In this Gloranthan HoTT element, Fazzur Wideread, the veteran Lunar general, is remonstrating with his superior, Euglyptus the Fat, during the Battle of Building Wall. Due to Euglyptus' incompetance the Lunars went on to be soundly defeated; I rather regret not adding the barrel of eels in which Fazzur subsequently drowned him!
I am pleased with the Euglyptus conversion, which is from a GW 40K scribe. Some figures I actually painted myself, for once! Not something you see every day.

Baboon Troop
This is one of my old Gloranthan units, the Baboon Troop. They are one of the smaller tribes that roam the plaines of Prax.
It is composed of the old Citadel 25mm baboons. I'd really like to redo it sometime, with the newer, larger Lance and Laser baboons...

Jar-eel the Razoress
Jar-eel the Razoress is the principle super-hero of the Lunar Empire, and incarnation of the Red Goddess.
Another Gloranthan mini from around 5 years ago, this is a Hordes of the Things "Hero" stand. Although the painting is not the best, I'm really pleased with the composition of this piece. Jar-eel was built up on a dolly.

Oldie but a Goldie
Over the next few days, I'm going to post a few shots of miniatures from my pre-ancients obsession; Glorantha. These were some of the first 28mm minis I painted, around 6 years ago, and depict battle mages of the Lunar Empire, summoning Lunes (madness elememtals). Essentially Gloranthan artillery. If this inspires you with nostalgia for Runequest, have a look at Greg Privat's site: http://gloarmy.free.fr/
The minis are Eureka cultists with an old, converted Citadel Mage. They aren't bad (I'd do better today). I used to use the ghastly Miniature Paints acrylic matt varnish, which gives the minis a slight bluish tint and leaves them a bit glossy. Unfortunate...

The Eponymous Bat
I realised on Saturday that it is exactly 5 years since I launched the Bat that gave me its tag name, and I thought it might be fun to give him an anniversary outing on the blog.
"Batty" was built (over a period of 3 months) for the Berkeley HoTT contest in 2004. He represents the feared Crimson Bat, Weapon of Mass Destruction of the Lunar Empire.
The base he flies over is 6x10 cm. To keep him upright, I cast the core of the burning cottage of solid lead; a hundred or more little lead men gave their lives to keep Batty in the air. The crewmen are mostly Ral Partha 28s. His illuminating eyes were LEDs taken from MacDonalds toys.
He doesn't get out much, but has featured in a number of games at Salute over the years...
