Oh yeah! They look great painted (I don’t know if I have ever seen them other than on Westwind’s site). Interesting about the size, it seems like a lot of orc figures went that way. I used converted GW orcs for ogres in my fantasy collection…

I really like the colour palette you used, too.

Those light cavalry are very nicely painted. I especially like the 5 o'clock shadow on the mounted archer. Great job on these.

I noticed that too. 5 o'clock shadow is very easy to overdo, and usually is, so well done on getting it just right here!


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

Lovely detail on the horses, right down to lighter hooves under the 'socks'.  Stunning work"!

Thanks for the kind words ☺️
God no little details get past you guys do they ?!🤣🤣🤣
Researched the colour of horses because they just didn’t look right
No more about it now than I ever did 😳 it’s probably my favourite part of the painting process getting the horses to look right 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Those look very sharp! I like how the sallet helmets work on the figures (Fireforge northern cavalry?)

Yup right again
With oathmark arms and weapons 👍🏼
Always think the sallet helmets have a somewhat sinister look about them
Just what I was looking for for these downtrodden abandoned knights 😊

Love those cavalry guys. I, too, like the sallet for its sinister vibe. May I ask, where did you get these particular sallets?

Thanks li-fo
Mmm
I think they are from macrocosm miniatures from their half ling city guard range? Or perhaps Bob Ollie?
Being trying to source some more for a while now but think they might be discontinued which is a shame because they are so nice 🤷‍♂️
Would  love someone on here to point me in the right direction 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
