This week I have mostly been painting ....

I'll go check them out.

Meanwhile ....

A is for Albion.

Who else but The Giants of Albion. (Well the first one at least .... his mate is coming soon!)

A handy size guide just before I am asked:

And here is the gang all together again:

They are an inspiration to all those of us with unpainted Giants lying around. The plastic toys are great as well.
 
Is that a Forge World Stone Troll? He's mental....

And nice to see a genuinely scary Nagash too! Thought it was impossible with that model!
 
Thank you all very much.

@Fimm
Yes that is a Forgeworld Troll ... makes a great Orc 'n' Goblin Giant..

@Thansants
The hood worked well. I wanted him to fit in with my Night goblin army.
I have another i plan to paint more traditionally.
 
A is for Adventurers ... in this case Citadel's Fantay Adventurers

I have painted up my LAST Fantasy adventurer.

From 1982 He is FA31-2 Paladin in full chainmail.

Also had another go at this guy.
I wasn't very happy with my first effort.
This one is a bit cleaner and brighter than before.

...
 
So here are ALL my Fantasy adventurers together.

Never liked the others ... for me these 12 were the gems of the Fantays adventurer series.

I also Painted up FA8 ranger with sword and bow but forgot to gt a picture ... I will get that up tommorow.

Finally I painted up FAC Female thief with dagger and sack.
(I have no infantry counterpart for this as i never liked the sculpt fpor the unmounted version)

I am thinking the black horses were a mistake for both these minis.
May have to repaint them?
 
Finally for here are all my Fantasy adventurer cavalry together:

adventurers026.jpg


and here they are with the guys on foot;

You may have spotted I do NOT have a cavalry version of the young lady.
if anyone can help me out with this mini ... as you can imagine I would be delighted:

I am also missing the mounted version of my last fantasy adventurer the paladin in full chainmail .... so if you can help with either of these minis give me a shout.
 
If you have followed my project logs (or just check out my He-Man, Beastman, Yeti Giant in an earlier post) you may know I have a thing for using cheap plastic toys whenever I can. So I am loving my latest addition.

It reminds me of the make do and mend mentality I had to have as a youngster when I could not afford all the minis I wanted (and plastic zoo animals and toy soldiers stood in for all kinds of things) and then it just makes me smile to field a Giant thats bigger than everyone elses that cost me £2 on ebay rather than £30-£50 for a Giant made for gaming.

Well for my D&D games I need a Giant Ant. (Who doesn't? Right?)
I had a look on the interwebz and couldn't find anything very much but then I remembered my boy had a tube of cheap plastic bugs ... so on the off chance I asked him if there was an ant amongst them?

There was ... Here he is (Popped him on a 40mm base).

Couple more of the (rare/unreleased) minis I have been painting for Olivaso.
This time a couple of invisible LotR models.
Not much to these ... just bases to paint.

Whilst I am on LotR ... I have started to paint up so me of stuff I have collected for LotR.
My fave character when I first read the books and then again when I watched the films was Aragorn.

A is for Aragorn.

I have these:
