I still like Foundry Miniatures (Gallery #1)

I am not sure if this is what the company is still called... or if it is Cobblestone casting or something similar.

What I do know is that they make a vast variety of historical, fantasy and sci-fi minis that tend to be very economical, and sturdy.  They are almost always one piece, or very little assembly.  The details may not be similar to the newer resin and plastic styles of casting today, but you can't beat the price, and you can find just about anything your heart desires. 

If I had more $$$ right now, I would be inclined to snag some myself!

Here is the first gallery:

Hi Tech miniature as a Grey Knight Ghost Knight

This is part of a big group of terminators I am painting.  One squad is supposed to be Ghost Knights, and this is going to represent the special character.  It was far more difficult than I thought it was going to be to paint, even though it appears to be pretty straightforward. 

I think it is due to the rather bulky nature of some of the details.  I have gotten used to the more subtle sculpts that are prevalent today :-)

Primarch Sanguinius

I thought this was a very nice sculpt that not only captured the look of the Blood Angels Primarch, but in terms of scale, it was a bit larger in scale, as a primarch should be!

More Gamezone Black Orcs

Just like the previous orcs I posted the other day, these guys are rather large.  They are on 25mm square bases.  I still think these guys would make very good Orc heroes and characters for Lord of the Rings!

Cool Mini or Not Ogryn

This figure from Cool Mini really does make a fantastic Ogryn, if you want a different pose for a big squad!

Some more older Warlock miniatures

I think some of these warlock minis almost qualify as 'classic' miniatures.  They probably have a number of years behind them :-)

Imperial Guard Vet squad with a scratch built Chimera

This is the group shot of the recently posted IG squad along with the Artillerist and Titan Tech Priest.  It puts them more in context with each other.  To this end, I have also taken some images with them alongside a scratch built Chimera *yes, I will post the WIP images of the 4 which I made!).

I made the vehicles from Sculpey, plasticard and matboard.

To the images:
