15mm Lurkio Skythians for Hammy

"Tonight on the Great Leighton Buzzard Bake Off, it's Skythian week."

By pure coincidence, both Paul 'Dracostandard' Cummins and I have been painting Lurkio Skythians. While I am absolutely sure his efforts will knock mine into a cocked hat, here is my presentation to the judges.

Hammy will base these himself, after I deliver them this weekend.

The whole batch.

Heavy cavalry

Lurkio does a good mix of characters.
Rear view.

Horse archers (with a couple of heavies mixed in, as I was running out of sticks)

Rear view

Commanders and standards.

A view I am unlikely to see, Hammy's generals retreating!

For those of you who read morse, I hid Hammy's name on some of the shields...

The random miniatures in my lead pile thread

Hi all, As the months go on, I am finding more random stuff that does not fit into any catagory is creeping it's way up to the surface of my lead mountain. I decided a few years back, rather than just throw it back like one of Nobby's escaped socks, I would actually paint some of them. Nemisis the Warlock - Khaos; Deadlock; the Warlock; the Shape of Things to Come; the Lord of the Flies; Holder of the Sword Sinister; The Death Bringer One of my all-time favourite 2000AD characters (2000AD is a British sci-fi based comic for those not from the fair shores of Blighty).

This is a simple conversion of a heroclix figure, Excessus, Sword Sinister replaced, base ripped off and new one sculpted, undercoated figure, completly repainted, flying stem attached. Sometimes, you just need a seri

6mm Pony Wars commission for a friend.

Friend asked me to do his Pony Wars kit now that Baccus have taken it over. Started off with the two bags of Native mounted figures. Over 200 of them! 72 in the first three bases of 24s. Top view, had fun posing one stand at least The rules suggest bases of up to 50! I went for breakable multiples such as 24. Back view Not the crisp view I was after, but you get the idea. 40 in five lots of 8s Allowing for flexibility. Scoot 48 in fours Top view Threes, ten bases making another thirty. Moving quickly. Top down Twos, twelve of - standard size of US troopers, useful as small change for locals! From above Back view Damn, missed one! And one broke off his base, so he's Hollywood loss (insert Wilheim scream here). Top view 33 ones (two were joined together and counted in the twos. Cantabrian anyone? Spinning maelstrom of Souix! Almost a whole A4 of riders.
