Mythical Earth: the bad guys on parade

For the first time I have put out all ( or nearly all as some are under repair like Shelob or awaiting painting) my Mythical Earth baddies on parade together. One thing that I notice particularly is the lack of uniformity in basing, something that will need to be remedied one day. Anyway I hope you enjoy this self indulgent wallowing in old school lead.

    A trip down memory lane... as it were. Nice work!

    Wonderful stuff! I like your Oliphant - the Harad figures were really nice.

    Wonderful! I had a Mythical Earth collection when I was at school in the 1970s-thanks for the nostalgia kick!

      Me too re school. I took my Mythical Earth to my friends for a game and he brought round his Napoleonic Naval ships to mine. Carried my figures in a couple of shirt boxes.

    Great to see these again - where fantasy gaming all started for many of us.

    Hi Alan-yes, great to have this collection of Middle Earth original figures- it'l be a huge job to re-base them all the same bases. Cheers. KEV.

    Cool! LOTR/Middle Earth is always good in my book.

    I have too many minis with different basing (plastic bases, washers, round, square, oblong, rectangular, static grass, sand, sawdust, flowers, different colors around the edges, etc., and even a few multi-based).

    Are you going to mass base the individual ones or penny tuppenny base the mass base ones for flexibility and use a 1p 2p movement tray from warbases? Decisions, decisions ...

      Really can’t make up my mind. Also whether to go for plain old school basing or fancy static grass and tufts look. I will not make rash decisions but will ponder.
