I've also started reviewing my collections with an eye to enforcing my rule that each must provide "a different kind of game" with all game types of interest being included. So it is that Prince Micheal has been returned to a simple skirmish game focusing on narrative as opposed to the battle game it had been turning itself into since the massive reinforcement arrived a few years ago. Excess figures will be shunted to the pool of figures that the new late medieval/fantasy 40mm game will draw upon.

Now I'm ready for battle. Stay tuned!
I have to admit that I like converting figures - possibly because it makes me feel creative without needing the ability to sculpt things from scratch!
ReplyDeleteIts pretty much where I started 50 years ago so feels natural.
DeleteVery nice pictures Ross. I admire your plan to use your different figures for different kinds of games.
ReplyDeleteIt haas been the plan for a long time but I forget sometimes and wander....
DeleteNice photos Ross - will we see Prince Valiant himself in a future scenario -or cameo photo? Cheers. KEV.
ReplyDeleteSorry Kev, the Prince has made cameo appearances now and then but I don't like to meddle with a famous character's history.
DeleteConversions look great and I think the second photo is terrific. Like a seen from a swords and sandals movie or comic. Terrific stuff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was aiming for a Classic Comics or Prince Valiant strip look.
DeleteArt is in the doing, my friend! Agree with the master re the second photo, hadn't noticed the comic like composition etc until I read the comment. Very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteFondly recall the Prince Michael narrative game reports and glad to hear that you have revalidated figs for this scheme.
ReplyDeleteSometimes having too much of a good thing leads us astray. "Now I have all these extra figures, I must find a way to include them" ..
