Maybe Andy should put a link to his store in his signature! (Hint, hint... )

That is enough of shanghai-ing this thread! Back to your warband Karl!

No worries, I dont mind at all

Here's a pic of the Black Tree swamp troll. Can't find them on the BTD site though...
from left to right: Grenadier wood elf, BTD swamp troll, Chronopia viridian lord.

Are these Fantasy Forge celts and swamp trolls still available somewhere?

Great series, the best of the lot! Nice to see exactly where the inspiration for the Celtos minis came from...

Can Also recommend the "Books of Invasion", they are brilliant.

Like "Horned God" is as well

Not to hijack the thread, but to put useful info in the same place:
The Fantasy Forge figs reminded me of the Renegade ones and and I remembered an old story. From an anient (2003) thread on Frothers:

Quote

These miniatures (apart from the guy on the left) were produced by Harlequin in the mid 90's. They were made by Roy Eastland (where are you now Roy?) at the end of his time at Fantasy Forge, and were part of a batch that was released for sale by them (FF) as they were going broke. There was some confusion as to who then owned the rights to the minis, and I think that they were sold twice, once to Harlequim and once to the nice chaps at Renegade (maybe one side bought the moulds and the other bought the Greens?).

These actual minis have been kicking around for about 10 years, I moulded them once each for the two companies mentioned above (I always remember a miniature I've worked on). The Chieftain is a conversion from the excellent "Slaine" model that Roy did for Fantasy Forge.

Roy Eastland has a talent the nobody in the miniature industry has yet harnessed, It would be very good to see more of his work, he made some fine early medieval Saxons for Harlequim which are no longer on sale for some reason.

Yes, the Renegade minis are great too.
I want to get me those 4, but they are selling them in a blister of 8, 2 of each sculpt.
If there's somebody interested in sharing a blister of these, please let me know
