new stuff!

Cyclops (an old Ral Partha I think, got it on ebay) and a couple of Minotaurs.



And more skeletons, this time armed with swords.



Harpies too which I put on my Conan thread but really belong here.



As always, details of manufactures etc and more pics on my site:

Looking great!

The cyclops is an old DSA (die schwarze Auge) figure, now available from Ral Partha Europe. I ordered one for my own Myth project, after hesitating over the Ironwind Metals harryhausen one. :)

Might I trouble you for a description of the colours used on the skeletons' armour? It looks excellent. 8)

Always, if I did anything complicated I'd never get anything done :D

Your initial post prompted me to paint skeletons, then a couple of Minotaurs and finally an Amazon.

Thank you

Tony

Really, really nice work there Matakishi.

I am working on a HotT magician stand at the moment and I am looking for some skellies crawling out of the ground - anyone any ideas where I could get some from (even if I have to get some and chop them in half)?

Exellent!

And not a single piece, I wouldn't gladly use in a CROM! game either (maybe not all Howard purism, but fun!)

Yes, everything will be mixed in together eventually :)
More stuff arrived today and more has been painted but the weather is so bad I can't varnish anything today so no photos until later.

I wish I could be as productive... Gardening (and 'killer slugs' (Arion lusitanicus)) is taking up most of my spare time, only leaving me ½ hour here and there - hardly enough for painting, but enough for preparing games with existing minis (was making order counters for Brytenwalda yesterday (also useable for other games) - will do some more today, and hopefully also a few cards for CROM!), and reading rules on the train.

How do Bronze age figures compare scalewise to other ancient greeks?
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.
