Fifteen mil fantasy figures

 On his blog the Mad Padre was wondering what I was working on so I thought l would post these. They are by Splintered Light and are centaurs and a dryad. I grew up with the Narnia books and the splendid illustrations by Pauline Baynes. https://www.paulinebaynes.com/

This combined with reading Thomas Burnett Swan in my late teens gave me a liking for Greek fantasy types , not to mention growing up with Ray Harryhausen films. I bought these to oppose my 20mm Minoans. I thought as they were billed as 18mm they might be compatible but they are not . Anyway no problem, I shall see where this takes me...

  1. Too good to put aside. There are miniature horses in the non fantasy world, Perhaps there are miniature centaurs as well? (Miniature as in smaller than usual)

    1. It is very versatile I think. I hope to try it with white felt for snow for example.

  3. I would love to see somebody making minis based directly on the Narnia illustrations. I remember one creepy minotaur wearing a shepherds smock and carrying a pitchfork.... used to terrify me and the pictures of Tash in the Last Battle still do.
