10mm Fantasy
« on: April 10, 2012, 08:03:06 PM »
Think I'm being tempted away from God's own scale...  :D

Or at least pleasantly distracted, although I have found myself looking up other companies as well as Copplestone who make 10mm stuff.

Anyways here's a few more detailed shots of my LOTR themed entry for the LPL last week - Ugluk's last stand

Thanks to Orctrader for a very close and exciting match!  :)

Wow, these are astonishing. What a great amount of detail for that scale, and your painting really brings it out. I like the cavalry the best.

Really great painting! Now get yourself some Copplestone Barbarians @ 15mm, and you'll be set!

Thank you kindly sirs.

Me too Cherno - very happy with how the riders turned out, although they did get more time spent on them.

Yup - although those 15mm barbarianns are rather nice too - not that I need tempting LeadAsbestos!

Thanks muchly Ray but afraid I'm being a bit thick  ::) - is 10mm gaming usually considered the preserve of the more mature gamer?  :)

Mr Harold - they are Copplestone's 10mm fantasy range

Trust me. 10mm needs young eyes.

Once you get over 50 you can barely see 28mm!  o_o

I thouight that was what you meant Ray - I'd best get on and paint up my old 6mm Space Marine stuff then before the march of Time overtakes me!  lol

Thanks Spooktalker - I agree, especially with the other larger scale and more time consuming projects I've got in the go or in the pipeline.

Those are REMARKABLY WELL DONE. Just thinking about doing brushwork to that high a standard on such tiny Fellows is enough to give me a severe case of sympathetic eye strain.

Very nice indeed.  I've been looking at 15mm fantasy stuff for a while, but have always managed to talk myself out of committing.  Two questions: are you using Warmaster as rules and did your eyes bleed at any time during the painting process?
