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.)

The Roman Slave Market

Strelets Roman Transport 3.

In the dusty streets of Rome the captured Gauls finally halt. Dragged through the city in chains they now face being sold into slavery. The ones who fall beneath the whips may go no further. For the others, what awaits?

The Pharaoh Hunts

In the scorching desert sun the Pharaoh hunts. This is Caesar's 'Pharaoh's chariot with biblical peasants' set.

Ice Wight

In the heart of the frozen mountain the cursed ice wight Lord waits, brooding on his vengeance for all eternity. 

A foolish band of adventurers disturb his brooding. Who will prevail?

The ice wight and friends from Caesar's undead. The adventurers a Caesar elf, and two Valdemar figs.

Lizard Persons

This time it is Caesar's Lizard Men who are taking the field, or the swamp or whatever.

Nice figures actually. I also have some alternate colour schemes, and blue is also nice.

The base here is a work in progress however.

Hello Ratfans

It's Caesars's Ratmen crawling from the sewers, vile skaven that they are.

Nice figures although I really struggled to get a good picture of them, if I get better pictures after I have painted a few more I'll post them.

The Prince Prepares to Depart

The Prince prepares to depart with his trusty steed. Figures from Valdemar, except the horse which is from Caesar.

Goblins in the Architecture

A contribution from the Land of Giants junior division. The kids' got a good eye.

Hate the Game, not the Flayer

I am far from the first to try to paint Game of Thrones in 1/72. That will not stop me however. To kick off we have those nasty flayers House Bolton. Their arms are a flayed man on pink and their words are 'Our Blades are Sharp' or 'Sausages for Tea' alternatively.The figures is a Caesar Medieval European Knight 13th Century.

Sister Act

A special post for Monkths Month which Sam over at Sam's Mini World is running.

This sister comes from Caesar's partisans. The Citroën is from Ace and the Cafe from Airfix.

J'espere qu'elle vous plait!

Caesar Celts

For this batch of Caesar Celts I tried the 'Games Workshop' method for the first time, with a primer coat, base layer, lighter layer, wash and highlights. I was really pleased with the result, even if it does take a long time!

Clown Prince of Crime

A nasty gang of characters have turned up in town.

Who could be behind this?

Who else but the Clown Prince of Crime himself.

Figures: Caesar Modern Urban Resisters

Cú Chulainn battles Queen Medb

My inspiration for this post comes from the magnificent image above which I found in Belfast City Hall.

"At the age of seventeen he defended Ulster single-handedly against the armies of queen Medb of Connacht in the epic Táin Bó Cúailnge ("Cattle Raid of Cooley"). It was prophesied that his great deeds would give him everlasting fame, but that his life would be a short one. For this reason he is compared to the Greek hero Achilles. He is known for his terrifying battle frenzy, or ríastrad (translated by Thomas Kinsella as "warp spasm" and by Ciaran Carson as "torque), in which he becomes an unrecognisable monster who knows neither friend nor foe" From wikipedia 

Figures are HaT's Gallic Chariot with Warrior Queen, Caesar Fantasy Adventurers, HaT Ancient Germans and Airfix Ancient Britons.

Rumble in the Jungle

An intrepid band of adventurers have come together on a quest. To find a fabled relic lost somewhere in a deep forest. The forest is filled with fearsome creatures, giant black and yellow buzzing fiends, vast slimy monsters who haul their home on their back...and worse.

They hear a guttural snarl. Trouble in the form of lawn orcs.

"Gharr lads! Looks like these little lambs is lost, let's give 'em a hand!" snarled the leader as he scratched at his putrid grey skin.

Poison tipped arrows whistled through the air. "Shoot the barbarian, not me!" cried the dwarf.

"No time for jokes Master Dwarf" responded the old greybearded wizard. Here they come..
