Miscellaneous Miniatures

Looking for minis for my WFRP Norsca campaing, I've recently found some interesting ones from Artisan Guild (Northmen Huskarls, 3D printed). Three of these will be the crew for a 3D printed mammoth from Epic Miniatures (Ice Age Madness range) that will join my norse army for WFB. The Mammoth is big, but not enough in my opinion. I should have asked for a higher scale, but it will be OK on the tabletop.

Then, we have four Wraiths, also by Artisan Guild, that will be facing the PCs along with their master (a Lich I have painted last month) at the end of the next scenario.

Finally, we have a Valkyrie from Clay Cyanide Miniatures, also 3D printed, that might come to the PCs help, sent by the norse god of the dead, Helenir, should they need it when fighting the many undead they will encounter in this scenario.

The Red Bard Alternative

Some time ago I've been looking for Gruntas and Snortas to add cavalry units to my Orcs and Goblins army. I managed to get some from the well known auctions site, but not enough. And I didn't want to go over a certain price. 

Then, I found - I don't remember how - some Orcs riding boars on the site of a new Spanish miniatures manufacturer: Red Bard Games. While visiting their site, I was surprised to see that they've also produced an Orc riding a War Wyvern, an Orc shaman riding a boar and a complete O/G baggage train. I found also a pair of nice Ogres and two Dwarf carts. Then, recently, they've also added a Gob shaman riding a Cockatrice and three Gob Fanatics. Last but not least, they have also procuced a Daemon Asscannon! 

All of these minis are a more than good alternative for old school miniatures. Their size, their look, their attitude are just perfect and fit well with the rest of my army. They are 3D printed in resin, easy to assemble and with no mould lines.

Here are some I have just painted.

Of Curved Beak, Talons and Claws

Those who started playing Warhammer Battle in 4th edition usually associate Griffons with Emperor Karl Frantz, or with an elven lord (whose name I forgot) in 5th or 6th edition. But, initially, Griffons are chaotic creatures...

Extract from Warhammer Battle rulebook (3rd edition):

Chaos War Beasts

The Chaos Army can align an large variety of war beasts. Here are two of them: the Manticore and the Chimera.

For a long time I wanted my Manticore painted. It's now done. I've already used it (unpainted) three times: once on the battlefield against Wood Elves (3rd edition) and two times in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 1st edition scenarios (in the first book of the Doomstones campaign and in a home-made campaign taking place in Norsca).

The Chimera is from the Reaper Bones range. It's a cheap plastic figure and a good alternative for OOP Citadel minis. Its size is quite big though, twice as big as the Manticore mini. I should have taken a pic with the two minis side by side, but I forgot.😟

I'm really satisfied of the result.
