A great start. Pervos steals the show obviously.

Thats serious wardrobe coordination for a beastlike denizen of the deepest forests. I can just imagine Pervos dropping his costume designs into the local tannery, "Pervos want to feel special. Just gloves, thong and strap".

That dragon ogre is a classic. Was it Marauder rather than Citadel? I cant remember for sure but I think that I remember the White Dwarf ad.

Cool stuff, keep it up!

Cheers man.

DO was definitely Citadel, in that incarnation anyway. Marauder did some later on, but much smaller and frankly not as nice (although I think they were direct copies of some artwork in one of the RoC books).

Right, it's been almost a month since you last (photographic) update so I thought I'd better get on your case viz. this glaring deficiency.

You did request cajoling re. this undertaking so cajole I shall.

Good god, sir, you are right!

Most remiss of me.

I have been unfortunately waylaid by real life concerns (the impending arrival of JollyBob Junior being the foremost) but the Dragon Ogre is on the desk and is half done. I'm hoping I'll be able to make some proper progress over the next few days.

I hope that's 'concerns' in the generic "oh my, life will never be the same again/will I be a good father/I hope they're healthy and bright/I hope my lady love will be fine" pre-birth sense, rather than anything specific. Good luck to you!

Exactly right, Rab, and thank you.

Of course we may end up with a Bob-ette. Which means I'll have to find a whole new way of sneaking Ospreys in between the Gruffalo and Alice in Wonderland...

Very nice Minotaurs. Looking forward to seeing those Bob Olley harpies painted up too, did I correctly see on of the male ones in your line up? I've had one of them floating around the lost and damned lead pile for years now, can't find it for toffee at the moment though.

Cheers Erny.

Yeah, I have all three, Ronnie, Nancy and Maggie to do.

I hadn't noticed but there are three and in the back of my mind they may well look like that tripartite of '80s rightwingery. Are you yanking my chain or is this an actual thing!!! I'm going to have to turn the Northern Wastes, erm garage, upside down to find Ronnie. A red head harpy awesome.

I shan't comment on how appropriate or not these models are.

I've definitely heard them called that before, but whether they appeared under those names in catalogues I couldn't say. They really do look like them though. The pics here:

don't make it too obvious, but when you have them in hand it's pretty clear.
