Yeah, Croc, Bane and Harley are GCC. I've also use the GCC Ra's Al Ghul for DCU, but forgot to stick him in one of the group shots.
(Mister Miracle is also a repaint of The Vision, because damn KM and their repack boxes with only one nee model in!  )

Lovely work there. Particularly impressed by the group shots of the JL and Bat-family.

Finally caught up on your blog, and you've been busy! DC stuff looks great, but I really wanted to comment on your Witch-King of Angmar on his Fell Beast. You really nailed that one, with giving different tones of gray on the beast and its evil rider, plus the flaming sword looks good too! I myself recently picked up the Pelennor Fields box as I'm hoping to jump start Middle Earth in my local area, so maybe I can see how I do on that model sometime soon.

Progress continues! Only a couple of minis today, but rather unique ones. First up, monster slayer, gruff man and subject of possibly the most irritating song in a TV show ever, Geralt of Rivia. The model is by Brother Vinni (I bought it via Etsy, but I believe you can also get them on ebay or via his own store), and it's superb, a lovely clean resin cast that captures a great likeness of the titular Witcher as he appears in the third game, The Wild Hunt. Little on the spindly side, especially the sword, but no worse than some of KM's DC minis. Went for some more accentuated colours and a lot of texture work in the paintjob, makes him a bit more interesting than the brown/black leathers he usually wears while still honouring the look of the game. And on a similar theme, Video Game Dad Of The Year 2018 and all round angry fella, Kratos, based on his appearance in the (frankly stunning) God of War reboot from a couple of years ago.Having murdered all the gods of Greece, Kratos tries to settle down in a more norse setting, only to find that basically, ancient gods are dicks wherever you go. Cue much axe throwing, head stomping and the genuinely moving story of a single father learning to deal with loss and family. The mini is actually one I designed myself using Heroforge, before purchasing the STL file and having it 3d printed in resin in the UK. Much faster, much cheaper and much better quality than ordering from them direct, so if anyone wants a link to the printer I'll happily pass it along. Pretty pleased with it overall, it's not a 100% perfect replica of the character but easily recognisable, I think. That's all for now, more Witcher coming soon and who knows what else? Ta for stopping by, any thoughts welcome!

Both absolutely glorious, but Kratos edges it for me. And yeah, shoot me a pm about your Heroforge shenanigans...

Witcher looks better than the tv character  . I watched the episodes so far, reminds me of how I enjoyed Hercules, Xena and other shows when I was younger. Unfortunately those shows are hard to watch now.
Never played God of War, but he looks very much like the commercials I’ve seen. Well done.

Cheers, folks.
@Theo, I keep going backwards and forwards on whether I actually enjoyed the show, it was technically really well done and a few of the episodes I loved, but a couple I found really dull. I do like Cavill as Geralt though,and I do think I'll get on better with the show's next season, now it's all come together. It is indeed charmingly old-school at times, I agree.
While I'm here, anyone know anything about cameras? I'm looking to upgrade my current one with a budget of around £4-500, so if anyone has any recommendations in that sort of price range I'm all ears. Mainly interested in ease of use and image quality rather than all the bells and whistles.

What the Witcher needs is a cross over with Joxser (spelling? Xena’s comic relief guy)

Nice to see a mini that you have designed yourself, both characters look great. I especially like the warpaint on Kratos.
On the previous page all of the superheroes/ villains look amazing, especially striking in the group shot with the various primary colours on show.

Kratos looks great, and a really fun use of Heroforge. Thanks for sharing!
