Thankyou for the feedback.
Quick question - where does the female smith with the hammer over her shoulder come from?

She's an oop Guildball figure, previously produced by Steamforged games, first in metal, then in plastic.
She pops up on ebay now and again, you're looking for Guildball Masons veteran chisel.

Happy hunting.

I like your style very much. Those orcs are brilliant, but it's the animals and the rangers which really blew me away. The paint job on the female ranger especially seems to bring her to life. It's beautifully done.

Absolutely amazing paint work there. I was particularly impressed by the dogs, but all of them are works of art.

Yes, the beagle in particular struck me as an amazingly well-done paintjob, with nice feathering and overlapping coloured patches to really give that effect of a beagle's mixed coat, where others might have just painted on blocked-in spots and called it a day (and fair go to those of you who would  lol ).

All great, but I particularly like those orcs. Really well done.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Hello, thanks for all the previous comments, you guys are very generous :)

Some new bits:

A terror wing for Rangers, some kind of floppy Reaper bones Demon that needed it's legs drilling and wire inserted before it would stand up properly. The mold lines on it, especially around the wings, bug me immensely, but the early bones material is such a pain to clean up that I gave up and now I'll have to learn to live with them.





I dug out these two old Grenadier fighters and gave their old paint jobs a bit of a polish.





Three of Otherworlds most excellent mummies, and the not Mumrah from crooked dice.



An old dwarf sculpt, I love the way his hairline meets his eyebrows. I don't remember which line it was in originally, but it's available from the most excellent Ral Partha Europe store on line.



And finally, this dirty great centipede dragon type thing, also from Reaper bones.

Those all look excellent! I like what you have done with the classic Grenadier figures.

That ankheg/centipede type critter is an awesome sculpt, set off most wonderfully by your cracking paint job - great work!

This thread is a treasure trove.  I particularly like the Otherworld Miniatures mummies - need to grab some of those sometime.

I second this last comment, the mummies are great figs, and particularly well painted, a real pleasure to look at.
