Miniatures pt84 – Adventurers (2)
Here’s some adventurers from the tabletop fantasy Asgard range by Alternative Armies. I really like these sculpts and how they’re armed to the teeth and carrying all their gear. I went with a bit different paints and basing than my standard fantasy, to make it feel like they’re in the dungeon (and gave the bases a grey instead of green rim).

Miniatures pt83 – Orc Horde
Got me some Alternative Armies orcs from the Hordes of Things range to try out. These are a bit smaller and less chunky than my Demonworld orcs, almost like goblins. So I went with a very pale green skin using a white base and the Army Painter Military Shader wash which gives a green tone. I went with a red tones (Karmin, Vermillion, Burnt Sienna) for their clothing and even used lots of bronze for metal parts as they have an Ancient Greece/Rome feel.

Your blog and mini painting have got me investing in 15mm scale miniatures. Do you know of any particular vendor that has decent 15mm soldiers in plate mail? Something that could pass for a knight or paladin? Struggling to find, especially in US. Thanks

I think your best best would be Khurasan miniatures, particularly their Historicals range at 13th-15th century. Just take care to read any information regarding the scale as it’s common for historicals to be “true 15mm” and there’s only a few historical ranges on the Khurasan website that are towards “heroic 15mm aka 1:100 or 18mm”.
For heroic 15mm these spring to mind: https://khurasanminiatures.tripod.com/late-fourteenth-century.html
You could also take a look at old glory 15s/20s but I haven’t tried these so I can’t say.
At true 15mm you could take a look at splintered light miniatures player character sets.LikeLike

Miniatures pt80 – Octopods
The number 80 of this series of blog posts includes … what else, Octopods! These aliens are from Alternative Armies Hordes of Future range. On hindsight I should have painted the eyes a different colour, as they’re big enough to make them stand out. I might return and touch them up with a purple colour in the future.
I think they’ll make perfect pirates or other enemies for my Five Parsecs campaign or other similar sci fi games.

Miniatures pt75 – Winged beasts
Here are three winged monsters. A Manticore and a Griffon from Alternative Armies Hordes of Things range, and a Forest Dragon from Ral Partha Europe The Dark Eye range. The last one is a 28mm range but this is a small dragon and would fit my 15mm range with no issue.
I painted the Manticore in a quite classic colour scheme. For the Griffon I went with a bald eagle inspiration for the eagle part. For the dragon I went with a Black Dragon colour scheme, by painting it mostly black and washing it with Military Shader to give it a more acid/slimy look.

Miniatures pt67 – Elf Heroes
Here are the 8 Elf Heroes from Alternative Armies Hordes of Things range, which I explained in a previous post how I had a serious case of varnish frosting. Linseed oil seems to have solved the problem. So since it’s dry, they can be used. I’ll wait a few months before proceeding with my solvent based varnish if required.

Miniatures pt63 – Rad Zombies
This is the set of a handful Rad Zombies from the Alternative Armies Loud Ninja Games range. I painted them in more conventional flesh and bone colours, so that they can double as some sort of flesh abominations in typical fantasy, and they won’t be limited at Sci-fi tables.
