couldn't resist also adding some B&W pictures, there's a bit of a Seventh Seal vibe with this miniature ...

Fanpro's DSA range is close to Metal Magic in style (& also contains lots of excellent Werner Klocke sculpts). These classics are still in production at Ral Partha Europe
Here's 15021 Male Cleric of Boron

More Undead; this time Heartbreaker Earthdawn pack 339
Cadaver & Ghoul (3rd miniature in the blister is a little uninspiring, hence still unpainted status)
(2 Metal Magic miniatures make an appearance in 3rd pic)

Some comparisons of Otherworld (1 or 2 in the middle) with:
1 Wargames Factory & Mantic
2 Roy Eastland (now North Star) & Marauder
3 classic plastic skeletons
4 Heartbreaker (Phil Lewis), Grenadier (Bob Naismith) & Metal Magic (Joesf Ochmann)

I'll put some comparison pictures up. They are more slender and taller, basically more anatomically correct + less cartoony

Really like these Otherworld skeletons too!

Great sculpts by Paul Muller & reminiscent of Harryhausen skeletons +my fond memories of Saturday morning TV

Iove how his zombies always look even more seriously messed up, like walking (admittedly not very appetising) hamburger meat.

olihot27 @olihot27alt.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, they are. Very cool, thanks for sharing the pictures
I think that in addition to some skeletons I have one of the Iron Claw Zombies somewhere. Cheers

olihot27 @olihot27alt.bsky.social · 4d

Yes, it's very nicely done, nice accessories, interesting magic staff + the details on the robes are very nice too

olihot27 @olihot27alt.bsky.social · 4d

Finished another I've had for many, many years:
"C1012g Liche"
(sculpted by Michael Immig or Josef Ochmann, available at Midlam as Liche Lord)
Shown with other Metal Magic skeletons

An older Metal Magic miniature Frankenstein's Monster
I found this one partly painted in a box & finally, finally finished it (many years later).
Fun old school sculpt begging to be shown in B&W

Many thanks!
Yes, I like those too - I have a few of his Iron Claw skeletons & have been meaning to get some from Essex at some point. Cheers

olihot27 @olihot27alt.bsky.social · 4d

Many thanks indeed! More Undead to come soon, incl. a funny old Metal Magic Frankenstein's Monster. Cheers

olihot27 @olihot27alt.bsky.social · 4d

Thanks a lot! Have another two Metal Magic miniatures + some other Undead almost ready for varnishing tomorrow. Cheers

olihot27 @olihot27alt.bsky.social · 4d

Many thanks! Loved doing these. Have got some more skeletons in a similar style ordered + a bunch of other Undead miniatures on the painting table (new paintjobs and also some more restored "Vaultdwellers"). Cheers

Rebased another older paint job, really snazzy armour & a cursed magic sword with a sickly glow:

Potential reinforcement or just another casualty marker?
