Ooooh, very very nice! I have no idea what to use these for, but I want them! I'll mail in an order as soon as I find some spare coins in the budget.

 :-*

Songs of Blades and Heroes is a good fantasy skirmish game you might like. Easy rules and lots of fun.

Regards
Za

BTW beautiful miniatures they are on my "ME WANTS THEM" list :)

Thanks guys, and yes quite a few good fantasy games (skirmish) out there where they will probably fit quite well.

I had a strange déjà-vu feeling on that "How to get some" page...  ;D

You did ...? Have absolutely no idea why you felt like that :D My get-some-page is rather innovating and unique, I'm sure - just look at the fancy blue button :P

And finally find time to paint a few Ewal Dvergar myself.

Finish the first four for BSL at chaos-dwarfs-online:

Oh my but those are four VERY GOOD LOOKING, though somewhat short, Warriors. I love your color choices & brushwork...the Face Shield is FANTASTIC. Your bases compliment the figures nicely. VERY WELL DONE...keep up the FINE WORK!

I had an urge to add "Go, Team, Go!" but thought better of it.

Thanks. Have taken me way to long to actually paint my custom made miniatures - but better late than never. Hopefully it won't be that long before next batch is done.

My interest for Mr. Pickford hasn't cooled - but my painting ratio has been below zero due to bad health/strong medication - but I have painted a few bits and pieces Id like to share.

Some might already have seen these but they deserve a place in here too - as one could hope that it might encourage others to try them out *cough* and put a few coins in WKs pockets so he can produce more *cough*

First one is a straight out of the box White Knight Zweihänder Sergeant - but what a sculpt and joy painting :-*



The next one was just made for fun - with a hope to convince WK to do "a proper one". A scratch build/kit bash piece that I call "Pickford's Cart" ;)




So much fun doing that I'm actually considering doing another one :D

Superb paintwork on that little fella with the big chopper.
 :-* :-* :-*

The cart, meanwhile, is also a fantastic touch of genius as well as nicely coloured in.
Bravo!

Great job!  The cart is very well done - hard to tell its a scratchbuild!

It's been a bit quite in here late - mainly due to all quality hobby time has been spend on getting the second set of multi parted dwarfs ready.

Have just received 7kg of white metal from the UK and am really happy with the result. Look  :o  ;D



If you want to know more - go here: http://claminiatures.blogspot.com - in here you'll also find a few pieces from Sjoerd Trouwee (Man behind Twisted Tales) - worth a watch, I'd say.


But while waiting for the sculptor and caster some Pickford's did receive paint - like these Ewal Dvergars from set #1:




Or these Musketeers - from Iron Mask Miniatures:



These Musketeers are still "to come". Gary is planning a Kickstarter for these. Can't be long, now :D


And last, I'd like to share this little special piece John did - the Mad Painter



This miniature is made as a "prize" for the painters at the Brush Slave League (@chaos-dwarfs.com), so will be a limited to participants/winners here. But still worth sharing, right?

Nice  :-* :-*   I ought to get some of these fellas to paint up, they would suit my style a lot more than all those puffs and slashes for some old school brushwork.
