Mini Stark

Another Dark Sword 'Song of Ice and Fire' mini. This time young Arya Stark, on the run from the Lannisters.

Golden Boys

You can always rely on the Gold Cloaks, the armed force who guard King's Landing, capital city of Westeros in George RR Martin's 'Song of Ice and Fire'. You can always rely on them to be corrupt and useless that is.

Below we find a Dark Sword Gold Cloak guard.

Night's Watchman

No posts for a while, but plenty of painting. The Night's Watch are the sentinels of the Wall in George RR Martin's 'Song of Ice and Fire', better known as Game of Thrones. Below you will find the Dark Sword Miniatures Night's Watch Warrior with Spear.

Some more of these mini's to come.

The Ides of July

Some work in progress on the Strelets Roman Senate I set.

Those sandals are driving me crazy.

Lothlorien with Dandelions

Caesar's Elves is a set I have sought for a long time and I was delighted when it was re-issued. Here they are in a timeless land of power, safe (except for the enormous cat creature sometimes seen.)

Russian Warrior Monks

Below we have my interpretation of Red Box's Russian Warrior Monks.

My knowledge of this episode of Russian history is a bit thin, and I am not the only one who is a bit unsure about the origins of this set.

So best to put that to one side and enjoy the painting.

The robes flow nicely and are great for painting, though there is a small amount of flash. The figures could be assassins, wizards or tribesmen. Or warrior monks of course.

There is also an artillery set, which is tempting to get.

The Paths of the Dead

Some more Dark Alliance, this time Heavy Warriors of the Dead. Plenty opportunity to use some of Games Workshops rust, grime and verdigris effects. Some of these weapons are more likely to give you tetanus than cut your head off.
