More pulp action!

I've been in the mood to paint up pulp characters lately, and the latest is another Copplestone creation. This fig is another one from Mark Copplestone's fantastic line of miniatures. A great fig for any pulp skirmish game or rpg.

Copplestone archeologist

One of my favorite sculpters is Mark Copplestone. I love just about everything that he does. His figures are expressive, dynamic, and full of character. This one is an homage to the Brendan Fraser character from the movie The Mummy. I've had it nearly finished for years now, and finally completed the base (a recurring theme going on here...). I just love the fig - totally awesome!

15mm Fantasy: Blue Moon Alien vs. Copplestone Northman

I thought folks might what to see a scale comparison of the Blue Moon Tawanax aliens next to one of the Copplestone Northman models.

Anyway, here they are, battling it out in some temple scenery!



And here's a shot of the latest warrior I painted next to his fellows:

15mm Fantasy: A Gothic Guest Star

Blue Moon offers an awesome 15mm/18mm Horror line. Exceptionally sculpted by Bob Naismith and Chris Hughes, many of them will work very well for 15mm fantasy games, and today's post shows that idea off.










There's a much larger Werewolf from this pack that I intend to paint up to add to this one. As I develop SoloSystem, I'll want the option to include multiples of the same type of monster in a given scenario.

15mm Fantasy: Part III

Managed to finish another Copplestone Northman--this time one with sword and shield. This guy also has a lovely wolf-skin cloak. Check him out:









These guys practically paint themselves, a credit to Mr. Copplestone's exceptional skills.

Tomorrow I will feature a Blue Moon 15mm Gothic Horror Werewolf miniature (also painted this morning), showing that you can take figures from different periods and use them in 15mm fantasy. He'll be pictured doing battle with today's featured mini.

15mm Fantasy: Part II

Another modest addition for today--the first figure from the Northmen pack from Copplestone's 15mm Fantasy range.









And a slightly better look at the scorpion, who is proving harder to photograph than Sasquatch!

15mm Fantasy: Part I

After spending all of last week painting 10 ships for Dreadfleet I needed a break. A palette cleanser if you will.

I've had three packs of Mark Copplestone's brilliant 15mm Fantasy figures sitting on my desk since just after Labor Day, and I decided it was high time to dig into them. Today's post represents a modest beginning. One figure and something for him to "play" with.

You see, the great thing about 15mm fantasy is the wide swath of monsters it opens up. A mere irritation to a 28mm hero becomes a behemoth to a 15mm champion. So I dipped into my D&D mini collection and did a quick re-paint on a medium scorpion. Instant menace!







And here he is facing off against the "giant" scorpion:







More characters and monsters later this week!
