Stunning, Richard! :-*
I just hope Mr Copplestone sees them and decides he absolutely needs to sculpt many more sets in 15mm!  :D ;)

Wonderful!

Seeing them next to that 28mm barbarian, I'm reminded of the Scottish folktales about the Picts/Pechts as a diminutive underground race (which Howard drew on, of course) and also of a kids' book - perhaps a Robin Hood novel by Rosemary Sutcliffe or Molly Hunter or Penelope Lively or someone like that - in which the hero was helped by such Picts. You could almost use the 15mm Picts as "Little People" in 28mm.
Not the Nac Mac Feegle?

Very inspirational! I'm back on my Barbarica kick right now too. I'm thinking the Wiglaf as Aquilonians? Remember when Mr C said he was doing Barbarica Romans? Well, these fit well enough, imho!

Such a great project! I always return to have a look through these pages.
Barbarica is such a fun range.

Finally finished the Northlander mounted warchiefs... The fellow on the pony was done about 4 years ago, but the others are newly painted  ::)

The foot figure is simply a standard bearer whose standard had broken - so now he carries the ceremonial stone axe of destiny...  ;)
