While at Origins a few weeks ago, I was at the Iron Wind Metals Booth where they had several boxes of assorted figures that they were selling by the ounce. I was looking through the boxes, when I spotted a couple of these Giant figures. I really liked how they were bent over and looking down as if hitting something very small, and I immediately thought how great they would look with my current 10mm fantasy armies project. I'm building 10mm fantasy armies for use in playtesting our upcoming "Look, Sarge, No Charts: Fantasy, Ancients, and Medieval" rules. So, I purchased two of the Giants and finally got to paint them last week.

A unit of 10mm Games Workshop High Elves finds itself facing off against the new Giants. |
I'm really pleased with how they turned out, and next to the 10mm figures you really get a sense of them being 'giant'. The Giant figures are available on the Iron Wind Metals website, sold under the name "Giant with Mace".

I did a little bending of their mace arms to give them slightly different poses from each other. |

The Giant sculpts have alot of detail, and are easy to paint up fast. |
