thank you for taking the time to reply.

I like your painting style: your miniatures have a very old school and "comfy" look to them that really makes me want to play.

I'm also a sucker for green/white or blue/white colour schemes and you pulled hboth of them masterfully.

If we weren't half a world away, I wouldn't have minded organizing a game or two.

Thanks gibby64. I was a bit unsure about them after i constructed them but they worked out nicely in the end.

I decided to get some plastic Oathmark dwarves. I don't really like them all that much. I really like the metal "character" figures and they inspired me to get the plastics, but they just don't compare to the metal figures. I don't like my shield design either. I was feeling very very short on inspiration to do anything better. As it is, I also decided to re-base the metal figures I did last week and they look better for it. I like the king's base.

Maybe I should just stick to elves.

I think they look great mate! Surprisingly, I prefer the plastic to the metal. But I really like the personalization possible with the plastics. And I really like your shield design. Simple, yet iconic.

I think your Dwarves are awesome! Well done!

Thanks for the positive replies guys. Maybe I've been a bit harsh on myself (and the dwarves).

Nice work on the Dwarfs. The one second from the right looks like a hobbitized James Cosmo!

Those spooky things look great as well.

Before I post this I need to give credit to BZ, because I saw his post and I copied it completely and utterly.

For a while I've been wantings some elfish cavalry. I looked around and the prices were really prohibitive to get any decent figures sent to Australia. I've been looking at conversions but I was unsure what to do. Then I saw BZ's post and I thought, "Perfect!" So I stole his idea without any shame at all. I really like how these figures came out. As far as I'm concerned they make perfect heavy elf cavalry.

As usual there's more details and pics on my blog @: https://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2020/11/elfish-knights-little-conversion-project.html
