Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

No, it was Jim Corless (former TimeMachine).

Brillant!

Fantastic looking minis!

You are full of inspiration Master Fabrice.... keep on...

Good evening
Phaerton design was created by Chris many years ago but is on pause for 8 years now

http://phaeton.faerylands.eu/

I can tell that there are many excellent figures among them. - The "name" of many figures (or sets) are intentionally put somehow unprecise as Chris Tubb did not want to have any trouble with "certain licenses" also Mithril had to agree to( and still has to, I think.). Many of the Phaeton Design figures are based on Tolkien's work. Christopher Tolkien was very strict with licenses. So Chris simply avoided trouble.
I'm really glad to have all of those figures. I do really like the figures referring to Shakespeare's "Tempest". Wonderful. I intend to use a Miranda-figure for a Goldberry (contemplating at a river) in a small diorama. I think that would be better than the one released by Mithril.
Well, to be honest I'm really not convinced at all that the "PhaetonDesign"-project will ever be revived or even extended.
Unfortunately.

Hi Fabrice... this is part of the e-mail Chris sent me two weeks ago

.... " I will let you know as soon as the website is up and running.I have also started to revamp some of the original Phaeton series digitally so am pleased that you say there is still some interest in this".

So I do not know which one oft he figures from his old web site he will produce again, but we will know it soon...

Have a good day...

Hello Mithril Nautes!

Gerold offers us some splendid projects with these warbands. An idea came to me, maybe already mentioned by yourself on MMP ?
The creation of a chess game with the Mithril range !

There are so many possible combinations ! I await your proposals, pawns, riders, queens, kings ... surprise me, make me dream and I commit to painting a piece of the most astonishing set where, even better, we can all together constitute a virtual set composed of photos of the figurines already painted ?
What do you think ?

WIP   

If you want to join me on Chess.com, ask for Aptek1990. Right now I'm playing and losing.

Interesting !

Here is my first draft, with characters only chosen from the "Lord of the Rings" who will represent the white camps.
Will come later, that of the blacks, The Mordor...
M 298 King Elessar and Queen Arwen (of course).
For the madmen, Gandalf M 52 and Radagast M 84.
There are several versions of Gandalf but this one remains my favorite. This is the first outing, the one that indelibly permeated my retinas.
The riders, those of Rohan, M260, King Théoden and M 262 Eomer.
The towers, an eagle and an ent and not just any ! Meneldor (M 304) and Fangorn (M185).
For the pawns, I did not wish to expose the Hobbits and the rest of The Company, so I threw my evolutions on soldiers.
Gondorians, Rohirims, Elves. Lancers, archers, swordsmen.
Here they are: M7; M 14; M 68; M 197; M 213 ; M 214 ; M 263 and M 386.
Now that I'm ready, I can hire ! E2-E4!
It's up to you, gentlemen !

I feel an elf Lord is missing in the strong ones. Lady Galadriel M1 instead of Radagast who is more the Hobbit related?
What about Tom Bombadil?😇

With DeepL Traduction :
Cornelian choice for Tom Bombadil, I thought about it of course. For Galadriel M 1, I assume. I plan to use it for another chessboard.
Better traduction.
Thank to my son
