I've got a lot of painting to do!

 
I've just had 223 28mm fantasy minis turn up!

This is the Wildspire Miniatures "Realm Reforged" not-Kickstarter that was delivered as a late Christmas present! This was originally the Blacklist Games Fantasy 2 Kickstarter, which I pledged back in 2021!! As many already know, after much bullshitting Blacklist Games finally admitted in January 2025 that they were never going to fulfil the pledges and left around 12,000 backers empty handed. Wildspire purchased the rights to the range from Blacklist, then, very generously in my opinion, offered a half-price deal to any BLG victims who were prepared to take a gamble on them. Well, in less than a year they have fulfilled their promise and delivered on time, as well as keeping up constant and informative communication.

Enough of that, water under the bridge etc, to my delight a box was delivered to my sweaty little paws by Fedex this very day!

Which contained two boxes of minis.

The much smaller reinforcements box was an optional add-on for those who wanted to up the rank-and-file foes from 4 to 5 of each to match the numbers in the BLG Fantasy 1 set.

This little box contained 28 minis and a nice little illustrated list to remind you which gribbly was which.

Let's use this to examine the arrow fodder, so here's the full cast.

Close ups of some of them, starting with the Gnoll archer, Lizardfolk warrior, Hobgoblin and Bear.

Giant snake, giant scorpion, lesser demon and wolf (a blues fan?).

Moving on to the main box, which has 4 each of all the minions, plus 1 each of the characters, bad-guy leaders and larger monsters.

Some of which are BIG, starting with a Trent and Hydra.

The Cyclops and Frost Giant, with a Gripping Beast mini for scale.

Griffon and chimera. 

The Ancient Dweller (obviously not Cthulhu).

Some medium creatures, Yeti, Owlbear, Minotaur and Manticore.

Ettin, Zombie Ogre and Djinn.

Then the man-sized leaders, Gnoll pack leader, Lich and Orc warlord.

Lizardfolk Shaman, Bandit Leader, Goblin Boss and Goblin Shaman.

I've still got all the characters to sort out, but they will have to wait for another day. I'm very pleased with the minis, they are reasonably detailed, certainly for my standard of painting! They will definitely keep me busy over the next few months.
