Nice work on the Fireforge figures.

The skeletons look good as well.

Astor - looking great, and really coming together well.

I might have just been persuaded to indulge in getting the TT combat terrain!

Life really does seem to have a habit of getting in the way, doesn’t it?

I still haven’t actually gotten around to playing FG yet, but have at least managed to paint some things over the last few months now I have a proper space in which to do it -

My warband, minus Wizard and Apprentice (more on them another time)



Some Dogs to join them. They're Midlam Miniatures Dwarf Mountain dogs. I had a lot of fun painting these, although I did spend an inordinate amount of time researching dog coat patterns.


And some Infantrymen, though they might need some warmer shoes!


Here's hoping my seasonal enthusiasm doesn't wane quite so easily this time. I've put all my unpainted miniatures in a display cabinet next to my desk in the hopes that they'll judge me until they're painted!

Absolutely stunning work! The kit bashing and converting are top notch.

Great looking warband, dogs and skellies. Looking forward to your wizards now, and then seeing them all in action.

Lots of great stuff! I'm a big fan of having hounds in a warband!

Thanks all!  :D

I don't know how much that inordinate time was, but the dogs turn out awesome!

Thanks - I really struggled with picking a colour scheme - I wanted to avoid just painting them one colour, but also wanted something that wasn't too difficult to replicate - though I want a Bernese Mountain Dog now...

I promised to share my Wizards - I haven’t really found a Wizard/Apprentice miniature that ‘fit’ with the idea I’ve had in my head, so decided that it'd be easier to make one. As much as I love the versatility of the Wizards boxes, I didn't like the robes, and felt they'd look out of place with the rest of the band, so I thought I'd have a go at making a wizard with a bit of protection (I took inspiration from the Mages in the Witcher games - lots of them seem to have armour of some sort on them):



Bits are from a range of places - a Fireforge body, some old Empire bits, and the staff head and accessories are from the Wizard sprue. He still needed an apprentice, however:



I'm hoping I'll be able to paint these up at the weekend, and then I can move onto the next Warband!

They’re really nice!  Looks like they’ll fit in perfectly.

Really nice. Just a little bit of putty really gives some of your figures a whole lot of character.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
