Sweet job! I like this mini, I've been meaning to get one to use in WHFB. My only problem is that he looks too clean and bright for a zombie pirate!

I'm not sure the FFF was designed for the purpose you have in mind. It's more for when you're in the market for, to use your example, a female anti-paladin. Then with the FFF you can get an indication of the various types of mini reaper produces. If you want to search for a specific mini (like when you know the name or number of the fig) I'd recommend doing a search in the asylum online store, at least that's what I've done before.

I'm a big fan of epic, although I've never used the Epic: Armageddeon rules - I have the Epic 40,000 rulebooks and they're just fine by me. I guess I'm less interested in 40k as a result; most of my money seems to be going on Epic stuff (second hand) and Warmachine. Now and then GW breaks out a new model for 40k that I like, but mostly I just stick with what I've got. I've already sold off a huge part of my 40k collection that I just wasn't using.

I'm putting in another vote for the adventurer multi-pack. Maybe a dwarf, wizard, elf and barbarian?
*cough*(heroquest)*cough*
Also, how about some command groups for the grunts? Stick 20 of them in a box set with a command group and you might just swipe some of GW's business too!
Also also, to continue with my first request, some fimirs; I always thought they looked cool, and I'd love to get more. Even something slightly fimirish (fimiresque, fimiry? Bah, I dunno).
-
That's one hell of an improvement! I particularly like the face on this one, it looks dangerous - femme fatale indeed! Tartan looks good too; I haven't been bold enough to try it yet, but I think I'll give it a go. Any tips?

A half-orc rasta-warrior; kinda like the predator, only fantasy.
Also I'd like to see some dungeon furniture, like the Heroquest stuff but in metal.
And some vicious-looking goblins on equally vicious wolves. GW's plastic box is lame.

Thought I'd throw my bit in here (everyone else and their dog seems to be). I like to paint; even if I'm not a pro, it's a fun way to relax and show off a bit. The problem I have, living in a relatively small town is that there just isn't a "gaming scene" to speak of. I proudly flaunt my geekiness in front of all my friends and coworkers, and many of them see a game like Warhammer or Warmachine and say "whoa, that's awesome... but I couldn't paint that". Just the other day I came into work with my brand new Gorthor the Beastlord I had bought earlier that day, and my friend said "y'know, that looks pretty cool. *&^% painting it though".
I guess I'm kind of rambling here. But the point is, I would love to be able to tell these people that they can buy Reaper Legendary Encounters PPMs and start to play some fun games - after all, that's what it's about for me. And I can always give them pointers on painting up metal characters and the like in between games.
Okay, moment over. Sorry to inflict that upon the world.

I have the first 2nd Ed Avatar from 40k. I think it would work well for Epic.

WOW! That's exactly the sort of thing I want! Where can I get one, and how much?
-
Nice ratsie! I like the worn and dirty armour, very fitting. The eyepatch seems to blend into his fur though; maybe it's just the shot but it could probably stand to be a lighter shade of brown. All in all, great job!
-
I've getting back into Epic in a big way lately, perhaps foolishly so as nobody else I know plays. But I'm sure I can persuade a few people to play.
What I'd really like though is an Avatar for my Eldar army, but the current Epic: Armageddon version looks kinda boring to me, not to mention obscenely expensive to obtain. So - any ideas on a substitute? Ideally something about 25mm, so it looks nice and impressive!
-
That's made from Hexagon terrain pieces, yes?
-
This guy is too cool! I want one to go in my Middenheimer warband for Mordheim. Your paint job is beautiful and clean, but it just seems to me like the skintones could do with a bit more highlighting to help define those slabs of muscle and that square jaw. I particularly like the metallics though, and the woodgrain is lovely!
-
First of all, thanks for all the feedback.
smokingwreckage: Yeah, I had a look on boardgamegeek but it didn't have alot of info. Also, I respect the opinions of this forum's members.
SaintRigger: DAMN! I already bought it, and it cost me about three times that much!
Ah well, all in the name of gaming I suppose...robertsjf: I haven't played any version of warzone.
But, ironically, the first mini I ever bought was a warzone one. Go figure. I guess I'll know what it's like soon, the game'll be arriving tomorrow most likely. -
Yup, it looks like it is based on Warzone. Comes with some plastic figs. If you don't mind, how much did you snag it for?
-
That's a fantastic mini! I particularly like the smooth skin and hair. I've been wanting to paint her for the last month or so, but I keep thinking "one more practise mini first!". Anywho, I hope mine turns out half as good as yours.

Hi everyone!
I was poking around online and saw this game "Blood Berets" for sale. I like collecting various wargames, and I wondered if anyone here had a story to share to help me decide if I should shell out my hard earned(?) cash on this one. Played it? Know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who saw it in a shop once?
I look forward to your comments.
Dai-Mongar!

I saw a pic of a DDM skeletal legionnaire from the war drums set, and I thought "that's really cool, a rank and file skeleton warrior who hasn't been buried stark naked, what a pity it's prepainted plastic." How about some similar style skellies in metal, maybe a multi-pack?
-
Actually, I have played and own the D&D board game as well, don't know why I didn't think of it before
. It was a good bit of fun, I was playing it with some mates at uni (probably should have been studying instead ) and it does play very much like heroquest. Plus the expansion packs shouldn't be too hard to find either, unlike the elusive heroquest expansions. Either way, I hope you find a good game. -
You could have a look for a copy of Hero Quest, it's simple, fast and great fun for an evening. Plus because of the game's simplicity it's not hard to make your own quests and special rules. There may well be something more modern out there, but I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

Very nice. The jewels are great, as others have said, but I really like the skin tone. Just one small nitpick tho - maybe add a bit of grey to the end of the cigar? With just the brown, it looks a bit like he's munching a chocolate bar... or worse.

Hi everyone,
I'm a big fan of Reaper, but nowhere in my home town stocks that Reapery goodness I crave. Anybody know someone in NZ who stocks Reaper product? I know one place in Dunedin but that's it.

Yeargh! She's giving the evil eye!
I get the feeling that she's going to put that woodwind somewhere uncomfortable... 
In all seriousness, it looks wonderful. You're kitbashing is phenomenal, but I'm glad to see more 25mm stuff of yours lately.
