Re: Fantasy in all scales - 18mm Eureka Uruks (vampire army)

Great stuff on this thread! Are those Eureka guys with the wolf/dog helmets a few posts back 28mm or smaller?
Thanks!

These are 18mm. From Eureka, designed by Maceface Miniatures. Eureka had 28mm Moorcock, but it seems they don't list them any more. I'm concerned enough I'll email them, I had a few over the years.

These 18mm are on 15mm square bases if that helps.

Thanks! Too bad for me- I can't open the floodgates to another scale, but great work on those small minis!

Eureka snakeman cavalry. I tried earth tones instead of bright colours to make them different to my lizardmen.

That is one crazy sculpt! A snake with a lance on a platypus...

I added some colour to snake boy, I'm happy with this scheme now. The same goes for the lizardmen.

Lots of fun! I have just the one, I'll need to buy more.

That extra bit of colour on the stripes works

Here's some recently finished 10mm models. I'm really loving the scale, hopefully I don't regret individually basing!

Great work!

I wouldn't worry about individually basing models- you can always create a temporary multi-base for any particular ruleset with thin card and some sticky stuff (hot glue, blu-tack, etc.).

I echo Frugalmax - first of all really great work. I’d definitely keep individually basing them as you can always get some movement trays (I have some and they work just like 28mm would) or tack them to something.

Thanks guys!

Oh yeah, of course I'll use trays or temp bases if needed. I'm more referring to the fact I always regret how I base models! Half of these were on 20 x 20 x3mm originally, now 10 x 10 x 1.6mm!

Every time I base something I have that worry  lol  They’re the same bases I use  (Warbases minihammer range) as they’re half size and we use them in WHFB 3rd Ed at 1/2 scale. For some big units I have some multi based fillers (often when I couldn’t cut the warmaster strip down to individuals) much like people used to in 25mm Fantasy when I played (my reference point is stuck around the late 80’s to early 90’s :D ). The good thing about the individual bases is that I can use them in a travel skirmish set for Thud & Blunder and they take up less room than the rule book.

I play 15mm WW2 individually based and have never had a problem with troops being slow to move or particularly fiddly - unless it’s for a specific game (that I know I’ll never use the minis for anything else) I’d generally choose individual basing.

Great to see another 10mm fantasy collection (especially as yours is being painted unlike mine).

Thanks by the way, Andrew!

Some more 10mm today. I bought a ton from Eureka at a recent show, lots to get through.
