Hello.
Here I am going to post my fantasy figures that does not fit any other place.
First some were jackals. I wanted them to be werewolves but after I painted them brown I decided they looked more like were jackals and took the opportunity to use the new dry earth technical paint from gw for their bases.
-
Here are some orcs in my growing non-warhammer orc army.
From the left the ones are a Ral partha chaos empire swords man. Forlorn hope half orc. Wargames factory orc and at last a Games Workshop lotr orc.
-
Poor GW lotr orc got his face coverd in the last picture so here he is again besides a conversion I made for my orc boss.
The bright light makes the shaded areas of the boss orc "gleam" much more than he looks in the real world.
-
Is the boss a gamorreon
-
Thats a really good guess but its actually an heroclix figure of the evil mutant known as The Blob.
-
Here is a clay golem. Again the shading I used on the figure gleams more in the sunlight than it does in real life. I am pretty happy with this guy Although I are not sure about the corrosion I used on his face.
-
The clay golem looks really great, as do the rest of your figures.
-
May I ask, where is that clay golem from?

Thanks!

Its an heroclix figure called the Awesome Android. Which I modded the head with some sculpty and a spare shield I had lying around.
-
I got so good response and was so happy with my Beast from the woods conversion back in the day, so I decided to make some more!
Went with just wetbrushing this time. Dont know if I maybe should use some shadeing?
-
If you ever feel tempted to buy a "Underground terror worm" creature as a miniature but can really bring yourself to do it because you dont want to spend 20 pounds + on what is essentially a tube with teeth, then I recommend you pick this guy from the bones line. Cheap easy to paint and detailed figure. I really liked it and its useful for all kind of scenarios and settings.
-
Remember these little guys? I dont really think of them as oldhammer but the models are getting up in years. The metal figures were a joy to paint and took to details really well. I dare say they are better than the plastic ones. Especially the newest plastics.
-
Love those old metal Ungors! A joy to paint, I agree. The current plastic ones have an unappealing aspect about them that I can't quite define. They don't have the charm of the old metal ones.
The dark blue skin works well. "Children of darkness", like. Good job!
-
Always liked the ungor models of that era...now that you mention it, while I just acquired ratmen, I have no beastmen with which to occupy my dungeon! Disaster!
-
I think the metal figures just are a better material when which used correctly can have a deeper level and more intricate details.
The new plastic ungors are a bit to big, have to much crap all over them taking away from their "genericness". And the result is that the whole surface of the figure is flatter. Just my opinion. The plastic ungors are still good figures. Infact I am converting two of them right now into generic devils.
But the first little ungors are still the best sculpts.
-
I hear you on the "too much stuff". GW have some nice sculpts and some good sculptors but (likely intentionally) many of their fantasy figures are way too GW'ed to be useful anywhere else. I'm going to spend some time de-GW'ing my Skaven before converting them into normal ratmen for my dungeon crawl.
The Age of Sigmar stuff is a good example...some people post reports here and I can't even tell what the miniatures are or where on begins and one ends. They're a flurry of banners, wings, medallions, spikes, skulls and scrolls. In a world of 1-10 where people like to go to 11, GW seems to have gone to 43 on a lot of their figures. A shame since it keeps me from perusing their catalogue for figures/bits.
-
Yes that is true especally with the scrolls. Most fun part of painting is to wetbrush/drybrush some flesh, wood, fur or other texture and see the details and shadows appear.
-
Ogres are always fun and these Ral Partha sculpts are really awesome . I really like the barouque details on the shield bearer ogres armour.
I painted the guys green to make them fit with my evergrowing orc army. I put in a wargames factory orc on the side for size comparison.
-
Skeleton from wargames Atlantic. Very fun to paint! Fun as hell!
-
Just one skeleton is not enough.
-
Here are some Orcs from Oathmarks and Wargames factory models with some light converting as well here and there. Not the best paint jobs but when you put them all togheer it looks alright to my eye.
-
And the Orc leader. A converted reaper bones orc.
-
Very smart ;D
-
These vampires are really cool sculpts! And very easy to paint.
My favorite is the second from the right. "Hey man.. Got any blood.. Come on man.. Just a pint.."
-
Here are the new fireforge northen warriors. Very cool sculpts. There are some head swaps and two other figures in the group as well.
-
They got red eyes I swear. I dont know why it dont show up on the pictures.
Contrast painted but since they are metal they needed a lot of touch ups.

Fantastic job all around, but these are especially exquisite!
What line are these vampires from?
-

Been a while. I asked in general forum maybe I get some info there.
