Shouldn't the army of the light be significantly outnumbered? We need fantastical accuracy here! |

Very nice! I am looking to 3d printing in hopes of getting more 1/72 spellcasters for my forces. |

That's a fine looking array! And some great detail shots on your blog. Love the balrogs! What game do you use them for? |

I really like the insect wings on the Elf magess, and the Pegasus horse! Nice twist on traditional fantasy tropes. The green paint scheme on the undead is also a nice variation on the traditional. Granted, it is based on the LotR movies, but it is still quite nicely executed, and different, in a very good way. I like the mottled green and brown basing technique. I began doing something similar, in my figures on 2", or larger, bases, as my technique is less successful on smaller bases. Well done, Paul! Well done, indeed. Cheers! |

I don't recognize most of the figures. Are these the bendy 1/72 plastic types? If so how do you get the spears and swords straight? If other plastics, who makes them? |
| Sgt Slag | 10 Aug 2018 1:06 p.m. PST |
Yes, these are the Caesar, and RedBox Dark/Light Alliance, 1/72 scale, plastic figures. Heating bent figures with a hair dryer will usually bring them back to proper shape: thermal memory, when softened with heat (not enough to melt the plastic), the plastic will return to the shape it was molded into. Cheers! |

Thanks all
@ Bill. Rules used, Chainmail 3rd ed..the one with Fantasy section added.
@ Allen. Luckily most of the swords and spears were straight OOB but if they are either as Sgt Slag says, use a hairdryer or dump them into hot water for a few seconds. Some of them have had spears added using Florist wire, the Urukhai for example. Shouldn't the army of the light be significantly outnumbered? We need fantastical accuracy here!   The Army of the dark will be having a lot more recruits in the future. |

Thanks! You should have some fun battles with those arrays. |

Excellent collection. What figures or set do you use as hobgoblins ? |
| Pauls Bods | 11 Sep 2018 9:19 a.m. PST |
