Who makes that miniature?

(My son has been hard at work making his own Old Ones.)

Who makes that miniature?

Rafm, I believe. I've had it forever -- must have painted it in 2002 or 2003 while doing my MA.

Amazing! I love the flying/swimming pose. Really dynamic look to a design that can sometimes look ungainly.

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks! I showed your comments to my son, who is delighted! (He's working on a mi-go at the moment.)

I'd forgotten about Rafm's Cthulhu range; it's rather good. I still have quite a few of the Rafm reptiliads kicking about.

Today's episode features the Aurumvorax and the Azer! This model is just a Reaper Bones dwarf, but I thought he had a sufficiently cranky expression.

Blimey! That giant is awesome!

Here are some Essex miniatures Chaos Knights (I think!) that I painted up: you can learn more about that paladin, Sir Gilbert de Jurasse, in today's episode.

I've not seen those, I really like the way they look.

Yeah, the Essex fantasy range is a bit hit or miss, but some of the hits are very nice; real old-school charm.

I misremembered: these are Knights of Evil, not Knights of Chaos. But in my game Sir Gilbert will be a pure-hearted paladin.

This little guy isn't technically a Monster Manual monster, but I didn't know where else to put him. He's a Heartbreaker goblin, but Kev Adams sculpted a Where the Wild Things are face on him for me. Paintjob looks a little raggedy up close, so I might touch it up a bit, but it'll do.
