incredible job on the chronicle wolf and rider.

I have such 'fond' (?) memories of that range - and buying a large number of such figures from mr. Lund at a games day (was gonna do the battle of five armies iirc) - but when I see the few that are still available new these  days, can't work up much enthusiasm.

just shows what a gifted painter can bring out.

It's either Orc Carrier or Longtooth, they're very similar.

I badgered Richard Orclord Hale to let me paint some of the McDeath clansmen, since I'd done the rest of the range and all. Yeesh, be careful what you wish for! Painting tartan is a ball-ache and very time consuming, but it's really just geometric repetition - I take it slow, keep the brush and the paint thin and try to keep the lines straight!

Braw and bricht!

Amazing faces on those - the bottle-wielder in particular.

Brilliant work Paul, really good.

I think I've got the McDeath box set somewhere, no figures from it though.

Brilliantly executed Cubs  :-* :-* :-*

I have to say, I think I've met all four of those gentlemen in my time when I was living up in Edinburgh! No offence to any of mu Scottish chums- just a wee but of a lark :)

The tartan is superb! Excellent. Bless you must have been a bit boss eyed after painting these clansmen.
