An Unexpected Fantasy Detour
I also painted this figure. It is a Vulture Legion rider that I sculpted for Eureka Miniatures a few years back for their Michael Moorcock’s Hawkmoon range. I don’t think this figure has ever been released and, as far as I know, this is the only one that has ever been painted.
As you can see what started as a little army has grown to a pretty decent size with plenty of weird and unusual models. They come from a variety of manufacturers which, I’m sure you’ll recognize. The largest contingents come from Eureka – That’s all of the fauns/satyrs, centaurs, sprites as well as some of the other weird critters.
Below are the Firvulag. If you’ve ever read The Many Coloured Land by Julian May, you’ll have heard of these folk. In fact, it was after reading the series again that prompted my to start making this army. The sword sprites at the front are from Eureka as are some of the figures mixed in with the Northstar goblins. The big blue moon faced ogress and the big head guy on the barrel are also from Eureka.
These are the main infantry and cavalry elements. Faun spears, clubbers and skirmisher archers. Centaur spears and archers. The ogre below is a Reaper Bones figure.
The dryads are pretty recognisable from GW. In my opinion these are some of GW’s best figures. They look truly nasty and formidable. I painted them up in a cherry blossom paint scheme (see below for an older photo). The treeman; I made him myself when I was operation my own miniatures company. I was casting him in resin but I still had the original pieces in a box so I decided to put him together when I started this army.
These are my generals. Thefigure in the center is called King of the Forest (I think) and is Reaper Bones. The fairy… I don’t know. I had the figure for years before painting it. The goat headed champion is Reaper Bones. The faun with the big horns is Eureka.
Another shot of the Furvulag regiment. After taking these pics I realised that I left some of them in their box (it’s a shame but I’m not going take any more pics for now).
And here’s a few older photos to show some of the detail of some of the figures:
