Rus Warriors, Dacians, Squats, Animals, and Rebased WWI Germans

Hello Distinguished Visitor, 

I've managed to finish a few miniatures.  First up are eleven Gripping Beast Rus warriors.  I hope to use them for Lion Rampant.





This one looks a little bit like a slim warlike Santa Claus.



Running away.  I've only now noticed I forgot to glue shields on most of them.


Here's some more Gripping Beast Rus.  Notice the weird eyes on the bald guys!  I think the Gripping Beast minis might match up with Old Glory Rus. 



A few members of my Warlord Games Dacian Leadership suite.


How much do you think these stupid horns weighed?


Some old Rogue Trader era Squat models.


Identical sculpts with different heads.


Two dogs of unknown manufacture and a giant rat.


The black dog paint job is very uninspired and will be repainted someday when all my other lead is repainted, unless I'm dead.



Some used WWI Old Glory Germans I bought already painted.  I only rebased them on US nickels.


 Second batch.  I love these sculpts and wish to paint some.  I just renewed my Old Glory membership so I may get some.


Till next time, when I hope to have a game report, some Dacians, some Rus and I have no clue what.

Love and Kisses,
Baconfat

  1. Another excellent group of figures, James. I do like those Dacian leaders. Using Nickels for bases - well, I guess it may be somewhat cost effective depending on what your normally would use for bases :)

    1. Dean,
      Nickels are nice bases, but not magnetic. I buy washers by the 100, at Home depot, but they are 8 cents a piece. The 3 cents saving may not be worth it.

  4. Very nicely painted as always. I'm a great fan of dogs chasing rats.

  5. A great mix of stuff - especially like the squats makes me want to look out my old collection of the little blighters and see how rough they look.
