 I realised I didn’t include pics of all the junk Little Mo was carrying, including 3 packs, a bedroll, drinking horn and gladiator helm with arrow sticking out of an eyehole!

Another trollkin adventurer, this time a follower of the troll god of fire and death. She’s another converted Star Imp from Bronze Age minis. I had fun with the undead rising up from the earth and all the little scrolls, pouches and skull. It’s back to the snakes and the earth cult for the next miniature. An axe wielding temple guard.

Some more finished, the first one is an earth cult temple guardian, a very angry woman with a liking for axes. She part of a fascinating range by Paymaster Games, they have Aztec, Mayan, pacific island nations and loads of others. I’m working out how to shove all of them into the project!

Also a guard goose, like a watchdog but like 1000% scarier. She’s a follower of a minor goddess called Goose Girl. She watches over military camps and sounds the alarm if needed. The goose is by Northumbrian Tinsoldier.

Lastly a repurposed Grey Alien from Dragon Bait miniatures. He’s a type of mushroom elf, a quiet, friendly bunch who will often help hide adventurers and other elves from their troll neighbours.

I bought some of the Paymaster Games Pacific NW and Kiribati figures on their kickstarter (only one I've ever backed). Overall, I wasn't that pleased with them. I will probably sell the Kiribati figs some day, but keep the NW ones in case I ever get around to gaming that period.

Your Maya lady looks great -- as do all of the other figs you've posted!

Thanks for the kind words Mike! I’m trying to include only Paymaster sculpts by David Soderquist, so all of them are the best in the various Paymaster ranges. I am tempted by a few of their monsters. The part orca/wolf cross is especially barmy and I’m sure I’ll pick it up at some point along with the flying heads!

Let me know if you're interested in my Kiribati and I can send you some photos. Still in the packages...  :D

One more done! A Trollkin sharpshooter. She can shave the whiskers off a gnat at 100ft which isn’t that impressive as the gnats of Shadows Dance are the size of a small car. Still, she’s ok. Mini is a Star Imp *cough Yoda* from Fenris in the UK/EU and Bronze Age/Dragon Bait in the US.

That’s 3 of the little trollkin almost enough for a gang. I’m building a bunch based on the misfits who don’t it in anywhere else. Adorable, yes. Dangerous? Ehh *wavy hand gesture* Now back to the earth cult with only 3 miniatures left I nee to plan what’s next.

I love these little guys and gals! You definitely should do a gang with them for whatever rules set you're playing.

Thanks Mike! I’d love to play these in a Mordheim type of game. A dozen or so of them, all as dangerous as the Andrex puppy! More likely, they’ll be ‘low roll on the enemy table’ opponents for 7 Leagues.

Wonderful paintjob!

Thanks I’m glad you like them. I’m having a blast painting them:)

I dunno man, hitting anything using a sling is impressive in my book, never mind dual wielding them...

I really love all the stuff in this thread.  There is not nearly enough bronze-age style fantasy around.  Excellent work, and I am really looking forward to more.

Thanks! You’re right about the Bronze Age thing. Maybe thats where we’d be now if RQ became to juggernaut rather than D&D? There certainly are more coming! I’m halfway through a trollkin drummer and priestess of earthquakes, dinosaurs and dancing! I’m hoping the first will be done in a few days.
