Hordes of the Things - Big 'uns

My attention seems to have quickly shifted from straight historical DBA armies of French and English for the 100 Years War. That's still going to happen... but I do have so many immediately useable fantastical elements that, for the most part just required rebasing! A few needed painting of re-painting. 

Assorted Big'uns!

Not that these are all going to end up in a single army. They'll likely be doled out into various assorted armies or standby as options to add to one or the other.

Some of them are old, OLD miniatures that were sold as part of 25mm lines in the 1980s... and they never felt like they scaled right. Using them with 10mm miniatures they seem a little more imposing and terrifying... as they SHOULD! 

I do have a few more... but some I need to finish painting. 

I THINK this is a Reaper Miniatures Dragon...? Maybe...? I might have been mean to be a young dragon...

This one, and the other dragon below are newly painted.  

But I think it looks suitably imposing using it as a 10mm miniature! 

I have no idea who made this one. I think my mom found it at a thrift store in a bag full of similar plastic dragons. She'd bought them for the kids to play with when they were younger. The dragons were all white. unpainted plastic and the wings were separate and had to be pushed in, but kept falling out. I glued them in. There are three others, but two of the are missing a wing... the third one doesn't HAVE wings... but has three heads! 

I went with pink, probably taking a little inspriation from the dragon character in the Shrek movies...

Like the green one... it looks far more threatening next to 10mm miniatures... 

Okay, maybe less threatening next to 10mm Conan... but... generally speaking! 

These are assorted monsters of the Cthulhu mythos! The figures are from a boxes set of such things produced by Grenadier Models in the 80s or 90s. I bought the box at that time and these are the original paint jobs I did back then! 

I'm not sure I ever used any of these in a game... as 25mm miniatures they seemed WAY TOO SMALL for the creatures they're supposed to be representing! Perhaps they'll finally see action as Behemoths in a Hordes of the Things army!? 

I have two giants I am currently painting and a third that's been rebased (and I simply forgot to include with these!)
