Title: Barbarian Army back to Glory, miniatures update (14th march)
Post by: Dr. Moebius on March 05, 2015, 01:23:14 PM: Hey folks,

I´m on sick leave for nearly 1 1/2 weeks now and had some time to put pics of my old Barbarian Grenadier army on my blog:

There is plenty of old Copplestone Barbarian stuff there:

Hi Elbows,

he is a Copplestone Barbarian conversion. The main figure is from the Grenadier/Mirliton Barbarian Command Group 2.

Horns are from my bitz box and the head is from an old GW plasic skelli with some green stuff. He was inspired by the horned god from Slaine.

I have had Adrian Smiths "Chronicles of Hate" sitting on a shelf for a couple of months now and finally read it this week.It is a great book and i am sure you would find inspiration from it for your force.

Post by: manic _miner on March 14, 2015, 07:08:49 PM: Happy birthday and i am sure you will like the book.Just going from some of the miniatures in your collection the Leviathan and Chronopia pieces i take it you like the settings.The Chronicles of Hate will give you plenty of idea's and it would be a good game setting for 15mm battles.Some of the creations would not really be possible in 28mm.Really looking forward to book two now.
