Some miniatures for Song of Blades and Heroes (Frostgrave undead and construct)

[Hobgoblin]

The swarm is growing ... two new and two old. Some more unusual ones are coming up - weirder paintjobs and conversions.

You do have a remarkable talent for making those old monopose plastics look spectacular!

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks!

The rat-pack is growing with a few more additions here. We played a shortish bout of Advanced Heroquest last night, although with orcs rather than Skaven. It really is a great game, I think.

When it comes to the Skaven, I increasingly prefer to paint them with furred snouts and brows rather than bare ones. I had a look through Heroes for Wargames last night, and I see that a lot of the early Skaven were painted in that way rather than the bare-snouted look that predominated later.

Always loved those skaven! Very nice

[Grumpy Gnome]

Looking ratty! In a good way that is!👍

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks, both!

Here are a few more. The Mantic ones at the front will work well as AHQ champions; they're slightly bigger than even the AHQ ones; those are from a period where plastic Citadel grunts loomed large above their diminutive metal command groups!

I quite like the Mantic ratmen overall, although they do suffer from soft detail a bit; I had to more or less paint in the edges of cloth wraps on their limbs.

One idea I have is to use some spare Mantic heads to kitbash some of the remaining monopose types.

The two little modern plastics on the fringes will serve as AHQ sentries.

[Hobgoblin]

And here's a Skaven warlord for AHQ - a modest kitbash from two Mantic kits.

Excellent, as ever.

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks!

Here are a couple more additions: Warhammer Quest Skaven - even bigger than the AHQ ones.

[tikitang]

Very nice!

Those aren't WHQ shields, though. I am guessing the triangular one is a modern Skaven shield, but what about the spikey one?

[Daeothar]

...Warhammer Quest Skaven - even bigger than the AHQ ones.

Incredibly enough, it's only now that I realize that they never were the same sculpt! 

And I even have both games... 

Great unified painting again though!

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks, both!

It's a beastman shield (a "Gor" one, though perhaps from an older kit than the current one).

Oh yes, I see that now. I believe it is still in the current Gor kit.

[Golgotha]

Those are uber cool love the shields.

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks!

Here's a unit of hobgoblin hearthguards for Saga. We use Age of Vikings at the moment, so these chaps could function as Varangians or the like.
