The Quest for Jhary-a-Conel

I do like the Eternal Champion books by Michael Moorcock, and I was slightly aware that Citadel once did a range of figures for them. The other week I was fortunate enough to happen across an ebay listing for a bunch of Eternal Champions and their associates - Elrik , Yrkoon, Moonglum, Erekose, Urlik, Hawkmoon and Corum.  I paid a little more than I usually would for 28mm metal, but not by much, and a lot less than most of the entries on ebay are priced at. But the one I really wanted seems to have been very much absent from ebay- Jhary a Conel. I've been trawling ebay for weeks for a sniff of this figure, and finally one has appeared- fingers crossed!

In the meantime I've been painting:

Corum and Hawkmoon were the first two off the painting table (though Hawkmoon is still waiting for his shield)

Corum Jhaelen Irsei, the Prince in the Scarlet Robe

Dorian Hawkmoon,  Duke of Koln,

Also, the Skullsmasha lejun has had some reinforcements, Boarboys from Blacktree

And finally, the Thugs are here! I managed to find 40odd of these on ebay for a fiver, and my Chaos army badly needed some archers/skirmishers. I've painted a company of 12, Chris and Rick were given 12 each as well, and the rest will probably go to the God-sprog for painting practice!
