Here's some progress I've made in my Greyhawk in 15mm. Sorry for the blurry pictures but I just wanted to get some quick images. By the way, the Bannerman is a Rebel Minis Barbarian Bannerman with a bit of procreate sculpted on to create the flag.
I recently started a new project. After letting my Hyborian stuff fall by the wayside I started another daunting task, creating the armies of Greyhawk.
I decided to start off with The Horned Society. I just find them mysterious and interesting. This particular miniature is supposed to be Plar Rostal the cavalry leader of The Horned Society. There's no description of him that I can find so I'll have to use my imagination. I figured if Warduke is a Heirarch of The Horned Society then maybe Plar Rostal would also have similar arms and armor.
The main body is a Museum Miniatures English Mounted Man at Arms and I just did a head swap with a Black Hat (Gladiator) Renaissance Italian swordsman. I added some Pro Create for the cape, fur lining and horns. I'm pretty happy with the results and we'll see how well it paints up.
I absolutely love the skirmish wargame Mordheim. It's one of the most inventive games that Games Workshop has put out. One of it's biggest weaknesses is the setting. I'm not overly fond of the Warhammer Fantasy world, it just doesn't work for me. There are way too many people worshiping Chaos and becoming mutants, and everyone has oversized weapons and armor. But the rules themselves are pretty good.
I'd like to run a game in a more D&D setting and I think I might use Highport in Greyhawk based on the A series modules. I think it would be perfect, a once great city overrun with orcs, goblins, gnolls, hobgoblins, etc. And the adventurers must explore the depths of the ruins to extract the hostages and recover lost treasure. I think it would be a great game with very little conversion, I just need to start making scenery and amassing models. I suppose I could make up my own setting as well, it would be fun either way.
If anyone has any better setting ideas in Greyhawk, Mystara or Faerun I'm all ears.
