Anyways, I bought these yonks ago, and as part of this year's 'sortoutthebacklogabit' project, here are the first batch...
Not sure what I'll use them for though.
The Order, plus the MITD

I love those 8). Perfect for something like 'Dragon Rampant'.

The very idea of OotS minis sound pretty bad but it turns out that it somehow works.

These are brilliant!

Cool. They are the cartoons brought to 3D. What are the arms and legs made of, they look very fragile?

Bodies are resin, arms and legs are White metal, you can see how much damage Haley's arrow has already taken

Brilliant - they look spot on.

Lov MITD - it's got some good character development recently. I thought it was the Tarrasque but not I'm not sure...

Lovely minis though.

I followed it avidly up till Rich Burlews accident and then drifted off during the hiatus and never drifted back. Stopped reading all my web comics actually, got fed up with update speed!

Then I started reading OotS again last week and cleared up ten years of strips in ten days :D

You can always use them for HOTT. You'd be amazed at some of the creations folks come up with (rock armies, macaroni armies, tree armies (not Ents, just plain trees, etc.)

Six years later, I started and finished the remaining six miniatures.
Vaarsuvius, O'Chull and a second Blackwing.

Love OotS, pity Rich's condition slowed down the updates.

Might start again from beginning,  see how many he does while I'm re-rereading.

Nice but a bit too weird for me. - Not sure that as a wargamer with fantasy miniatures that's a valid statement. :)

I glet what you mean - I like OoTS as a comic, but the figures are a bit odd. 

I do think that for fantasy, we all have a range of what is acceptable, I bit back I saw some WWII tanks done in Sci Fi style multi-colour camo schemes, and it was very jarring (for no good reason)
