This is my favourite mini to date and it is just an awesome sculpt, the manufacturer is Ilyad Games and since painting a couple of their minis I have found that I am hooked on them, Hope you like it.

Well let me be the first to say, literally the first, that I can see why you wanted your own site to show off Non LOTR work. This is an excellent mini and the paint job is excellent.
Cheers

This is truly a stunning piece of painting, the metallics are awesome... I think it's great to see banners for once not clobbered in loads of OTT freehand, can you imagine an orc painting a banner! Ilyad are certainly on my to do list but i'll need a new shelf for them, they must be nearly 40mm scale some of them! On another noteI hope to have a digital camera soon and will be able to participate a bit more in this forum

@menace, Ilyad range from the tiny, to the huge. Desdemone is a very small female figure whilst Ghorgor Bhey is bloody enormours. But they are all wonderful models, I must warn you though that once you buy one or two you will be hooked. Now get that camera and let us see some of you amazing work.

From my experience with Ilyad minis they seem to be at about 35 mm scale generally (for a normal sized human being). That is rather large, but don't let that fool you! As Tim said, some minis are decidedly smaller and even the large ones are covered in the tiniest detail you could possibly imagine. But they're great fun to paint. I've got some started, but none finished so far. Tim, I've hopefully told you before that I think this orc is fantastic! If not, then I just did!

I'm definitely not fooled Anders! I think my little experience from Rackham says 'maybe bigger but that means more to paint right'
i am disappointed though by the availability of ilyad and as to a repuptable supplier...until then...

Starplayer is a reliable supplier, although the shipping is a bit expensive.

Thanks for the link Anders, i think it would be best to buy bulk from these guys, the post is, as you say, veldig dyrt
