Good work, and very nice army. Is it sculpted by Lovejoy?

Tell us a little about the army, did it have special features? is it a punch army in your ruleset or is it a "guerrilla" type becaus it has skirmishers?

In the second pic, I can see some troll size best-kin, did they have 10-12mm sieze?

again, great work!

I am intrigued by your ruleset, can you lend it to me to read it? I am afraid I will not be able to playtest it but if you do not mine it will be great to take a look on it.

Thanks stormwind.

@jchaos, yeah i believe the majority of microworld games fantasy armies are sculpted by lovejoy.

The army is a standard army in my ruleset, the skirmishers are a core troop choice along with the warriors. I have another formation of warriors coming, drilled beastkin, chariots, giantaur(like ogre cows), and minotaurs and minoatur clanguard. There's just about some of everything to be able to pick what type of army you'd like to play with.

The troll sized one's are actually minotaurs. Measuring them they are around 11mm foot to the eye so it could work either 10-12mm.

I'll send you my ruleset just shoot me your email, if you take a look and see something interesting just shoot me a message and let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Blind-

Gorgeous - very nice. It really does look like Warhammer on a smaller scale.
Good sourcing of figures and excellent painting and basing.

You didn't go overboard on the basing either!  Looks nice and subtle.
