragon turtle has always been a favorite of mine. Very well done.
-
A fine piece of thread necromancy, keep up the good work. I'm glad I'm not the only one who occasionally stumbles over caches of long-forgotten gaming stuff.
-
Thank-you everybody.
I have a lot more painted fantasy figures than in this thread.
I will add to the pictures during the holidays.
-
Here is my latest purchase - War of the Rohirrim - Battle of Edoras.
This is the new boxed set for LOTR.
There is already a thread on this set so I will post detailed comments there.

Here are the new 2024 version of Rohan Warriors.

Here is the finished War of the Rohirrim Set

I have bought some Gondor Ruins and the Tower.
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54726532741_efab45dd8f_b.jpg)
The tower can be pristine or damaged.

Slowly getting closer to a game with the siege towers from this year's Build Something Contest

This project is coming along very nicely indeed

My entry has been sat waiting to be used since the competition.
One day.
