Great work Paul. I didn't recognise some of those Maltmen. A couple of them were from the Elric range originally did you know? They were the Beggar King's army.

I did not know. Well you live and learn.

My god - beautiful! And the basing too!

I think my favorite is the piratical looking fellow with his shirt open to the navel, long hair, and an eye patch (although they're all so marvelous it hardly seems fair to choose a favorite!).

Bit of a conversion project right now. I'm doing a McDeath batch and the official miniature for 'Spot' the Chaos Hound was … disappointing. This is how he should have looked, with big scorpion tail and everything -

… and this is the official miniature -

He has an embarrassment of tail. Not acceptable in my book, so a new tail had to be built to match the true Spot. Here it is pre-paintjob, made from wire, greenstuff, pins and a lot of patience -

Much, much better. Nice work.

That looks fantastic!

I did a double-take at the original, as I remembered a chaos hound with a much more impressive tail. But I see that was one of the single-headed ones from the same era. It's rather odd that they let Spot out into the world so under-equipped!

That hound looks like it's snapping one off!

I was originally planning to build a more realistic scorpion tail, like that one you found, but then I saw the illustration shows a distinctive shape that was much more chaos and not all that scorpiony.

I'd imagine chaos hounds to be the scourge of the Old World's pavements!

Yeah, yours is much better - fantastically menacing the way it's poised up there ready to strike.

Beautiful brushwork!!

Right, some updates now. More McDeath fun with Raybees (both of them), halfling valet to Een McWrecker, McDeath's lieutenant. Raybees on the left is the one shown in the McDeath illustrations, whereas Raybees on the right is the 'official' Citadel miniature for Raybees. Why did Citadel release a different miniature from the one shown in the illustrations? Answers on a postcard …

fantastic figures and painting.

Love the flesh tones!

Outstanding. One more reason not to bother painting my massive stash of ancient halflings...

I believe the original Raybees was also marketed under the name Benni Bottomdown - presumably cos of his fetching Benny hat.

Lovely!

Very realistic.....if one can say that about a race of fantasy halflings!
