Fits, it's true that they're very different... & don't really fit in easily with other models. For me the bizarre style is kind of comforting, though. Probably partly as they have been around from my early days in the hobby in the mid 80s to now & at incredibly many different manufacturers... Cheers

Another great Metal Magic haul - all 8 miniatures in the C1026 Zombies series + a harpy from the C1012 Monsters range - (surprisingly) managed to snap these pictures before ripping the blisters open

could well be, I painted the various signs on the boards in full-on doodle mode & really can't remember what I was thinking whilst doing it
olihot27alt.bsky.social
many thanks indeed! More colourful than most of what I usually paint. Cheers

This will explain why that Metal Magic monk was blue.
He & the "jolly" monks from Foundry & 2 Tiny Tales Studio monks were painted as servants for Ilyad Games Chevalier de Justice knights (special editions; Temple du Jeu)

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
olihot27alt.bsky.social
Really like these Otherworld skeletons too!

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

Another Skeleton/Zombie warband!

12 Grenadier Fantasy Warriors by the legendary Bob Naismith. Classics; still available from Forlorn Hope or Mirliton

Part of the ongoing Undead restoration/necromancy efforts.

Iove how his zombies always look even more seriously messed up, like walking (admittedly not very appetising) hamburger meat.
olihot27alt.bsky.social
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
olihot27alt.bsky.social
Yes, it's very nicely done, nice accessories, interesting magic staff + the details on the robes are very nice too
olihot27alt.bsky.social
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
olihot27alt.bsky.social
Many thanks indeed! More Undead to come soon, incl. a funny old Metal Magic Frankenstein's Monster. Cheers
olihot27alt.bsky.social
Thanks a lot! Have another two Metal Magic miniatures + some other Undead almost ready for varnishing tomorrow. Cheers
olihot27alt.bsky.social
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
