Warlock by Max Mini

Another Max Mini purchased at the same time as the Goblin Hunter. Another very nice miniature. Very little flash that is easily removed with a craft knife. Again a well designed model that looks easy to paint with plenty of depth and details. I plan on using this as a Generic Evil Overlord for the bad guys in the future!
 Nicely sculpted with great character
 Skull on the scabbard is a nice touch
 Horns might be a bit fragile in heavy game play
Head and arms plug in easily to the body

Goblin Hunter by Max Mini


Late last year I came across this Limited Edition Goblin Hunter figure produced by Max Mini in Poland. One look and I just had to have this! Shipping was pretty fast and I was not disappointed. Model is very cleanly cast with only very small amounts of flash on small portions of the side I had to try to find and a little on the torch. Detail is amazing! Tons of character and good animation. Sculpted with plenty of relief it should take paint extremely well. This is cast in resin so though the crossbow may be somewhat prone to breakage it's not going to break in a stiff breeze.

Very nice detailing on the top of his  hat

Arms with Torch and Crossbow seem to fit fairly well but might need some crease filling

High Elf Army

I was talking the other day with a friend of mine about a large Warhammer army for sale on Ebay. I commented that I had a High Elf army that would rival its size. It is really a  shame that the decision was made to discontinue many of these models and most of these pictured here are now out of print. My friend said I should get some pics of it. So John, this post is for you! 
 Here's the group shot. OK, I don't remember having 4 Battalion Box sets! Thought I only had 3.
 A good deal of this was bought when GW announced they were going to discontinue many of the models. GW was good enough to produce enough to fill the last second requests using the generic white boxes.

 I have 3 of these sets as well.
