A blast from the past.

[Harry]

Talking of scantly clad babes ...

I painted up this beauty:







and here they are together .... 'usband and wife.

[Harry]

and Just whilst I am posting stuff in multiple threads .....

Here is my most recent post from my 'Ere be giants thread:

Here is a group shot of the three vintage guys already done:



... and here is the next guy done:





Hope you like him. He is a C28 'Perry giant'

[Purplebeard]

Lots of lovely figures here, Harry.

[Caiphas Cain]

The lady troll is gross.

[dwarfhold13]

I agree the lady troll is gross... but another thing I wanted to add.. with all the cool threads that belong to you harry, I say we make a forum sub category for ya!

[sigur]

Hahaha, seconded. So great stuff in here. Love the trolls and the whole 'Ere be Giants thing is an amazing idea. Each model is very characterful and really cool stuff.


@Daniel36: Thanks for the link by the way!

[Harry]

Thank you.

Thanks.

LOL.

Thanks very much. Yes, there has been some great Giants.
I must get back to that plog and get the last few painted.

Keep getting distracted by other stuff.

[Harry]

Meanwhile ... these are what has distracted me recently.

These are pre-slotta C14 "Lesser Night Goblins".
They are rare as hell, a b@gger to find on e-bay and I really want a couple more if anyone has some.














Here is a little conversion I did for a standard bearer:



Here they are as a ranked up unit.



... and small skirmishing unit of archers:

[mrtn]

Those are lovely. They look tiny as well. I recently started to paint Warlord's TYW models, and they're quite a bit smaller than beastmen, I had to go down a brush size.

[Harry]

They are tiny .... snotling sized

Here is one next to a snotling ...

[canberraguy]

Great work Harry. Love this thread as it is a great trip down memory lane!! I feel your pain when it comes to sourcing old figures with being ripped off. Took me years to find a decently priced chaos toilet. Subscribed!

[Karak Norn Clansman]

Tiny miniatures, but I think these pre-slotta ones easily can hold a candle to many later, blockier sculpts. I especially like the wicker shields. I may have written it earlier, but it's worth repeating that your paintjob and basing help bring out the old models. The lesser night goblin unit looks suitably realistic.

[BeatTheBeat]

Consistently great work. It's a joy to follow this thread, even though I sadly lurk more than I comment - paint something badly sometime so we get something to criticize!

Those lesser night goblins are a true gem, and I don't envy you the task of hunting them down...

Keep it up mate, it's always a joy to see this log updated!

Cheers,
BTB

LOL theres not many places you could say that without getting a funny look.

Thanks. Yes these lesser night goblins are at least as nice as any of the snotlings that followed them. I am aiming for realistic over cartoony as much as possible.

It's Ok just to lurk. I am glad folks enjoy them. No need to post everytime you take a look.
They are some great little minis.
Collecting is a marathon not a sprint. I am sure i will come across a few eventually.
Thanks for the support.

[Harry]

So here are some more old minis.

They are C22 creatures. first released in June 1984

A war dog:



Some Chaos Hounds:





and all together:



And a Lion. (Although now I see these pictures i can see I need to go tone down that last highlight. )

[pjschard]

Luvverly lion, looks real nice!

[williamsond]

awesome thread loving the old figures inspired me to dig through my old stuff

Great ... if you find anything you don't want.

[Harry]

Just realised I have never posted up these updated pictures of the spined Dragon on this thread:

He's behind you:
