I can easily get you the contemporary heroes shown in my first two photos but the fantasy versions are well nigh impossible to get.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-7421826471630897312016-08-23T23:12:44.687+01:002016-08-23T23:12:44.687+01:00I like converting figures, Roger, which was just a...I like converting figures, Roger, which was just as well in this instance. A lot of work went into converting Matt, Gilly and Igor. Incredibly, Dork Tower has been running since 1997. It is something of an acquired taste but I love it. Many thanks for the kind words.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-39806254839934635962016-08-23T20:22:18.878+01:002016-08-23T20:22:18.878+01:00I A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y adore these minis.... oh G...I A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E-L-Y adore these minis.... oh GOD I do I do.

They are similar to Chibi characters but they are not true Chibi characters, as they lack the huge eyes you find on proper Chibis.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-30550936999991002092016-08-22T20:26:42.402+01:002016-08-22T20:26:42.402+01:00I like 'em Bryan.

I'm not a fan of GW, Chaos armies in general or Nurgle in particular, but I do love your posts, simply because your enthusiasm for something you so obviously love is very much in evidence.

I certainly agree that they have the "Marmite" factor about them, but I love them and they just appeal to my sense of fun. yes, converting and painting them was very much a labour of love.

Which is no bad thing I assure you. They're not admittedly my cup of tea for "Zombicide", which is why I've always steered clear of such minis. But that certainly doesn't take anything away from how impressively characterful (and colourful) I think your paint-jobs are on them. Clearly a labour of love, and there's definitely a hint of Chibi about a few of them.<br /><br />I think the group shot probably shows these toony figures off best, and lets one appreciate their different sizes and sculpts. Terrific posting of a subject which whilst not my cup of tea, still entertained me enormously - and that is surely the true test of an article ;-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.com
