Back to Fantasy ~ Some New Orcs and Elves

[Melnibonean]

I started with painting up a few figures that had been gathering dust on my painting desk. No it seems that my love for fantasy has come flooding back in a big way. I haven't played any sort of fantasy game for almost 30 years. I did paint 3 or 4 Wahammer Fantasy armies about a dozen years ago but I had no interest in the game, so I never played it.

So now, after a long sabbatical my love for fantasy has been revived an  thinking back to my love of fantasy when I read Tolkien, Howard, & Moorcock and started playing D&D in the late 70's (I played AD&D continuously up to the mid 90's). These days I'm going to aim for Dragon Rampant and/or Frostgrave (etc.) with the ultimate goal of finding a decent big battle game and building up to it. Any advice on different games will be appreciated.

Some of my recent stuff is on this page. I don't want to re-post it so here's a link instead: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=121724.0

But's here's what I've done in the new year:
There is also a lot of other info at my blog at:

















Thanks for looking in. I'll try to remember to keep this topic updated.

That's what you have done in the new year? That's great progress in a short space of time. I like the bard/rogue character playing the flute. I don't think I've seen that one before.

Amazing work, very vibrant. Who makes the dwarf?

These are very nice and interesting figures!

A few more to add to my tally. I can paint pretty fast when I get going. My problem is that I change from genera to genera all the time. I'll paint a few battalions of Napoleonic's followed by a few dozen zombies and then 200 Romans... Right now it's fantasy figures again after a long time away.

Here's my efforts from the past few days. You can see more detail on my blog at: https://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2020/01/goblins-ghoulies-and-their-friends.html

I'm really enjoying this return to one of my first wargaming loves and still getting things painted every day.

All the figures below are Reaper Bones. I painted one Bones figure last week and held my opinion but after painting these ones I can definitely say that I do like them. Inexpensive, they hold good detail and the material is easy on my brushes.

These are terrific - your colours are very inspiring!

More from my painting desk. I'm getting plenty of figures painted and my small collection of fantasy is growing again. There was a time when I had hundreds of fantasy figures but these days my collection is about a two dozen or so.

Anyway here are the latest additions. There are more pics at my blog @: http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2020/01/barbarians-something-piggly.html
