Alright, first thread here - this will be the fantasy thread, where I will post a myriad of different projects - mostly classic Middlehammer, converted Perry stuff - as well as some other stuff related to the Fantasy genre, LOTR included.
Anyway, I'll kickstart this thread with some pics of my Bretonnian grave robber/brigands warband for Mordheim, classic Perry sculpts with some subtle conversions here and there!
Thanks for looking, stay tuned for more!
-
Those sculpts still hold their own against modern medieval miniatures. Lovely paintwork, look forward to seeing more.
-
Those are indeed lovely sculpts. I especially like the subdued, yet contrast rich paint job. What strikes me, is that the mail is much better than modern sets, say the Victrix Normans.
-
Thanks guys! Indeed, they still have a lot of character and the attention to detail by the sculptors are amazing.
Here's another figure for Mordheim, an Ostland champion converted from a myriad of different Middle- and Latehammer kits:
-
He is great. The iconic fish is a neat touch.
-
Great work! I particularly like your Bretonnians.
-
Thanks guys! Here's a Warrior of the Dead from the LOTR range which I recently finished - the first test mini for an upcoming Draugr-themed Undead warband for SAGA, using the plastic Lord of the Rings Warriors of the Dead from GW with a shield from Oathmark. A quick paintjob I have to admit - but super fun nonetheless!
-
Very nice. That shield is better than the GW originals.
-
That's a really interesting idea, been thinking about draugr for a while and that might work for me as well
-
Brilliant. I think you might have inspired me to strip my bright blue GW Army of the Dead and redo them in a more muted scheme.
-
"Rise from your grave! Go forth - and kill!"
Latest addition to my SAGA Undead project - a "good" old Necromancer (based on GW's Saruman) with a bunch of minions - skellies from Oathmark with GW heads and LOTR Army of the Dead spear tips:
-
They work for me :)
-
Those look great! Very nice choice of a figure for the necromancer.
-
Really brilliant stuff here. I also did the GW Skulls + Oathmark bodies trick, I think it's a winning combination.
Also, outstanding work transforming Saruman!
-
Thanks a lot guys!
@Pattus Magnus Indeed! As soon as I saw it I thought it would make a great Necromancer!
@Knight-Captain Tyr A winning combo, right? Great minds think alike!
-
Holy crap, that's brilliant - the composition, the intricate trim to the robes, the painting - just fantastic.
-
@Cubs Thanks! I really like the mini and I mean it seems the right hand was almost made to bring that Warhammer Underworld skellie back from his grave, right!?
-
Stunningly brilliant work! As Cubs says, such intricate details on the robes! Outstanding repurposing of the sculpt.
-
Thanks a lot! Here's a recent commission I did for a client here in Sweden, A golden-clad Averland general in Lustria - like they need more gold? 😉
WHFB Empire general conversion using a myriad of WHFB Empire bits(mainly Knights and 2008/2009 general kit).
-
Superb 8)
-
That captain looks fantastic!!
Great job :)
-
I like that. Great work!
-
Absolutely stunning work on that necromancer and skeletons - you have the makings of a fine army there.
-
Beautiful work work! :-* Well done! :D
-
Thanks!! I found an old Empire "drummer bear" in the depths of my bitz box, the handlers head and arm was missing so I converted this characterful miniature to represent a travelling musician, hunter AND ale/wine merchant from Stirland (a very poor Empire province so his tattered clothing is perfect). I give you Johann Lovitzross and his Bierträger Bär - both drunkards!
I'm pretty pleased with the result and this one was an absolute joy to convert and paint! Thanks for looking!
-
Awesome miniature with lots of character (both the bear and his handler)!
You can be really proud of this covnersion!
-
Quite brilliant. :)
-
Is that a hurdy gurdy he's carrying (the man, not the bear)? Excellent!
-
Looks like a little Hurdygurdy. Or maybe it's just his clockwork viagra. That is a great miniature, and paint work.
-
Brilliant!
-
Excellent work.
-
Thanks a lot - really appreciate it! Here's a couple of classic GW orcs, all plastic parts from around 1999-2000 with some 'new' axes from the mid 00's range - all painted up as a pair of dirty, rusty and all around nasty pair of gitz.
-
Some great figures here. I like your take on draugr and your necromancer too. Great stuff.
