VERY NICE MASHING! The Pointy Eared One's cloak is stunning. Despite the self deprecation all your pieces are BEAUTIFUL. I especially like The Babes.

Thank you.

@Grimmnar: The High Elf is not a conversion. He was the games day giveaway figure back in 2001 or 2000. I picked him up a year or two later after seeing him in a painting/showcase sidebar in the catalogue. I just love the pose, the kit, everything about it.

I have some closer pictures of some figures I painted before these. The pictures (and the paintjobs) are not as good, but far be it from me not to troll for cheap compliments

Oh and the two dragons were conversion jobs:

Nice painting Fram.

You've got some really nice looking miniatures.

That Aragorn model is one of my favourites of the GW LotR range. And it goes well with the color you've chosen. Where is the last model, the druid/sorceress from? It's a cute figure and nicely painted.

Thanks guys.

That's a red-box-miniatures mini, "Myrianna of Aelfheim".

I love this model I think I have 3 of them now! (I have no clue why I picked up soo many..)

Tell me more of your Jonas Freeborn!

Janos was a conversion made from several different Mage Knight figures and a bit of greenstuff.

The main problem is that he's a bit big in scale (though thankfully he's still shorter than the humans/elves) and his arms are a bit oversized. Mage Knight dwarves are like Blizzard/WoW Dwarves: they're pretty big, and basically just look like incredibly stocky 4-foot tall humans. So it kind of works.

But if Scibor ever makes a Dwarf Sniper Rogue I totally fall in love with, I might replace that figure. Especially if he's equipped with a blunderbuss.

If and when that occurs I will gladly take him from you!

Fram,

You could do what I did an convert the kneeling 40k Ratling sniper.

That is indeed the one!

Not quite the look I had in mind. The fellow I made is actually perfect other than his being a bit too large (and having arms that are a bit too big). I have more of the same head/torso combinations, so maybe in future I will try the same mod again if I can find some dwarf-ish arms holding a blunderbuss or rifle which fit the head & torso without being quite so oversized.

New fella. Got a lot of elves to convert.

Those older-style bases are gonna be a problem. Much harder to turn them without manhandling the figure.

LOL Fram, i knew you had this fig around somewhere waiting on paint. :-) I picked this one up at a HMGS Flea Market table for a nice fee. Like him a lot. Hate the axe shaft though. Needs to be turned around. But that is the shortcomings of the sculpt not your paint job.
As for your paint job i do like it a lot. Very straightforward. Very crisp and clean. It is not the usual bright colors of a High Elf but not dark. Not sure how to explain that comment. Its like the colors are muted a bit.
I am loving the shield design. The horizontal diamonds. Are they freehand or stencil? :-)
