Old School Fantasy Painting Log (Updated 24/12/20)

I think your barbarian is a variant on the AD&D range Barbarian. You have the other 2 poses in the lot, but they all have different heads.

Great haul, btw!

Using old style Magic cards as the basis for Song of Blades and Heroes cards... I like it! Very appropriately old school but innovative at the same time.

Bloody hell, that's a nice haul there! Hard to NOT get the juices flowing with that at your hands.

[Bloodysword]

Those are some beautiful models! Some times ebay doesn't suck eggs.

[TF Riley]

Wow, indeed a nice haul, good on you mate!

It is indeed an AD&D Barbarian, there were 5 or 6 variants for each of the three basic designs.

Cheers!

Nice catch ! And good painting as always. I'm ashamed that I didn't make any progress on mine 

[Admiral Benbow]

I like these cards very much, will possibly make my own set. Thanks for sharing!

Hello everyone and hows it going? I can't believe its been nearly two years since I've posted anything in this thread. Sorry for the disappearing act sometimes life kicks you in the nuts and other times life tears them off whilst giggling maniacally...

I'm finally back in a position where sitting down to paint is something that I can enjoy again and hopefully I'll have time to get creative again. Most of these bits and pieces have been painted over the last year so they're not necessarily 'new'. It looks like some of my older pictures have disappeared too, I think when I had a purge of my flikr I may have moved some stuff around and screwed up the links, so apologies for the gaps.

Anyway enough waffle here's the most 'recent' stuff:

Really old Citadel Balrog, red, red and lots of red

Again a really old solid base citadel zombie sculpt

I've no idea who manufactures this knight but I like the sculpt with his little stumpy legs. I've tried to make the shield look as if the design is painted over old splintered wood by adding tiny little vertical flashes of white over the freehand flame.

Classic citadel knight, I've tried to keep the color scheme the same for this guy and the flame shield knight and copied the 'XXXX' motif on both to suggest maybe they're related.

Lovecraft Gug I think, I have a feeling they're 'supposed' to be grey in the fiction.

Unknown moss figure that I think needs something else doing to it as it doesn't really work. I hate using the term but it doesn't really 'pop'.

DSCN0093 by headnhalfilikepaintinglead, on Flickr

Some kind of green wraith I think from Ral Partha

I also made some packing foam terrain, and here's a few group shots:

Hopefully going forward I'll have more things to show you lovely people, cheers.

Great to have you back! Now let's talk about you trading/selling to me those barbarians I so helpfully indentified for you!

[randycarter]

Hi, like a lot your figures, I think your basing is great. 
I like most the non-swamp-thing mini (I'm a big fan of the Alan Moore comic book): maybe you may think about adding something on the background, like a couple o trees with lianas behind him (the model is very flat, doing so meybe could give him a bit of 3D...)

[DeafNala]

WELCOME BACK! You have added a BEAUTIFUL array of SPLENDIDLY painted & base creations to your collection...AND an OUTSTANDING terrain piece. VERY WELL DONE!

It looks like most of your older photos have disappeared...c'est la vie, eh?!

[ilikepaintinglead]

Resurrecting this thread from the grave. Most of my old pictures have gone down the toilet with Photobucket such is life.
Most recently I've been painting up the cult of the Kracken lord from  midlam miniatures, awesome old school miniatures with tons of character:

They are awesome, slimy and uurrgghhh.

[Little Odo]

Yeeurgh! Suitably creepy - having them without faces adds to their otherworldliness. Nice work on the paint jobs.
