Claymore Castings

A few days ago I decided against my better judgment to order some more minies, I have plenty and don't need more minies.
I decided to checkout the Claymore Castings range of Medieval minies, not that I have any project for them, I just wanted the Archers, but anyhow.

Today I got them...

8 well casted miniatures whit little or  no casting flesh, high quality and great details. The only disappointment was the fact that I only ordered 8 of them, 16 would have been better. Well that Can be fixed can it not...

Still don know what to use them for but 16 is better then 8 and 8 is better than none.

Pics and updates will follow.

Some new orders... Gripping Beasts and Claymore Castings gets a chance.

Just did some new orders from Gripping Beasts and from Claymore Castings.
Was planing to go Bretton in the next saga project but they was a bit to much like the Normans I painted earlier so I decided to go all foot, just to get a completely different warband all together.

I also wanted to try out the Claymore Castings minies just because I lite them, I have no project for them but I'm a sucker for bowmen and, longbows, so Ill just paint them and see where to go with them.
Claymore is fairly new on the market so it will be fun to see what they can do, hoping for the best.
Their website is neat and far of better then many other and they take PayPal, that is a big plus for me.

All is quite in the painting station

Not much has been happening in my paint station since my completion of the Normans for SAGA.
A few minies has left the production line, but they was a shoot in the dart, not fitting in any project what so ever. So what are the plans, Japps or Muslims, both for SAGA.
Was  bidding on some  Dixon 28 mm Nipps the other day on EBAY but I lost the auction, but the buyer paid close to retail prices for the minies in the end. Glad I didn't win.
My Ebay auctions has not bee so successful as I hoped for, most stuff is unsold.

So what to do mean while then?
Well I do have some Wood Elfs needing some attention before Ebay, but do I even want to bother with painting them. Well its something to do.
 

The SAGA Continues, Bretons in the making

Bretons in the making, decided to go at bit more in to detail on this project, so each minie will be individually painted and a bit more time and effort will be put into the project.
Also I decided to go Black Tree Design in this project and not Gripping Beast. The GB minies have been great and is super fine, but the BTD , they have some other poses and the detailing is a bit different. And further more they don't mix in projects.

Missing on the 2 first minies is the shields on both, first model has i swung upon to the back and the second i holding it by hand in front of him. I only have kite shields but I'm planing to go round shields on these.

Some stuff on Ebay
