Well.. probebly not gonna post that often but want to and it'll help me with my camera work and probebly some advice and tips on painting and stuff..
First up: Part of a side project (I got a few of these.. cause.. of course I do ^_^). Back in the 80s, there was a great computer game released for the Atari ST desktop computer line, later ported to other systems.. It was called 'Dungeon Master'. VERY loosley based on DnD (in that one member of the staff had played it and they got some ideas for character stats and classes), with a tiny bit of Tolkien for some names, and a bunch of other stuff thrown in by the character designers, It was a great game and i played it alot as a child.. though I find it.. a little bit dated now it's still a good game.. I decided i wanted miniatures for atleast all the Enemies in the first two games (Dungeon Master and Dungeon Master: Chaos Strikes back). Some of these monsters are pretty generic and easy-ish to find figures, others much harder and more unique.
Anyway.. the First up was something pretty simple with bits i had to hand. The Skeleton.
The top image is the Miniature (of course) and the bottom is a scaled up copy of the in-game sprite. While it does look like it, in game the Skeleton has a wooden shield and Falchion. So to reproduce this figure, I still have a bunch of bits from the old Skeleton Army boxsets from 1989.. boy, that was pretty good set. Anyway.. Put together one from bits, had the Falchion from the set so that was good, and I added a woodern shield from some bits i got some G4 Skaven Clanrats and I think fits the bill. Basically 39 enemies (though a couple of them are minor tweaks and atleast one is.. gonna be extremely tricky.
