Great work!  I've been curious about the technolog stuff and you've answered a lot of questions.  I especially like what you've done with the wrestler except I think you forgot to sculpt him some nipples!  lol

Cheers Dark Choda

I will need to rectify that... for some reason that would never have happened had it been a female miniature...  lol

Herewith, some Beastmen and a nasty beasty. I still need to add shields to some of these. I seem to have a lack of shields at the moment. I may well normally use my recent Minotaur additions to bolster this growing army. Together with other Demonic insundry.





The one on the left here is my favourite and he looks very dog like.



This one for some reason reminds me of the the movie Erik the Viking, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_the_Viking
Do watch this movie if you have never seen it...



I like this ones little bags. Lots of fun imagining what might be in them...



This miniature also makes for a nice female werewolf. Can't recall the manufacturer. She is tall see the comparison below.



This chap is rather brutish and Minotaur like. Old Dungeons and Dragons miniature.



This nasty beast was a toy. It was a translucent orange and only originally had 2 eyes on one side so I added another 2. I have no idea what it is, or for that matter what it was originally meant to be. I do not think I will base this one as I am unlikely to use it much, if ever, and if I do would like it to be able to also be placed in a snow or dungeon setting. Having said that I really enjoyed painting it. I gave the purple tentacle like tongue a gloss varnish as well as the eyes. I imagine it bounding around like a puppy and eating rocks which it dissolves in acid - making it a rather nasty beasty to encounter... or some such. I think I will call him Roggle. A romping rock eating Roggle.



Size comparison.

Herewith, some statues to demarcate the Elven Kingdoms.



Elven bits here taken from the Lord of the Rings Risk pieces. Risk is a terrible game and not worth playing, no matter the variant. Try Avalon Hill's Diplomacy instead. Stone carved from blue foam, with eagles mounted on what had been pen lids. The standard bearer continues the flying eagle theme of my Elven army. Miniature is old GW. Banner is foil with metal rod.



These are molded in dentist clay using old Prince August Fantasy chess set, see: https://shop.princeaugust.ie/
They look suitably ancient and broken. The bases here were from wedding cake pillars. The miniature is a Mithril miniature.

Herewith, Landsknechte Renaissance styled fantasy miniatures mostly from Games Workshop. Thinking these could also be ideal for historical and fantasy as well as for a Ghost Archipelago crew/warband. Idea being a Spanish like Empire have discovered a new world inspired by the likes of Games Workshops Lustria. Likely enemy being the Ghost Archipelago Tribal miniatures. Project was inspired by the three following command figures one has a crocodile like head and an admirals uniform. The pirate like female being a contessa sort. The manufacturer for these is unknown and I picked them up cheaply on ebay.



Decided to make some barricades for them. Wood pile made from left over barricade material thought they would also have something similar lying around.





For the movement tray I lined the bottom with paper print out of grass so even when the miniature is removed it still looks like terrain.

Wonderful models all around, but those Ents are spectacular.

 Herewith, 10mm Forest Dragon Bretonnia Miniatures - Knights.

 As a fair amount of detail will be obscured once based I wanted to take pictures of both sides of the knights. As yet bases are incomplete and I will do these once all the miniatures are painted up so as to do any final touch-ups and to make sure all the bases are consistent in appearance. These are 3D printed miniatures and can be purchased ready-made from various sources online. Certainly, a quick and cheap way to do a Bretonnia army.

 Herewith, more Bretonnia miniatures. This time the Grail Knights.

More pictures can be seen here: https://frictionbmcminiatures.blogspot.com/2022/02/golgothas-10mm-forest-dragon-bretonnia_27.html



For the two on the right here I asked my wife and son for the colour choices - hence blue and orange what my son calls the Nerf knight and of course a pink knight - no doubt he is popular with the ladies when jousting.

They all turned out rather nicely. Great Bretonnian army in the making.

Cheers Little Odo - they are super cute as an army and take up very little room. Found them much quicker and easier to paint than 28mm.

See Luke Scenics take on making Warhammer tiny:

 Herewith, 10mm Forest Dragon Bretonnia Miniatures - Mounted Yeomen. This completes the mounted-on-horse units, for now...

More pictures are available here: https://frictionbmcminiatures.blogspot.com/2022/02/golgothas-10mm-forest-dragon-bretonnia_77.html

Below are all three units of cavalry.



Here are the mounted yeomen.

Great work all round. But I’m particularly taken with the 10mm Bretonians. A mate has an original WM Bret army painted up with full heraldry - it looks splendid but must have taken so long to do all the knights.
