Very nice conversion.  I always like to see terrestrial Wyrms.

Thanks folks. Please excuse me for not thanking you individually. I don't usually got this many replies.
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.

Re: Back to Fantasy ~ KIng of the Fire Drakes

And as soon as I made an lovely dragon for my orcish army I had and idea for a Dragon Rampant scenario which involves a dragon that makes the last one look like a puppy dog. This beast is huge and it's for a specific game that I'm getting ready for my club's open day. Some info about the scenario on my blog at the link below. I'm still developing the game so it's a bit vague on detail.

The dragon looks quite impressive! The knight looks great too, but he had better have some tricks up his sleeve.

Thank you. It is a real monster but it should be a pretty even fight. I'll be testing out my game tomorrow night.

I've written a scenario for Dragon Rampant for a participation game at my club's upcoming open day. It involves one very big dragon that makes up a 36 point warband. Against him is a adventurer party of 6 D&D type characters that also make up a 36 point warband. I d some play-testing of the game last week and it worked out well. If you're interested have a look at my blog at the link below for more details.

Re: Back to Fantasy ~ Some New Additions for May
« Reply #293 on: 31 May 2023, 05:50:03 AM »
It's the end of the month and I have a few new additions to add to my fantasy lists. I spent the majority of Medieval May playing mainly large battles at my club but, being a mind for spears, swords and shields I also got drawn back to fantasy stuff (as my most recent posts on this thread will attest). I decided to build up my elfin army as well as making a start on a Reaper Bones set that I picked up last years called Hirelings and Henchmen (or vice versa).

The elves are Oathmark but they're a mix of the light elf infantry torso and the heavly elf infantry limbs. I saw this combo on a blog and decided to copy it because I thought they looked great (apologies to whoever I copied, I can't remember who you are). The other three guys are from the afore mentioned set from Reaper. They're nicely sculpted figures and very well cast. There are another 10 figures in the set which I'll get around to painting in the near future.

Those elves look absolutely great!  8)

And the henchmen look suitable for a whole range op applications. I think I have the overburdened guy in metal and he's quite a tall miniature. He came with two guys carrying a litter with a chest on it, and they too were quite tall. Might be the integrated bases though.

How do they match up next to the Oathmark Elves?
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Thanks Daeothar. I could be the bases on the Reaper figures. They are really thick but I trimmed these ones down to about half thickness.
