Sphinxes, Demons and Cyclops

Carrying on with the Mirliton order I've started on the demons plus a Cyclops and a couple of sphinxes.

At least, started a couple of sphinxes. One no problem, other one had 2 left wings...

Demons are an interesting crowd, first couple completed others getting there.

The Cyclops took a few minutes to complete - virtually all drybrushed. Actually, both the sphinx and Red Demon were mainly drybrushed as well.

Verdict on the figures so far? Excellent, virtually no flash, nice detail, easy to paint. I like them - could be another order going to Italy at some stage, lots more in the Range I'd like to have. My photos and painting simply don't do them justice.

RAFM Wizards and Clerics

Well, this is the third posting of the day - but seemed more logical than putting everything in one.

I've continued to find more of my old 1990s RAFM figures, some of which will give me some useful command/wizard/cleric stands. One, of course, was the 'Khitai' stand:

These three are probably not on their final bases. The Pharoah type is from the Call of Cthulhu Range set 2937, Cultists.  The others are from the Wanders and Warriors sets, the one with the skull from set 3808, the staff bearer set 3801.

These will be kept together as a group. the monk/cleric at the front is from set 3804. I haven't identified where the two behind him come from - can't find them in the RAFM (or any other) catalogue, square bases show that they're not RAFM anyway.

Still a lot more RAFM of mine to find, plus I've sent off a birthday order that my wife Sandra can give me, also 'found' many of the Grenadier are still available - hard to find as some not in the online catalogue, others renamed/spread all over the place - so at some stage I'll be ordering some of them. I'll also probably get in a stock of some Ral Partha.

Grenadier Minatures figures

One problem is I'm finding, buying or casting lots of Chaos/Evil/Good characters, wizards, clerics, monsters, gods and demons but not many rank and file. For humans I can use available armies, but the elves, dwarves and goblins realy need to be sorted!

Admins DA21 Ogre

Continuing with putting things together, I've decided the Ninja carrying ogre previously mentioned will have to work for a living. As such, both him and the DA Range Ogre are to be based and added to an as-yet undefined Chaos/Evil army.

An eclectic mix of 90s Fantasy figures

There were a couple of periods when I dabbled in arcane areas such as D&D, most of these figures are from that era. Sadly, the figures are a bit the worse for wear and neglected...

A Fantasy Personality Julie Guthrie Enchantress number 854 from Grenadier and  RAFM armoured fighter  from Wanderers and Warriors set 3809. The enchantress looks a lot better than the photo suggests... I wish I had a lot more Julie Guthrie figure, they're really quite nice figures.

These are actually from the 70s - Lamming figures from my first sojourn into D&D. The warrior has a bow so mail rather than plate, 2 handed sword so no shield and a hand ax.

Early homecast from Prince August moulds.  It took a lot of attempts to get a few decent casts!

I have no idea who these pack mules are by...

Nor do I know who made the dire wolves...

Or the dwarves - though the one with the ax may be Irregular. I have a couple of Irregular dwarves mounted on mules or donkeys somewhere, just not sure where.

More Admins - WS Range

This time, the Admins WS Range of very useful dungeon creatures - which are all usefully on one mould.
