Great project :), I'm doing something similar with 1/72 minis in my mordheimesque project with 10mm scale Frog/Toadmen :).

I've to say that I'm enjoying your blog. Your 1/72 scale cossacks might have convinced me to try the scale  :D

Seconded! I'd missed the link to M.P.'s blog - those cossacks and boyars are amazing!

Really nice minis ! I didn't know that 1/72 fantasy became so nice.

Excellent! If I didn’t know it could pass as 25/28mm

These are hands down the best painted version I’ve seen. I’m eager to see what will you do next.

Hey Hobgoblin, really liking the Goblins. Really nice paintjob you  have executed to the models.
Looking at them, they have use not just in fantasy but in th PA type of worlds as well I think.

Anychane you could throw a more common futuristic soldier type mini in armor to get a better scale? If you have any that is.

Thanks, all!

Grimnar, do you mean with 28mm? If so, see below (obviously, the basing makes a difference too). I'd say they're about the same size as most 28mm kobolds.

Dark Alliance does some 1/72 post-apocalyptic stuff too: stalkers, rednecks and zombies, I think.

Thanks!

Aha - I'd admired that second thread (great sculpting!) but hadn't made the link with the blog. Superb stuff. Beastmen constitute perhaps the biggest gap in 1/72 fantasy; I don't think there are any commercially produced ones at the moment.

Yes - manic_miner drew my attention to them. Worth posting here, I think:







Of those, I find the centaurs and Nomads 1 most interesting. I generally like the Dark Alliance stuff more when it moves away from the LotR films (of which I'm not a fan, I confess!). But that first set of nomads will be great for RPG bandits, assassins and adventurers. And the centaurs fill some of that beastman gap.

I as well prefer DA's other set than those based on LotR, except the nomads and pirates, which are spot on for my conanesque project.
