Re: Some miniatures for Song of Blades and Heroes (with added Slann)

Thanks, Vladimir. I'd forgotten what nice miniatures the first Trish Morrison set of Slann are. The Perry ones are tremendous, but the last set by Trish Morrison (bigger, almost uniformly posed) are pretty dull. These ones, though, are excellent - and augment the Perry ones very nicely.

Here are some Runequest miniatures - a crested dragonewt and a broo. They need the odd detail added here and there - I think the broo's surcoat could probably do with some filthy runes.

Have I already said that your shields win everything?  :-*

Many thanks, all!

Here's the shield on the back of that Golfagian ogre:

Your shields are definitely the highlights of your creations. VERY WELL DONE!

Many thanks again!

Here is a companion for the ogre. I've got quite a few of these Jez Goodwin Uruk-hai kicking around (perhaps the whole range - certainly enough for a SBH warband or a Lion Rampant unit). They're far too big for Tolkien's uruks, but I plan to use them with the Goodwin hobgoblin and ogres to form a continuum: goblins that range to a very large size, perhaps, or ogres and half-ogres of various sorts.

NOW I'm jealous! Lovely painting, and I've always wanted those uruk-hai...

Thanks very much!

Here's a troll (actually an "uggruk" from Paul Henni's old Acropolis range, but he's a troll to me).

The Troll does look like he'd enjoy a prolonged stay under a bridge...GREAT miniature with an ample amount of personality AND a FINE paint job. VERY WELL DONE!

Thanks, DeafNala. Yes, he does exude a certain appetite for goatflesh.

I don't know if you saw the Acropolis range, but I think some of the more Froudian stuff would have been right up your street.

Edit: Froudian! A pox upon this autocorrect!

Here's a troll of a very different sort. I think the Tom Meier Citadel/Ral Partha range (of which this is one) are probably the best troll miniatures ever made - equally at home striding across the Morannon or populating a particularly nasty Hans Christian Anderson story. He's not quite finished, but he's getting there.

These three will form a Lion/Dragon Rampant unit, as well as a considerable chunk of an SBH warband.

Is that Acropolis range still available? Love it!
