This is Hugg'e Brrr, a Trachodon mage from Dragon Pass.
In Glorantha the different types of dinosaur have different qualities. The Trachodons, in particular, are highly magical, so this is, surprisingly, a HoTT Magician element. Hugg'e was thrown together one night whilst I was watching Starsky and Hutch, hence his unusual name and pimp chic. The miniature is a lightly converted Copplestone dinosaur.

Sir Ethilrist
In the Dragon Pass Game, the dapper and puissant Sir Ethilrist is the leader of the fabled Black Horse Troop, and once looted Hell. My model has him riding the legendary Hell Hound that he brought back with him.
This model was very easy to make; my mate Ian found a prepainted Hell Hound, that needed a minimum of work, and Sir Ethilrist is a nice old GW knight from the bits box. Needs a pennant.
When I get back to Gloranthan gaming, I'll need to model the black horse troop. These guys ride on demonic (vaguely draconic) steeds, has to be a suitable model out there, somewhere...

First of the Carthaginians
This is the first of 4 units of Carthaginian levy infantry for the Zama Project. These boys, along with the Thureophoroi, will form the 1.6m long Carthaginian second line.
These were generously painted by Greg Privat, and retouched (after unfortunately experiencing a good kicking during the crossing) and based by me .
As an experiment I didn't paint the eyes in on this unit. I'd welcome opinions as to whether they would be better with eyes very lightly dotted in, similar to the Numidians, below.
Werewolves; Gloranthan style
This unit represents the Telmori tribe of Dragon Pass, bursting from concealment in a forest (the picture is clickable). There are a full tribe of these, and they are invariably allied to Sartar. Each Telmori is twinned with a wolf brother, and many Telmori are cursed with the ability to magically transform themselves into wolves. The magic of the Telmori, like that of the Lunars, is cyclical and they are at their strongest during the full moon. They only use stone weapons.
The big wolves are lovely old Grenadier critters, and the Telmori themselves mostly Black Tree or Foundry Picts. The fully-transformed Temlori is an old TSR Ravenloft mini.
I'm really proud of this unit; I am ashamed to say they've only been on the table once, at Salute in '06, and this is the first time I've got around to photographing them.

Storm Walkers
These are sky-clad flying Runepriests and WindLords of Orlanth, and a Sylph, from my Gloranthan armies.
Foundry minis, and a lovely old Citadel elemental. Click for tattoos!
Looking at these, I find myself thinking how good they would look as a larger unit. Much of my Glorantha stuff was done as single elements for HoTT, but these days I like units with bigger footprints and may return to expand them at some stage.

Very Very Heavy Cavalry
Dinosaurs ridden by Dragonewts
Triceratops family
Brontosaur with Sartarite crewman
These are a few shots of some of the dinosaurs from my Gloranthan Collection, which last saw action at Salute in 2006 with Greg's Dwarf Mine terrain. The top two are Schleich, many of whose dinosaurs are very convertable to 28mm gaming (see also my Triceratops on the Glorantha thread).
I keep finding old models I forget I even made; perhaps the War of the Ring rules will help me to get them onto the table, soon...

Newer Numidians
Here is the latest unit of my burgeoning Numidian army. This is one of two projected units of Numidian "Auxilia"; troops in a slightly denser formation than the previous light infantry.
14 of the 18 minis were painted by Greg and retouched by me, I painted the other four. The minis are a mixture of Foundry, A&A and Crusader (the eagle-eyed will spot that a couple of Foundry Spartans and Greeks have crept in; the Greeks were nekkid so I gave them greenstuff robes).
I've now finished 68 of the 200-ish Numidian/Carthaginian foot. I'm managing about 30 a week, so there must be at least another month's retouching/basing to go...
