I really love that Whale and the giant and bat are also pretty impressive. IS the moon boat a scratch build? It is very good. I have not yet played Command and Colors.

Hi; the whale is a conversion from plastic toys; legs of a dinosaur stitched onto the whale body (which is how it is described in the Gloranthan texts about Delecti, the warped mage who made it). The moonboat is a simple conversion from a galley.

One of the nice things about Glorantha is the imaginative ideas in the source material; lots of inspiration for modelling! Cheers, Simon

I loved this game and I'm interested in your C&C fantasy ideas too. I'd love to do a Troll army. I'm such a butterfly it's pathetic. :)

Hi Trev, I've always wanted a Runequest troll army, a la Trollpack. Never seen quite the right minis though...

There's a particular look to the heads of Gloranthan trolls which sadly is not reflected in any of the bigger 28mm ranges.

Re other trolls, I saw a really nice army of Westwind Ice trolls, once.

For my next unit, I'd love to do some Gloranthan rhino riders. I have the rhinos and the riders, just not the time to paint them. :-(

Probably the best RQ Troll proxy I've found is the
Reven Bull orcs from Reaper. They look quite close to the illustrations in Haunted Ruins. They'd still need some conversion of weapons but it's a start. Some of them have seperate heads too, so if you had the skill you could make new resin heads that better matched the Trollpak pictures.

Hi Trev, yes headswaps might work. I've got quite a lot of the old Citadel RQ Trolls that could be used for smaller trolls. Also some C series Orcs that look quite trollish. One day... one day.

I really fancy doing Prax. A couple of years ago I partially made some High-llama greens that would be fun to finish off, and to get cast.

Cheers, Simon
