Ars Mortis: They Might Be Giants

Fe Fie Fo Fum... Honestly, what would a fantasy army be without a few giants stomping around? Giants are present in just about every human mythology. Of course, I have so many that at this point I could simply field an entire brigade of giants. Something I'd like to do some day. But generally, they're loaned out as assets to other armies.

Giant Grim Reaper Lord - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1001. I had a few giants from Grenadier and Ral Partha hanging around, but GRC gave me a whole line to play with. Unfortunately, this first sculpt from GRC is pretty bad. It's the standard grim reaper w/scythe and pointing - but it's sculpting is pretty poor. Basically it's a big hunk of metal. It would later be resculpted into the much nicer Grim Reaper Lord #1055.

Huge Undead Warrior - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1014. GRC is still trying to get its sculpting legs on this one. But a serviceable, average giant.

Reaper, The Collector - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1036. Another grim reaper pose. I like the hourglass.

Undead Giant with Swords - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1046

Huge Undead Buccaneer - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1054. Kind of a specialty piece. He's usually loaned out to my undead pirate horde.

Grim Reaper Lord - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1055. The much nicer resculpt of the original Grim Reaper Lord.

Undead Giant with 2X Sword - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1118

Krom, The Mummy Lord - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1153. Meh. He's no Thog...

Fallen Undead Giant - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1051. Also a kind of specialty piece. I always presumed I'd use him as a giant casualty marker.

Undead Giant w/Axe - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1175. Don't mess with him or his battle axe.

Thog, The Mummy Lord - Grenadier Fantasy Lords #512. Kind of lame. Kind of classic.

Lord of Death - Grenadier Fantasy Lords #25. A lot of giants have this grim reaper theme.

Death Giant - Grenadier Fantasy Lords #150. Very nice sculpt by John Dennett.

Undead Giant - Mirliton UD50. Redo of an old Grenadier Fantasy Warriors line miniature. It looks like he ripped the arm of a dragon and beat him with it!

Bone Giant - GW Tomb Kings. Yep. $57 for this.

Liche Lord - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1015. All right! Magic users for the giant brigade. He must be a U. of Texas fan because he's throwing the "Hook 'em Horns" sign.

Liche Giant - Grenadier Fantasy Lords 500 Series #534. This one is actually pretty rare. He only showed up in a Grenadier catalog update and then vanished. A good grab from ebay.

Giant Liche Lord - Grenadier Fantasy Lords #001. The Mack Daddy of giant undead mages.

Classic Nagash - Games Workshop. This cartoonish sculpt by Gary Morley has the distinction of being pretty much the worst miniature sculpt in history. Surely not fitting of Nagash the Supreme Lord of the Undead.

Nagash the Supreme Lord of the Undead - Games Workshop. Now this is more like it. Plastic, but today's plastic miniatures are far superior to the metal of old.

Human in a Can - Mythic Articulations. Giant sized articulable human skeleton.

Skeletal Giant - Ral Partha 11-496. Very detailed sculpt with a non grim reaper scythe wielding giant.

Skeletal Titan - Ral Partha 02-424. Giant skeleton hoplite. Pretty much a permanent asset in my ancient Greek army.

Giant Skeleton - Ral Partha 02-940. A venerable classic. Came with choice of mace or sword!

Grim Reaper and Tombstone - Reaper SKU1414 by Bob Olley. A really nicely detailed 72mm set. But I've never like Olley's sculpting.

Giant Skeleton - Reaper #02742 by Jason Wiebe

Colossal Skeleton - Reaper #02911 by Jason Wiebe

Undead Cylcops - Grim Reaper Casting Nasteez #1018 by Jim Bove. Loaned out as an asset to my ancient Greek brigade.

Undead Giant Cyclops - Grenadier Fantasy Lords #11. Classic giant figure also loaned out to the ancient Greek Brigade.

Skeletal Cyclops Giant - Iron Wind Metals DF-744. Originally part of the Ral Partha Lords of the Dead boxed set, later selected out as an individual piece by Iron Wind.

Skeletal Cyclops - Wizkids Savage Encounters #33. Meh.

Grim Reaper - Grenadier Colossal Lords #3303. More than a giant... a TITAN. In Piquet terms this is a six slot monster (instead of the regular four I use for giants normally)
