It's a Ral Partha 'Taer' from their AD&D line of miniatures (code 11-400).

Love the story these both tell!  What desperate situation must these archers be in that they are surrounded and have to retreat to a pig pen?  And the Yeti?   lol

What a tough call. Nice details on the Saxons clothing!

The overall scene, and painting on 'Top at Last' are great.

Nice work both!
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Two lovely entries, congrats to both!

Edit: @gnomehome: Just out of curiosity, how did you do the snow?
I've been experimenting a couple different techniques for snow effect, and would be cool to know how you achieved yours.
Thanks!

How does that work?
Like regular flock (glue, flock, dry and that's it)?
