Broo Patrol

These are the Broo from Mongoose. Like the ducks, they are rather small and quite finely built. Most of the other broo in my possession are bigger, more muscular, and look more dangerous. Still, these Broo are decent quality, with good variety and OK detail.

Jaldon Toothmaker

This picture really shows that I need to use some matte varnish on my figures. The skeletal horse is, I think, made by Grenadier. The rider is a conversion using the legs from a Dixon Plains Indian brave and the torso from an old Games Workshop barbarian.

Ducks

Some people have a problem with the Duck characters in Runequest: they consider them silly. I like them a lot though. I play them as slightly bitter second class citizens that often get the short end of the stick. Ducks not living among their own or in Boldhome tend to live in the poorer parts of town, several families crammed together in small houses. The entrepreneur types among them become rogue traders, thiefs, assassins, or spies. Above is brown squad, below you can see squad blue. Miniatures are by Mongoose. They are great quality, about 22 mm to the eye, and with excellent detail.

Sable Camp

The tipis were made using brass wire and fimo modeling putty. The figures around the camp are made by Dixon.

Walktapus

Here is the Lance and Laser Walktapus. L&L went out of business some time ago, and Armorcast USA has taken over the molds and is selling the L&L Glorantha range now.

Broos

For Fur and Feathers. Both are from Citadel. The lance is an headless nail.

Broos for one of my future games, codename "fur and feathers". Both are from Citadel.

Broos for one of my future games. From Citadel. I have a doubt on the middle one. Pilum from Foundry, lance is a small headless nail.

Broos

A few broos I've been working on for a future game. Those are from Citadel (the right one is a recent plastic one with a head from a plastic toy) Shield is from some historic miniatures company. Simple paint job, acrylic paint and oil wash.

Broo shaman

One of the broos I've been working on for a future game. This one is from Otherworld miniatures (sold as an orc). Simple paint job, acrylic paint and oil wash.

Bison Shaman

The shaman is from jeffvalents Deadlands: The Great Rail Wars Miniatures range and his spirit is from the Lance & Laser Warchest range.

Bison Khan

The majority of the Bison are made by West Wind (from the Cowboy Wars
range), with a couple supplied by Tabletop. The riders are converted from
figures supplied by Dixon, Tin Soldier UK and Navigator Miniatures. The Tin
Soldier UK figures are from their Sarmatian range. They are wearing scale
armour made from animal horn, which is, I think, very appropriate for Bison
Riders.

Shaker Temple Quakebeasts

These are the quakebeasts of the Earth Shakers. When they beat their tails on the ground, the earth trembles!

The riders are converted Tin Soldier Scythians (a nice and somewhat overlooked range), and the beasts themselves are from Schleich.

Jackobear

I painted this jac'obear in half an hour, for an Halloween contest. Not so bad, not so good )

Durulz

Lance and laser miniatures. Even if they are taller than most other ducks on the market, I really how wthey look like... And they're easy to paint !

Gunda the Guilty

Gunda the Gunda the Guilty is the daughter of a valkyrie who was conquered and raped by a cruel philosopher. When she was 12 she claimed by combat her first pack of wolf-pirates. She became a close friend of Harrek (the chap with the polar bear skin). IIRC her magical spear means that she absorbs the guilt of anyone she kills with it.

Lance and Laser model; Foundry viking companions. I use her as a hero, in HoTT terms. Makes mental note; need to repaint her spear!

Giant

The figures are a Grenadier Titan and an old Fantasy Tribes female warrior, produced by Citadel in the late 70's early 80's. The Fantasy Tribes figure is there to give an idea on scale, really. The Titan is to be used in my Glorantha campaign as a Lunar mercenary giant (and the regimental champion of the local Lunar bad-guys). At the moment he would be far too tough for my PCs. He has a very nice shield design already sculpted on the shield and looks about right (ie: looking down at PCs!).

Beat-Pot Aelwrin

Beatpot Aelwrin led a slave revolt against the Lunar Empire. He gained his name from his use of kitchen implements as weapons (his cauldron helmet and a cleaver which you can't unfortunately see in this photograph). He was later converted to the Lunar Way by Jar-eel the Razoress.

Conversions from Foundry miniatures. Painted by Simon Miller.

Bison Riders

The majority of the Bison are made by West Wind (From the Cowboy Wars range), with a couple supplied by Tabletop. The riders are converted from figures supplied by Dixon, Tin soldier UK and Navigator Miniatures. The Tin soldier UK figures are from their Sarmatian range. They are wearing scale armour made from animal horn, which is I think very appropriate for Bison Riders.
