discussion Help finding fantasy type scale models.

[Guest]

Hi, I don't know where else to ask this so I am hoping its ok if I ask here. I am trying to change up my repertoire of builds and had an idea to do some fantasy scale model builds. Something like; dragons, orcs, elves, knights, that type of thing. I have done a few google searches for that and come up with figurine knights and orcs. But no actual scale models that I can build. Can anyone out there point me in the right direction to something like this? Winter is coming and need something to do indoors soon . Thank you.

Games Workshop famously have quite the range. Their stuff can be quite expensive, and usually white-metal rather than plastic which can be a different skillset. However the new Citadel Finecast range are plastic and look quite good. Their Sci-Fi stuff has always been more popular, so they've got more of those than classic fantasy, but there are some nice looking figures.

Fantasy models

If you have the time enter "warhammer"into E-Bay. There are pages of figures, not only Games Workshop, but Reaper Miniatures, Forgeworld, and various others. You could also try links from websites such as Bell of Lost Souls [bOLS], Dakkadakka, and Coolminiornot. You are also likely to get information on new models and painting tips.

Have a look also for Moebius models, they do vinyl and styrene kits of marvel superheros and the like, I have an Iron Man in the pile to do at some point, not cheap kits but the one I have is very well cast.
