Great work on all of it.Must be really cool knowing that the end is near.Looking forward to the battle report too.

Yeah that is amazing stuff!

I'm still stuck in the dreaming stage for my 10mm version.... but I have a room now so things are moving, just need the figures and buildings....

The Lads in Green are OH-SO-COOL & HIGHLY INSPIRATIONAL. I love browsing through the thread & recognizing old friends in the crowd...it's like a Class Reunion of sorts.

I'm looking forward to the Continuing Sven Saga.

Cheers fellas - must admit it feels odd to be painting Wood Elves after all that green - if that makes sense?

All the best with your 10mm project Binman - I keep getting tempted with small scale fantasy gaming - I have fond memories of playing massive games of Space Marine many moons ago - not to mention a large box full of my old Space Marine stuff somewhere - be nice to do it in the Olde Worlde this time though...

Cheers Deafnala - just got my hands on a load of old citadel barbarians/norse types on ebay this afternoon to go with Amazons, Slaan and other timorous wee beasties that live in the jungle. I thinking some serious re-acquaintance of some classic Westerns and Nam films once Orc's Drift is done will recharge my creative batteries sufficiently to make Sven magnifiicent once again...

Talking of Jungle nasties - any more news on additions to the swamp goblin range Manic? I reckon the lot I've got, plus their swamp hounds might make an appearance in the jungles of Lustria as some long lost tribe...

There are three more Goblins done with some little reptiles to go with them

.More to follow shortly too.

Noticed a few Slann in a box the otherday.I used to really like them and the Amazons.

Cool? Definitely! But... it's also a little sad somehow.

I think it was Truman Capote who made this quote about writing: Finishing a book is just like you took a child out in the back yard and shot it.

Great stuff Manic - when will they be available?

I know what you mean Voodoo!

Mind you once this is done there are loads more projects I've got lined up in my head and in the lead pile - the Slann and Amazons I've mentioned, chaos and undead to finish off Baron Kraust's horde, 4a sea demons - although they might become Amazon river demons possibly..., Dave's Bederken, and a growing pack of Gobbo's...

To stretch Capote's metaphor a bit - you may have lost that child but we all know how much fun it is making more!

Not sure when the next goblins will be out.Paul Sanderson made a suggestion for them which I want to get done too.

Sounds like you have your work all planned out until retirement

Sounds intriguing!

We all know that a wargamer cannot truely die, as long as he has at least one unpainted mini left

(don't point that stake at me, you...)

lovely vintage orc army indeed!
I like the oldschool flavour of the photo set

You have me sir. I cannot argue on that point!

Finally Steve! I'm impressed with your rate and quality of output! Well done, mate!

I'm sure you told your Mrs at some point "Now I've got all the stuff I need for this big old project. No more old lead for this guy for some time. No ma'am!"

Thantsants · « **Reply #493 on:** August 29, 2011, 10:17:47 AM »

Cheers Dompimpom - that was certainly the flavour I was after!

Now Phreddh that was referring to this project - the barbarians are for a new project... I'm sure she'll understand that... right?

Wood Elves of Kachass Pass nearly done...

This is without a doubt my favorite project on the forum.
Splendid work on EVERYTHING, I've been itching to try Skulldred ever since I read the first battle report.
Very nice selection of minis!
