This is shaping up to be an impressive collection.

I especially like that ragtag bunch of men at arms, I may just steal that idea...

When everything is put together, I think it will look very impressive!
Looking forward to seeing this project grow.

The Men-at-Arms were some of my favourites to build and paint, a real joy. The GB and FF stuff is plug-n-play. I'd imagine if you had a couple different sets from each manufacturer you could come up with some really genuinely cool stuff (particularly for a near-historical setting like Song of Ice and Fire etc. I'm not in love with up-close photos, but here are some I snapped of the figs.

I really love this lead character (might even be used as a hero on occasion)

Nice. They can easily defend the guard room of your dungeon.

Bugbear number two just came off the workbench...

Really nice work. I think that bugbear has turned out especially well.

great stuff!

Thanks guys, my blog (post 1 link) has some before/after stuff. I struggled with the two bugbears because I really didn't enjoy painting them - just...something about the sculpt I guess. Oddly I was super happy with the end result, but just one of those minis that you struggle to finish. I have four others which are different more interesting sculpts I'm working on.

Not bad though starting with this:

The Guards painted up SPLENDIDLY & the Bugbear is a WONDROUS transformation. VERY WELL DONE!

Would you be able to post up a pic with otherworld adventurers and some of the fire forge guys? Im curious how they match up with historicals

Elbows · « **Reply #26 on:** May 02, 2014, 09:39:28 PM »

Sure, I'll snap some pics in a bit.

EDIT: Here ya go. The Otherworld are still a bit slight compared...but they stack up quite well with the Fireforge and Gripping Beast combos. If anything the OW guys are slightly bigger, because the FF and GB have small plastic droplet bases which I didn't carve off.
