For a while now I've wanted some Frost Giants, but was never happy with the look of what was available. I saw a TMP member, Sgt Slag, post about using 54mm figures as giants. I thought that was a good idea so I hunted around ebay till I found some I liked. They are based on 40mm round bases and will soon be primed. They are not exactly what I wanted. You know when you have a "look" in your mind? But they are close enough. A few more pics on my website link Xin/Jeff

You know when you have a "look" in your mind? Indeed. And for frost giants, I mostly imagine Molly Hatchet album covers.

Russia definitely has some interesting miniature creations. I absolutely love Zvezda. Those guys look cool. They remind me 2nd edition AD&D. You know… back when it felt like a fantasy game and not a min/maxed generic cash cow. Please post an update when you finish painting them. They look really metal!

Glad to see these figures' weapons are nice & broad. I bought the Orcs from the same company & their weapons were very skinny, so much so they looked out of scale with the chunky Orcs.

Glad you found inspiration from my posting. These figures look great. They have plenty of attitude. Really looking forward to seeing this project progress. Keep us posted. Cheers!

That's nice-- just ordered a box myself, thanks for the tip!

I just ordered that same box from ebay. Always makes me a bit nervous to order from the Russian Federation though.

great find…they fit the bill perfectly.
John Leahy	24 Feb 2016 1:29 p.m. PST
I ordered 3 boxes and two of the minotaurs.

Damn I should have asked for a commission. Glad to share with gamers. Xin
