Apart from the latest Macrocosm Kickstarter models my dwarfy garrison is complete.

More photos and fluff on the Blog (as always).

Some excellent colour choices here, lovely and coherent army. Btw how many armies is that now? And which ones are you planning to do in the future? ( and which ones aren’t of any interest? I seem to recall you weren’t a fan of dark elves…)

 

[Fimm McCool]

Let's see... I've done my High Elves, Wood Elves, Barbarians, Empire, Orcs and Goblins, Dwarfs, Chaos, Undead. I've just recorded a video on the next big project as a reward for completing all my 'part-finished' forces- Night Goblins! Then that's it for Warhammer Armies (is the plan) and go back to doing small warbands, odd figures I like the look of and other painting I prefer to churning out hordes.

Those dwarves are lovely. I was always fond of green and white, ever since that WD painting with the green/white space marine being armoured - Mentor legion was it? Anyhow this lot look stunning.

Does this mean you can actually see the bottom of your lead pile? I feel there should be some kind of fanfare or ticker tape parade or something if that's the case!

 

[Fimm McCool]

Well as I didn't have a lead pile in 2010 I have a head start on others... Still nowhere near the bottom really, but I want to get the Warhammer armies itch scratched and focus on one-offs. Plus there are all those scenery project ideas...

a nice mix of dwarves, beautifully painted.

Heroes for Warlock of Firetop Mountain.

More on the blog.

Very nice work (as always!). I must have a look at my copy of Warlock and see how complete it is - probably not very! I think my copy has somewhat natty Heroquest-esq plastic minis, were these a separate set of lovely lead like the "Heroes for DungeonQuest" box set (which I do have)?

 

[Fimm McCool]

No these are just the regular plastics that came with it. Though you could also buy a set of them (the plastics) in blister.

 

[EricF]

Wonder if mine are just some random minis then or if they changed the set at some point. I didn't own it back in the day and picked up the copy on my shelf randomly at some point, but have never really properly tried it out!

 

[twisted moon]

nice work, though those earliysh plastics don't really inspire me.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Added the first batch of Encounters to my Warlock of Firetop Mountain set- the NPCs

More details on the blog.

Those are lovely Fimm. Very nice, wish I was going to make it to BOYL to see them in the, err, lead. You've matched the card art perfectly. I think Skeletor, I mean the Wight is my favourite although it's hard to choose.

 

[twisted moon]

much better than the plastic figures.
a good selection from your lead pile, and beautifully painted as ever.

 

[Sleepysod]

these are lovely. Are the original illustrations byGary Chalk?

 

[Fimm McCool]

Russ Nicholson I think. Peter Jones also credited but I think just the box art.

 

[ManicMan]

Dave Andrews is mostly credited with interior art but I've also see Charles Elliot & Russ Nicholson credited with some art.. Apart from the box art of Peter Jones, I've no clue what parts of the interior art is by who..

 

[Fimm McCool]

Charles Elliot I think is the same as Chaz Elliot who was a sculptor with GW. I suspect the miniatures are early works of his.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Dave Andrews I believe did a lot of the floorplans art for GW. It wouldn't surprise me if he was the board artist for this.
