Ilyad Miniatures... wish they were still around!

I think there are several more Ilyad figures to be found in my old galleries 'o painted stuff, but this is a good start.  I always liked the product from this company, which was super detailed resin minis.  They were a slightly larger scale (32 mm?), but the casts were very solid.

The resin was very strong, there were very few bent parts, and even fewer air bubbles!  Almost none, in fact.  Loads of fantastic details, which hopefully these pictures show.  I did need a razor saw to get the minis off the square bases (I assume they used it as a de-facto gate), but they went well on my usual marble/tile bases.  The most fun I had on a base is the mosaic style base that looks like it's from Pompeii.

The giant was huge.  The base is probably 100 x 100 mm square, if not more.

Here we go!

  2. Ilyad Miniatures ceased to exist years ago, unfortunately. You might be able to find a few on ebay, but they were hard to find when they were in business.

  3. The werewolf is on a 50mm square base, so he is quite large.

  4. Hello guys, just for you to know that Ilyad figurines from the Dark Moon Chronicles are issued from the drawings of Olivier Ledroit which was the drawer on the famous cartoon serie from the same name : http://www.google.fr/search?q=chronique+de+la+lune+noire&hl=fr&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=GBkIUMW0MOfA0QW0-dnfBA&sqi=2&ved=0CFAQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=894

    Best regards from France.
