Also a small landmark. I started this Bronze Age fantasy project last March, so a year gone and more minis painted than the previous 10 years! I’m still enthusiastic and planning some more hoplite types and some chaos beasties. This is all of them, from March to March.

That’s an impressive body of work! I’m not really familiar with the Runequest setting but you have a very cool selection of figures and your painting and conversions are excellent. I always enjoy seeing new additions to this thread.

Thanks, I’m glad you like it  :)
Runequest is a mishmash of Bronze Age arms and armour styles from around the Mediterranean and the Near East, with a sprinkle of fantasy and non human peoples. They work great with any mythic Greece game, the centaur would fit right in. It’s a very versatile setting! Next up is something that I don’t think any myths have been told, an anthropomorphic duck. They’re basically Donald Duck with all the attitude. Some people love them, some hate them. I’m in the love club :D

Been busy with some stuff but always time for some fantasy! A cow headed beast-man or Minotaur, a duck archer with floppy hat and pipe, and a snake tailed temple guardian pointing at some poor trespasser. Also some harpies! I’m in a very Greek mythic mood.

I have enough now for a beastman skirmish gang, and I’m hoping to paint some more centaurs and duck, and some more Fenris broo. I definitely have enough painted stuff to now start gaming so I’m getting all my scenery sorted and hope to fill a whole tabletop worth of terrain. Here are all my beasties together. I’m really pleased with them.

These are amazing!

Quite apart from the stunning painting, there's a real Gringle's Pawnshop vibe about that gang!

That's a great collection of miniatures, beautifully painted. I am really looking forward to seeing you gaming with them. I think we are in for a treat.

Where did you get the harpies and gorgon from?

Some nice models here, I really like the scales on the snake girl, and those harpies are pretty creepy :)

I completely agree with the previous posts, those figures are spectacular! Excellent painting and presentation.

The dirty dozen (or so..) of the Hero Wars!

The harpies are by Bronze Age miniatures, as is the top half of the gorgon, a Bronze Age barbarian (bottom bit is from a Reaper snake demon)  also available from Fenris Games in the UK/EU.

It’s surprisingly hard to find truly monstrous female monsters and these fit the bill nicely, rather than being pin ups!

Finished another retiarius, or river guide/bandit in Runequest. Do I really need 3 net and trident gladiators? Yes. Yes I do. Also some more choppy types, a Storm Bull and Babeester Gor axe maniac.

Yes, in most cases you can choose between properly sculpted and badly sculpted pinups, ocasionally some clearly fetish stuff :)

 Those Harpies are extremely disturbing!
