The Magnificent Sven

[LeadAsbestos]

The Juggo I know is here:

They were packed together if I recall correctly.

Regardless, a sweet mini!

Fair dos!

Can see what Red Orc's getting at - both are Norse Dwarf Berserker types -

The McDeath one looks pretty cool too.

Great pictures fella. 

[Thantsants]

Haha - cheers Rob - the background was actually one used in Jungle Book!

Much appreciated Svennn! 

Sorry to be a pain but any chance you could make the top image of the actual minis any larger?

Stuff of Legends might like to hear from you too as they only have the second image of the cutout characters...

Apologies for the threadomancy but I figured I may as well carry this thread on as start a new one.

Got a few updates on this little side project to my current wrestling with Orc's Drift... 

Thanks to the LPL I found myself irresistibly drawn to the Magnificent Sven minis I have slowly been amassing in between buying up Orcs on ebay. As I figured these chaps would do better than hordes of painted rank and file troops from Orc's Drift they got bumped up to the top of the paint queue! 

Anyways - here's the pics (including Juggo who I started this thread off with, and Aygar Mistletaine who is moonlighting as the Mad Hermit in the Linden Way scenario from Orc's Drift!)


















Sorry to add the - visit my blog bit - but its getting late and I can't face copying and pasting all the character info I posted there - linky if you're interested!

Those Slaan-

Nice work!

[Bloodysword]

Buying minis with a purpose! I love it.  They look great.  can't wait for the battle report.

Great stuff...the slann look toppa

Odd.... I thought I posted here earlier. Hm?! Oh well... great additions to the ever growing collection of Svenn stuff! =)

Funny factoid... I've painted my Aygal just like yours, except the blue and purple are switched around. Odd, it wasn't a conscious decision to copy you. Sublime manipulation of my psyche, Steve... I'd better put on my tinfoil hat, lest my orcs will be painted green! 

[oxiana]

Completely loving those Slann. 

Nice photographic set-up too. 

[Red Orc]

Fair dos!

The McDeath one looks pretty cool too.  

So, am I wrong about your Dwarf being Juggo Joriksson?  I'm certain the Dwarf you have is Juggo, and I'm sure I have one. I could be wrong, it has been known. I'm going up to my loft to have a look now.

The whole Svenn set is looking very very lovely!

EDIT: right, I've gone and checked and the mini I have, the same as that Dwarf with the axe and the bushy beard, is labelled 'Juggo' on his tab. Glad I'm not losing it...

  Phreedh - paint your Orcs lime green like an 80's Ford Capri, oh and send me all your Orc's Drift scenario characters - especially the ones I don't have...   

Damn your tinfoil hat - foiled again...   

Thanks all - really chuffed with how they turned out, although Riolta and one or two others look a bit pasty in the flesh - might remedy that if I ever have time. Just need to find a Karl Ustracutter for completeness sake... 

Can't wait to get stuck into the rest of my Slann  but I am going to have to be a bit more disciplined and stick to Orc's Drift if I'm ever to finish it!

That and I will need large numbers of villagers, about 30 more Slann warriors and a scratch-built alcohol powered paddleboat, not to mention a load of jungle scenery to do the scenario justice on the table-top! 

May scale this down to skirmish size when I get round to it...

Red Orc - always nice to reaffirm your sanity!

Thanks for the recommendation on Amera - They may just be able to help dig me out of the "No scenery available for LPL pictures" hole that I find myself in...
