Overlord's Fantasy Figures: Barbarians *25/7/22*

[Overlord]

Ah-ah, ah!
Ah-ah, ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

The Copplestone/Grenadier fantasy barbarians have always been some of my favourite miniatures. Around 20 years ago I painted enough for several Hordes of the Things (Hott) armies.  Sadly, they have sat unused in my display case for at least the past 10 years.

Hott Army:


A friend and I recently decided to give Oathmark a go, so it was time to rebase the barbarians to suit.  Oathmark nominally uses individual miniatures based on 25mm squares. To enable use with other rule systems, 7TV Fantasy, Dragon Rampant, Saga:AoM, etc.  I elected to use 2p (UK) coins and movement trays where required.

7TV Fantasy Cast:


I have also painted around 30 additional miniatures to expand the force, giving me enough to field an Oathmark army of 2500-3000 points.

All miniatures are the old Grenadier range, except where noted.

What a post!

So good to see so many glorious barbarians and so many Grenadier Fantasy Miniatures - Great army and very well done.

[Citizen Sade]

Great stuff. Got to love Copplestone wilder fringes sculpts. Considered his Foundry ancient Germans for use as allied tribes?

[gamer Mac]

Nice too see the dust taken off some old figures

Lovely work, mate!
Gotta love those classic figures too.
 

Clever basing with that Giant.

Very nice, you can't beat a good old barbarian horde (not with the dice I normally roll )

[Blackwolf]

Fantastic
