Hidden in the Media Gallery. Some pics that are randomly showing in the media area of the blog…

Some of the images/projects below may have made an appearance on this blog previously. I can’t be 100% sure. For the sake of “catching up” I am posting them here just in case. It is random, but then some of the best things are.

Can’t see the wood for the trees. A medley of Ents and treemen.

I had almost forgotten about my blog. So why should you remember about it either? In a vain attempt to update the blog with some content that has been waiting on the side lines for quite sometime now, I present the gathering (woodland, forest) of treefolk that I’ve accumulated over time. They come from various manufacturers and different time periods of my hobby life.

Still here. Just being negligent. Here is a big mean thing to revitalise things.

It’s been over a year since my last post and even then there had only been a handful in 2023. I do love this blog but my attention has been drawn to other matters in recent times. Will I rectify this? I hope so.

In the mean time here is a large Kraken from the boardgame Conan that I finished off a while ago. He has not made it to the table yet (haven’t been playing very much either) but I think he looks the part if a little risqué (I didn’t sculpt him so not my fault).

The Gap Plug Project: Demonworld Thain Army almost completed

Anyone that’s visited here before will probably know of my fondness of the Demonworld range of 15mm fantasy miniatures available from Ral Partha Europe. Easily amongst the best available in this scale.

I also like barbarians so it wasn’t long before I had bulked my collection of Thain warriors a few years back when RPE started selling single sculpts (making the collecting of ‘unique singles’ far more viable).

If you were to dig around this blog you’d come across several post of previously painted Thain. These had been intended for skirmish type games so there was no real logic applied in respect to unit types although I did stylistically link them using an ochre base with a blue-based tartan in some cases. Despite the fact that I am not gaming so much nowadays, inspired in part by Facebook Dragon Rampant chatter, I decided to group the collection in to 12 strong units that could be used for DR. So the photo above shows this logic and 4 warrior units would be the result (and an archer unit still to be painted).

Here is how they panned out.

The Wolf/Beast unit – 7 miniatures above had already been painted that would form the theme for this unit.

A few more additions to make the unit 12 strong.

Mini Update: Reinforcements for the Demonworld Barbarian Hordes

In the back ground I’ve been slowly working through my large stash of the brilliant Demonworld barbarians – the Warlords of Thain – available from Ral Partha Europe.  Easily among the best 15mm fantasy available today.

This is the ‘Eagle Arrow’ Ballista which should add a few options to a Dragon Rampant or any other army list.
