Fingerprints on the master add character, and it proves they weren't sculpted on a computer.  :)

Cracking! :-* Snowy is a great miniature,managed to get a spare years ago from Sally :)
I particularly like the little chap with pipe and axe,lovely figure. Whilst I understand about the sculpting issues (I have some of his PA minis),there’s something very characterful about them.
Anyway.

Sasha (her real name) was always my favourite of the charity minis. Again, 10 years old now but easily holds up. Still spin the mould occasionally when somebody wants one.

Agree 100% - in a range of really characterful minis, he stands out.

Lovely as always.

Jeff there is clearly an old-school D&D veteran who knows how to listen at doors safely.  People stop laughing at hauling an ear trumpet around the dungeon after the first unfortunate "rot grub in the woodwork" incident.

Who makes that Crofty fig?  Really a standout sculpt.

They're all (apart from Sasha, obviously) from the Ratnik/LAF line (available from Magister Militum in the UK (please don't buy the ones I haven't got as he only has limited stock  ;))

He's lovely but does have an issue in that (I think) the mould is old and grappling iron needs some serious scraping and filing -  not enough to warrant sending back but a PITA all the same

Eks Bokstu lol )

In the first game with these I was writing down the equipment and, in a moment of complete stupidity, wrote that the crossbowwoman had an X-Box instead of X Bow so that was what she was known as throughout the evening. The second one with a crossbow is obviously X-Box 2...  ;D

Not a fan of giving them names, makes it harder to accept it when they suffer the classical "axe to the head" syndrome.

Fantastic paintwork.. I’m not surprised Mutton is deaf if he’s been hitting things with that huge hammer…being around him must be like being inside Big Ben at midday…

True, although I find a nice fresh coat of paint is far more dangerous to a figure's health most of the time.  If I ever write a rule set I'm including a bonus to hit for any target whose paint job was finished that week just to make the effect explicit.

Of course, unfinished figs would suffer twice as much to start, with the bonus increasing the longer they spend in primer or (shudder) bare metal.  :)

With my usual die rolling this is a usual occurrence so the names will either be bad puns or those of people I don't like  ;)
