Tancrede's fantasy adventure
« on: January 04, 2016, 03:11:33 PM »
Hi guys !
It's been a long time since I post a thing, mainly because I have no fantasy thread running on this forum (and I'm mainly painting fantasy miniatures for months...)

Some of you have seen my work on my bretonnian / medieval army in the "medieval adventure" section of the forum.
I have played and painted Warhammer miniatures for more than 25 years now, but the end of the Old World had driven me far away from the GW rules.

I now play Kings of War for massive battles. But as my son is growing and as he want to play with his father, I have bought the Dragon Rampant book to play some skirmish games in the Old World. He wanted to play some skavens after seeing a friend of mine playing his army against my Empire, so I have decided to collect and paint him his first army.
And as I'm a really old nostalgiac and grumpy player, I have started to buy some old metal skaven minis for him (and for me, as I'm the painter !) to fight against my own armies (elves and bretonnians)

So in this thread you will see some skavens, elves and bretonnians, and whatever I want to paint and collect for my fantasy games.

For my elves, some wardancers, a hero and a sorceress (those are the last painted minis for my elven armies, but I have many more to show) :




And for my son, some old skaven minis (more rats coming soon) :



For those who wwant to see more of those minis, just take a look at my blog.
And as always, C&C welcome !

Nicely done!  :-* Can you not get your son into painting too? Why are the Skaven on round bases? Is Dragon Rampant mord of a skirmish game?

Thanks for comments, guys !

My son's actually 7. A little young to have a good looking army, but he as painted 2 little skavens and he's not that bad for painting.
But he prefers to play X-Wing for now (and he has too many lucky rolls to my taste !  :D).

For today, just some more elves for you.

- no oldies, but those sea guards are really nice minis, full of details :


- and my white lions :
