Giant for my Copplestone Barbarians

[LeadAsbestos]

Well, Mr. Copplestone has some new releases for the Barbarica 15mm line including 2 must-have giants:

so I thought I'd post my own giant to battle the Hyborian tribes.

 He also happens to be the oldest mini I own, from when I was a wee lad playing D&D. I've always been afraid to paint him, as he is a favorite. But, it was time. I hope I did him justice! He was originally intended to be a giant at 25mm, but scale creep and all, I gave him his proper place! Great, great mini...

A few more barbarians here too:

Enjoy!

Looking great Chris!

Among other things, i hope mr Copplestone does a Pict command group (i use command loosely, maybe leaders would be more appropriate), it would add a bit more dimension to the Picts as a faction.

Now i'm tempted by Dux Britarniarum and wondering if some bolt on basic magic cards might be in order!

Looks great. 

I'm still hanging on for the Romans..

Yet another trip down Memory Lane; I remember that Big Guy causing untold havoc in several campaigns....Against The Giants notably.  He's a GREAT OLD MINI & your FINE brushwork enhanced the Lad WONDERFULLY...well worth the wait I'd say. VERY WELL DONE!

Some neat painting there. With regards to new releases from Mark, this is from an e-mail a chap on TMP had from Mark

"I have started scuplting again and I have just made 2 Giants and a pack of Northlander Warlords for the 15mm range – cavalry are next followed as soon as possible by Pict Characters and the first of the Romans."

We have the giants and on SD forum there is a pic of a Chief on a great bear, so warlords not far off it seems.

[Ray Earle]

Brilliant. Wanted to wait for the Romans before I dived into this range. 

[Commander Roj]

Romans, but not quite as we know them i hope. Just a bit of a twist maybe, or i could just buy some other Romans. Good news about the Picts though, that'll make up a faction for them then.

 The new Copplestone Giants look great as does the Bear rider too.Must get things sorted and place an order for them.

Awesome! I'm currently painting some Asgard Orcs for use as Trolls in 15mm. I need to get me some of those Copplestone Barbarians, too.

[Little Odo]

I have that one too but I didn't paint him as well as you did. I think he was an old Ral Partha Fire Giant?

Yep, had him for almost 25 years?

Me too! And the rules! Seems like Mark is semi-retired these days, however judging from output.

Looks great.

Fantastic work on the giant!  I want to pick up some of his 15mm stuff, but I worry he won't complete the ranges.  How do they compare to other 15mm companies?  His dwarfs are fantastic.

I'm looking at using LoTR as a base for rules. But I'm hoping we see a decent release for the Romans, infantry, command and cavalry at the very least.

I'd be very happy if they were a cross between the 9th legion in 'the eagle' and some fantasy inspired Arthurian types.
