Some more Fantasia goodies.


I thought I should post the final units of my Never Mind the Billhooks, Fantasia army. I am nearing the comp-letion of the army which is a shame in some respects as I have enjoyed painting the figures, but I have more than enough units to fight really big battles as it is.

I attended Fiasco wargames show the other week and picked up a couple of interesting 'old school' figures from Colour Party Paints who is selling off some of his father's creations. He was a respected figure sculpter. I already have a few 25mm 12c knights but picked up two lovely 75mm figures.

The first was this lovely female executioner, unpainted. I was assured it was a one off and was never commisioned or replicated. All I had to do was refix her head and paint her. She was very enjoyable to paint and will be one of my champions.

 

I placed another order with Rob Young who sells the Garrison range. He very kindly included a couple of figures I didnt have, including this wacky chap. He reminds me of a Brughel  demon. In Fantasia you have the option of summoning either a demon or a dragon. Naturally I now have both options.
 But I still havent located a genuine Garrison dragon. 




                             I fancied a unit of wild beasts ie. tigers for my Amazonian contingent.


Rob created a 'new' Amazonian. Naked but with spears and shields. Naturally I had to have some.


Another unit of heavy cavalry. One can never have enough. These are Tauren I believe.



I picked this figure up at Fiasco. Yes he is a brand new figure, but I cannot remember which company sold them. He was too good looking to ignore.

          Another 75mm figure from Colour Party Paints. I just liked his old school look.

Rob sent me a spare wizard and I thought he was too good not to command my new archers.
So all I have left to paint, are two Amazonian maids on pegasus and a unit of Tauran heavy cavalry. Yes Ive gone over board again, but the project was a pleasure to paint and collect so it served its purpose.

  2. Splendid old school fantasy force! Surely you're due a unit of Gendarmes?
