Some miniatures for Song of Blades and Heroes (Rust Monster face reveal)

Tin Soldier! Nice. My very first minis were 15mm's from tin soldier. Bought some a while back for nostalgias sack + the ones I really wanted too back when I was a kid. Tyrannosaurs with goblin and orc riders for the win!

Yup - you can't beat those! They have me wondering about diving back into 15mm all over again - and the service from the company is absolutely top-notch.

Thank you for the pics  .

Great work mate! 1/72nd is too small for my but you do a great job with them.

[102-year-old-man]

very nice!

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks, gents!

Here are some very quickly painted goblins for a friend's children. Black gesso undercoat, grey and white drybrush, contrast paints, details: done!

[Vladimir Raukov]

Great work on the gobbos, they came out a treat.

[Dr. Kevin Moon III esq.]

Great work! Even more impressive as a speed job!

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks, guys - and Happy New Year!

Here's a little warband of ratmen. These are old Grenadier figures from Forlorn Hope Games. I'd long overlooked them as inferior Skaven knock-offs, but having take a closer look, I really like them. They're very characterful (and armed to the teeth - the more heavily armoured ones with black fur have crossbows on their backs), so great for skirmish games.

These fellows are shortly to be used in our first game of En Garde. A while back, I painted up some goblins with the vague idea of using them in supernaturally tinged swashbuckling games:



I have a full warband of them now close to completion, but the ratmen have overtaken them. I'm planning to add various warbands that will fit into a vaguely sixteenth/seventeenth-century setting. I'm planning to throw landsknechts, musketeers and some of the sixteenth-century knights from Steel Fist into the mix with no regard for anachronism. I'm thinking of the ahistorical atmosphere you get in the fairy tales of the Grimms and Hans Christian Anderson, in which soldiers making their way home from unspecified wars might encounter supernatural beings.

I'm also planning to make some modular 1' x 1' terrain boards for this. The idea here is that these will work as areas of ruins or built-up areas on our big gaming table, but can also be combined to make small tables for more intimate skirmish games.

Those rats are just the thing! Would be splendid in a pirate game.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Loving your work mate, great color palette!

[Mr. White]

Sweet models with beautiful paint jobs!

Those Ratmen have a very nice Leiberian touch on them. The good guys should maybe include a grey hooded thief and a red haired barbarian. Splendid work!

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks, guys! I'm afraid the photos don't show them up very well because today's daylight was so dim.

They got slaughtered today in En Garde by three orcs masquerading as musketeers!

Funny you should say that! En Garde has profiles for the Twain, and I've just been looking at potential kitbashes for them. I'm going to go with a Vitrix viking body for Fafhrd with a Fireforge longsword.

For the Mouser, I'm going to do something similar to the guy on the left, whose base I've just been tarting up for this skirmish project:

Pretty cool ideas. Very excited to see where this is heading.
