Badly captured group photo below
First let's look at the big freaky monster. It's plastic and it's on a 50mm base that I added a whole bunch of rocks from the Garden. It is made by Wyrd Miniatures for the game Malifaux. I will use him as any number of monsters in the 'Kings of War' rules.
Fortunately the creature is controlled by magic of course by a Mongol shaman who is a conversion with bits from all over the place. Perhaps it isn't real at all, just an illusion he has created.
The snake creature (Razor Spine from memory) colours are a little inspired by the Frill Necked Lizards that live in the park across the road from our place. I glossed varnished the belly as some snakes here are very shiny.
Next is some Dark Age dudes. Warlord games celts for Berserkers and Conquest Games for Normans with axes to break a shield wall and some bows to keep those heads down.
Next is 2 Scibor Dwarves that have been in my waiting room for a long time.
The large stone warhammer fella will be used as a Stone Priest and the Beer Barrel will count as an Army Standard inspiring the Dwarves in Kings of War games.
Finally some more Mongols. 2 Axe throwing maniacs and a spear shaker ready to expand the Khans territory. The Mongol Shaman of course blesses them with the powers of the Eagle.
As previously some very rushed photography but you get the idea. Cheers and enjoy your painting.
This is a wonderfully painted and most eclectic collection Brendon! I was curious to see if you had any fantasy stuff in the locker and now it has appeared I can see it was worth the wait. There are so many things to like about this lot but for me it's all about the facial hair, both the shaman's awesome mo and the glorious dwarven beards.
I'm scoring the spiky cobra beastie as a vehicle given it's size so all up you've earned yourself a solid 95 points with this effort. 250 points to go to your target! Well done indeed. Cheers, Millsy
What a lovely mix of figures Brendon. The shaman's serpent is particularly fine :)
ReplyDeleteNicely painted! Love the Mongols.
ReplyDeleteThat snake is awsome! every thing else looks great as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff as always Brendan! Love the dwarves best of all, but all wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIf the cobra beastie is inspired by some critter in your neighbourhood, then you've confirmed many, many rumours about life in the Antipodes!
So much to admire. Hard to pick out anything better painted than any other, but the giant snake does stand out for being very different. Top job mate.
ReplyDeleteGreat submission, that's a scary monster!
ReplyDeleteThat Razor Spine is absolutely stunning, the rest is great as well but the beastie is my favourite by far!
ReplyDeleteCertainly is a mixed bag!! Great work!

ReplyDeletebig mix of figures well painted as always! my choice goes the mongols ( guess why ???;-)).
ReplyDeleteGreat work on them all! I usually like all the dwarves as a fantasy race fav, but that snake monster is just pure awesome! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. cheers
ReplyDeleteExcellent painting - very well done. I usually think dwarves are overrated, but you've done great work with them in particular.
ReplyDeleteLove the dwarf with the hammer! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteLove the big freaky monster and the Mongols!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great looking collection of minis! Quite some variety there!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of parts for the shaman Brendan. And the Mongols are fantastic as always.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the monster, not that the rest aren't great too, it's just the monsters my fav
