Things that go bunyip in the night

Well, I figured I should tie up some loose ends before launching into my new Polish venture, so I made a push to clear some of my painting backlog. First up is this guy, from the Caesar Adventurers set.

Some may call him a troll, others an ogre. Magic: the Gathering players might think of him as an Orgg or a Vizzerdrix. But I call him a bunyip, even though he bears no particular resemblance to the bunyip of Australian legend. (In an amusing coincidence, I saw a day or so back that I am not the only miniatures blogger to have painted one of these figures lately...)

Next, I based and painted up that batch of plastic wolves that I picked up over the weekend. They're rather large for lupines, so maybe they're actually direwolves or wargs or something. In any case, they'll help fill out the Orc army some day.

Finally, I finished up my last stand (for now, at least) of Mongol horse archers. (Shown here with another stand that I finished over the holidays.) As with the others, these guys are a mix of the various Mongol sets currently on the market.

And that gives me a complete army! (To be supplemented with more heavy cavalry at some point.) Next: time to begin work on my first winged hussars...
