Things from the swamp

[Ensign Madcap]

I've been carrying on unearthing my old fantasy figures to look at. and came across these Swamp Lords from minifigs. I painted a swampy army up about 15 years ago and will post more pictures as we go along. I remember going to the first Games Workshop in 1 Dalling Road Hammersmith, in the late 70's early 80's and seeing these swamp lords in a glass cabinet along with the rest of the VFW range.

I have got pictures of the Swamplords altar too, but as it has naked females being hacked to pieces by slobbering monsters I thought I had better check before posting them!

Those are pretty cool looking, nice army.

Did you paint these guys 15 years ago? If so you must be a pretty amazing painter today! I always stayed away from minifigs; thought they looked a little goofy. You are changing my opinion of the range, these are really original and pretty freakn' cool!

Keep posting

Those Swamp Guys really bring back some memories...God but I feel OLD now. That aside, since I'm going rather swampy with my latest (&probably last) project, these BEAUTIFULLY painted & based Little Wonders have a special appeal. VERY WELL DONE!

I'm 44 now, so I suppose I was in my late 20's when I did these. I seem to find a lot of painters reach an optimum level of painting and then either maintain it, change styles or regress, and I suspect I am in the latter category. It's been a while since I painted 28mm figures but have been doing some 1/72 plastics and 54mm Toy soldier style stuff, which is highly therapeutic, like colouring in pictures, but not very taxing!!

Don't we all

Discovered this post when searching for Swamp Lords pics on Google....thought it worth resurrecting as I'd missed it first time round! Great PJs - do you have pics of the others? I've just got mine out from back in the day and am slowly working my way through the litter bearer at the moment......

A really odd bunch, I like them a lot - would love to see the altar!
