Hats off to both Copplestone Castings and Ral Partha Europe - ordered the miniatures on Wednesday, arrived Friday. Also in the post this morning was the Wargames Illustrated subscribers’ special King John, he’s a bit chunky and there’s some nasty flash on the horse, but hey free miniature.

The Frisky Penguins are nice. But after reading what the penguins at Bremerhaven Zoo have been up to I’m keeping a close eye on them. (via Class Worrier)

Here are some more dinosaur miniatures, two that are waiting to be painted and one that’s finished. The hunter figure in each is from the Foundry 28mm Darkest Africa range.

From left to right we have Baryonyx (DZ Miniatures), Iguanodon (DZ Miniatures) and Tyrannosaurus imperator (HLBSCo). Only the last of these is currently available from the manufacturer.
