You did a nice job on them! I dove deep in this plastic range! They were just too nice and in my favorite scale. The Uruk Hai were the first ones I painted. I painted up a box of those trolls for my son's army. They really are excellent figs and priced very nicely! My ultimate goal with this range is to see if I can make it mix with Ral Partha's old fantasy range. I own a lot of the Partha stuff. Dragon Rampant would work well. Or maybe Fantastic Battles. Although I'm already doing FB in 10mm. Thanks. John |

John, at this stage, I'm limiting my involvement in fantasy.
What do they say the road to Hell is paved with? I love Ral Partha but don't own any Fantasy figures. With scale, & remember I'm a beginner in this period, can you be fairly loose about scale? Exactly how big is a dwarf? What size is your giant? etc. MY DR force will be loosely based on Saruman's forces. I have a Dark Alliance figure of him that can be riding a Warg or more likely a horse. In general, I enjoy painting (doesn't mean I'm good, sadly) but I'm VERY enthusiastic about painting this force. |

TROLLS ! I hates trolls ! last DR game the opponents ice trolls trashed my leezard force. Hopefully I'll get revenge in 3 weeks ? Mebbe not use my leezard weezard on point this time ? <lol> |

They look good! I started experimenting with speed paints a few months ago. Really digging them for most things. I still mix in some regular acrylics. |

OK, first, yes, I am a horrible human being. I apologize. You post pictures of the trolls you painted, and I see the wizard in the background. I noticed his staff with the cage top. I understand a number of these have been found by archaeologists, who identified as spindles for women to spin thread. Only in the last decade or so have they been re-identified as staffs or magic wands used by shamans in the northern lands for working their spells. So, way cool, good for you, and where can I buy one of these? Grelber |

@ Grelber.Are you after the wand (because you want to be a wizard) or the figure? Sorry, I can't help with the first.
Here's some (poor) photos of the chap:

I am rather proud of the red bit as it looks like it glows. 10% talent, 90% luck. The figure was 3d printed by a commercial company I deal with. They're based in Adelaide &, I guess, bought/made the files? Would you like an address? |
