2018 Pogre's Miniatures and Models - A BIG finish to the year with The Wizard's Tower!

My previous miniatures thread is about 15 years old with lots of broken links and lost pictures, so I thought I would start a new one.

First up, a trio of Reaper Bones Fire Giants:










2018 Miniatures Count: 3

I've got the second giant in metal and he is heavy enough that in a case with a bit off movement he snapped his plastic base in half. I don't really like Bones but for giants and big figs its great.

I've got piles of D&D, Reaper, & Warhammer Fantasy figs to paint but since getting into Bolt Action I will be surprised if I touch any of that for months. Trying to paint 27 28mm American Infantry by Tuesday. If I manage it its going to be a feat of amazing proportions for me since I'm a very slow painter.

I agree with you about Bones. I'm currently cranking out some more Vikings for a game I'm running at Winter War Convention towards the end of the month. Maybe in a couple of weeks I'll post something above table top quality.

but since getting into Bolt Action

What scale are you using? I have a ton of Flames of War figures I got in an auction I will never paint.

BA is 28mm scale. Though you can play it with others. You looking to sell those Flames of War figs? That is another game the Wargame group I found plays. I have a platoon of US bazooka figs for that system but haven't finished them up.

A great blog about the hobby:

I have no association with this blog/site, but it provides great information from beginner to advanced.

Anyone know where there are good instruction videos on painting miniatures?

Some good ones over at tutofig. Many are in French or Polish, but there are a lot of good ones in English.

Some quality videos at Massive Voodoo.

Check out this thread at coolminiornot.

Good luck!

I finished up 4 Vikings. These miniatures are from Saxon Miniatures, which was recently purchased by Warlord Games.

Nice work!

I'll have to check into those Vikings. Saga is another game my group pays and those would work well in it.
