The Clouds Burst

 Yesterday was my school volunteering day. It included accompanying a class and teacher down the woods. A most enjoyable and useful day. Evening saw me watching the day’s coverage from the Chelsea Flower Show on tv which proved very relaxing and engaging. After a little work here is where we are-


The elves are moving along very nicely and probably only need one biggish push to complete. The goblins  and their warg allies. The wargs are from Warrior Miniatures and their goblin allies from Vendel Miniatures as was. The idea is make a number of small forces which can squabble with each other or work together. The elves , wargs and goblins will be added to in the form of men from the Lake Town. These traders and warriors will have a Rus/Scandinavian/ Slavic look to them. Trading with the elves they also ally themselves with them in battle mostly.

  1. Looks like a decent amount of progress on the fantasy figures

  2. The figures look very promising. I love the look of the Vendel figures and always good to see them on someone's painting desk. I bought a box of the North Star Oathmark wolves and riders last year and duly painted and assembled them, but they don't look as nice as these wolves. Glad you're still volunteering. Cheers, Michael

    1. Vendel are super, aren’t they!
      Not sure who they would mix with manufacturer wise. Possibly Gripping Beast as they were sculpted by the same fellow. I have been tempted by Oathmark figures but resisted.

    Any bears? (Or elves or ents?) I’m glad the volunteering has begun again.

  5. What rules will you play with them? I've been experimenting with Dragon Rampant and may use Warhammer figures for it.

      Which I use for dark age games. Dragon Rampant is an excellent system too and terrific fun.

      Fantasy figures and their world can be wee escape from real life at times.
