Superb!  :o :-*

Those giants work really well - I had a few of these many moons back and think they were designated as cavemen?. My memory may have failed me on this though ??  :?

Stunning Michael. What a horde - bravo!  :-* :-* :-*

I love the warhammer or pick. And the axes. Those are conversions? Amazing  :o

Must resist getting cavalry as well... I will not succumb  o_o

Those Ral Partha Giants are a perfect fit. A really inspirational thread that once again makes me sorely regret selling off my Barbarica stuff!

Astonishingly good. The use of those old Ral Partha hillmen is absolutely inspired!

Indeed.
Cracking work all round but those 'giants' are top drawer.
Makes me want some even if I have no use whatsoever for them.

Thanks for your nice words, much appreciated!

Six of the seven new riders have new weapons I chose from my spares of Demonworld 15 mm weapons. Got them from Werner Klocke many years ago. They are a bit over the top scalewise, but just work with the barbarians, I think. So the conversion work was just a bit of cutting, pinning and glueing the new pieces to the minis, not really complicated.

You need the cavalry, Richard. It would be tactically unwise not to field cavalry and let the poor foot do all the work ...  :D
