And another new episode, this one featuring the Wight, the Wind Walker, the Will-o'-the-Wisp, and the Wolf! Here's a dire wolf from Reaper. The archer is from ... Essex, maybe?

Just a few episodes to go! This one let me blow the dust off some classic Citadel models, so that was nice.

No xorn miniature, sadly, but here's a yeti, hastily pulled out of the box of Bones and speed-painted for this episode.

A really nice collection of the grotesque and bizarre creatures of the roleplaying days of my youth! Thanks for posting.

Glad you're enjoying them! Today's episode brings us to the last creature in the Monster Manual, but Season 2 will be pushing ahead into the Fiend Folio! Honestly I'm not sure if I'll have so many figures for the weirdies in there, but we'll see how we go.

Anyway, the last monster in the Monster Manual is, fittingly enough, the Zombie. These are some of the oldest models I own -- old Citadel zombies bought when I was just a tiny and painted several times since. Technically I may have stolen them from my brother.

Good to hear as I’ve very much enjoyed this thread. Think of this as a chance to beg, borrow ,steal, buy or scratch build figures to fill any gaps.

Well, that's the plan in theory, but at two episodes a week, you never know. I do have one conversion in mind already, though ...

Loving the podcast, it's got me through many hours of boring office work :) Nice to see the physical version too.

Nice old zeds - I do not own those particular ones, but I have a handful from that generation. Truly gruesome!

The new valkyrie episode is terrific!

James, did you ever see 2000 AD's take on the Njal's Saga valkyries?

Wow, I have not seen that. I guess if I was going to draw a scene of eerie slaughter, Glenn Fabry is the first person I'd think of, though!

And we're back! It's season two of Monster Man, and we're doing the Fiend Folio! I'm having to get a little creative for the monster miniatures. For this episode I used a spare Reaper Bones mummy and an axe from the bits box to make an Adherer. We'll see how long I can get away with this!

I've enjoyed watching this project grow. Are there any creatures I could help out with? I don't mind donating a few critters.

The Fiend Folio is such a great book, I'm looking forward to seeing some minis of the weirdness found within.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Thank you! I'll spend some time trawling your catalogue with my copies of the Fiend Folio and MM2. Some great monsters in there!
