Looking good Harry! I've just started tracking down many of these guys myself...I hope I can make mine look as good as yours!

Let me know if you have/need any spare as I have some and am looking to fill gaps.

Cheers,

Blue

 

[pahvivalmiste]

Lovely... I once had some of these...

Anyways, looking very good!

So Harry when you get to the D's there will be Dragons and DWARFS .Usual great painting Gc

 

[Harry]

@ Blue
I may well have a few left overs.
Certainly will have various archers as I have a lot of them.

@pahviv'
Never sell or give away anything until you have to.

@Giant C'

Their will be both Dragons and Dwarves. In fact it was the Perry Dwarves that got me into this mad collecting thing.

 

[Harry]

Robin Hood and his merry men.

Still not finished ... but taking shape.

Some pictures from the Robin Hood Game:

The Table:

The Castle:

A Tranquil scene in middle England:

It all went wrong when some men in tights started shooting the kings deer!

Wait, what's this? The old tree across the road ploy to steal the kings taxes ...

You get the idea ....
More of the same. Much fun was had ... including the archery contest with my sons bow.
Oldhammer was the winner.

Great stuff (as usual) Harry, looks like a lot of fun.

Great stuff (as usual) Harry, looks like a lot of fun.

Many thanks. It was all good fun. Right down to the archery contest with my sons toy bow.

Not especially oldhammer .... except the using minis you love ... and I love these:

These are some brilliant little sculpts from the talented hands of Kev White at Hasslefree miniatures.
(If you have not discovered him ... well worth a look)

First saw these on Shas'El Tael's excellent Warhammer Quest Thread.

Not only had he given these minis an outstanding paint job but he had produced Character cards for them as Warhammer quest cards and written an adventure around them .... wonderful, wonderful stuff ... well worth a look.

What else could I do ... but try to match his paint jobs as closely as possible.

I am pretty happy with these especially given how small these are.

... and some close ups:

... and the other two:

 

[Citadel Collector]

You've done a grand job Harry!

 

[theottovonbismark]

Adorable! Never seen them heroic kids before but they are great characterful pieces, nice work Harry.

 

[Harry]

Thanks fellas.

They are great mini's ... a mini adventuring party.

 

[Harry]

One more little guy.

I have no idea who he is ... but he is pre slotta. Anyone?

 

[Harry]

Thanks for your help.

Next up .... A dead ( or seriously wounded) Bretonnian Knight ...

 

[Harry]

So this was what got me started painting Bretonnians in large numbers back in January:

Here are a couple of pictures from the HUGE siege game I played at the 'Oldhammer games day' ... "Bring out your lead 2014". It absolutely dwarfed the GROG games. Ridiculous number of miniatures involved. (All beautifully painted by the various folks involved)
Another fantastic weekends gamimg. (Thanks to all involved).
