So little war...

Given VE Day this week it is worth considering current conflicts. 

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts

My son said today; “I am sending my imagination to war!”

Golgotha's Fantasy - Elven Statues

Herewith, some statues to demarcate the Elven Kingdoms.

See: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=123935.msg1567062#msg1567062

Elven bits here taken from the Lord of the Rings Risk pieces. Risk is a terrible game and not worth playing, no matter the variant. Try Avalon Hill's Diplomacy instead. Stone carved from blue foam, with eagles mounted on what had been pen lids. The standard bearer continues the flying eagle theme of my Elven army. Miniature is old GW. Banner is foil with metal rod. 

These are molded in dentist clay using old Prince August Fantasy chess set.

They look suitably ancient and broken. The bases here were from wedding cake pillars. The miniature is a Mithril miniature. Also shown on his own below. 

Golgotha's Fantasy - Beastmen and Nasty Beasty

Herewith, some Beastmen and a nasty beasty. I still need to add shields to some of these. I seem to have a lack of shields at the moment. I may well normally use my recent Minotaur additions to bolster this growing army. Together with other demonic insundry.

The one on the left here is my favourite and looks rather dog like.Though I do also like the Demonic grin on the one on the right. 

Most seem to paint the frill as part of the creature I thought it made more sense as armour. 

This chap also makes a great werewolf. 

This one reminds me of the movie Erik the Viking, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_the_Viking

This miniature also makes for a nice female werewolf. Can't recall the manufacturer. She is tall see the comparison below.

I like the way the little bush came out. 

I added a bit of pattern interest on her quiver. 

This chap is rather brutish and Minotaur like. Old Dungeons and Dragons miniature. 

This nasty beast was a toy. It was a translucent orange and only originally had 2 eyes on one side so I added another two. I have no idea what it is, or for that matter what it was originally meant to be. I do not think I will base this one as I am unlikely to use it much, if ever, and if I do would like it to be able to also be placed in a snow or dungeon setting. Having said that I really enjoyed painting it. I gave the purple tentacle like tongue a gloss varnish as well as the eyes. I imagine it bounding around like a puppy and eating rocks which it dissolves in acid - making it a rather nasty beasty to encounter... or some such. I think I will call him Roggle. A romping rock eating Roggle. 

Size comparison. 

Golgotha's Fantasy - Minotaurs

Herewith, some Minotaurs. The larger ones here are by a Russian company called Tehnolog
See: http://www.tehnolog.ru/product.php

See: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=123935.0

This one is not by Tehnolog, but he is a toy Minotaur, which I repainted, he like the ones above still needs to be based.  He came with some knights and other fantasy miniatures and he is like a miniature version of the Schleich toys.

This one in my mind is rather "classic" looking indeed I may well use him for a game against some 1/72 Greeks. 

Size comparison. I am happy with the Tehnolog Minotaurs and feel I have now filled what I saw as a gap in my collection. I am not as happy with them as I am with the Trolls but then I prefer Trolls. Also, I think the Trolls are better quality and looking miniatures. Still if one wants some cheap large monsters these certainly fit the bill. and are fun to paint up.
