Here are pictures of this “totally-not-the-witch-king on totally-not-a-fell-beast” miniature which Gavin told yesterday he had never seen any before:

The mini being refered MS6, I wonder what are the other monsters (MS) in this vintage PA collection ?

Maybe some MMP expert can tell us more about this ? Please Gentlemen, put history on it.

Very kind of you to share this, Milo!
And very interesting to see this piece.
Just make my mind up about finding this “edition” a bit better than the mithril-edition . . . .

I have a poster pic of what you mention as MS6 which is actually UN6 and is on the big PA poster with OR16

the name is UN6 : “wraith-lord on flying reptile”
[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/2_or16_-_orc-rider_on_giant_lizard_and_wraith-lord_on_flying_reptile.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/2_or16_-_orc-rider_on_giant_lizard_and_wraith-lord_on_flying_reptile.jpg[/imgz]

MS2 is a werewolf
MS3 is a leprechaun ( I have it)
MS6 is UN6 too… (as Undead 6)

[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/2_ms2_-_werewolf.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/2_ms2_-_werewolf.jpg[/imgz]
[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/2_ms3_-_leprechaun.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/2_ms3_-_leprechaun.jpg[/imgz]

and this UN6 is a reference I am still looking for…

Thanks a lot MAster Gildor for these precious infos.

Then , I must to glue again the flying reptile at correct place and take new pictures ! 😆

Still, look on the picture with the base, it is clearly written MS6 ….not UN6 I guess this is again a mistake from the company.

I can see many nice pictures here, but I simply do not like those figures….

most of the “friends & foes” are NOT sculpted by Chris, but by former PA sculptors…. some if not all of CH “characters” from PA are sculpted by Chris in his early years as a sculptor… they aren ot looking good but are anthologies… and could be used later… by the man… for some releases

strangely there are a FEW of those figurines which look really nice but they are very few…. still, the painting on them does a lot to make them look good I assure you

what i’d be interested in is to find out who the other sculptors were — there are a number of figures in the pa range that i like quite a bit.

I could ask Chris about this maybe… though at the moment Chris is the only PA sculptor I think… though the Warforge series from PA (the elves) were Chris style I am said they were not sculpted by Chris… or I misunderstood it

There was another sculptor name in the Mithril warbands too, besides Chris. Could be the same?

I updated my database and included four new references from friends and foes…
[mith]DE1[/mith] [mith]DE2[/mith] [mith]DE3[/mith] [mith]DE4[/mith]

I should soon add MS1 MS2 MS3 MS4 MS5

I checked and saw there are 7 UNdead reference, of which the UN6 is missing and should be the MS6 flying wraith-lord… so I suppose despite what’s written below the base, the reference should have been UN6

there are also GT1,2(giants) DR1,2 (dragons) VL1,2,3,4(village folk) OR1-16 (orcs, with some holes) FG1-13 (cavalry, with holes) GB1-7 (goblins, with holes) and some others…

I got word from Chris that there has never been any other sculptor for Prince August Fantasy series except himself.
they hired another guy back in time for :
1) some Napoleonic figurines back in 1990
2) the details of orcs and gondorians for MW336 and MW337
3) the furniture of the Prancing Pony set

and that’s all, all other releases from P.A and Mithril are from Chris… well, so he says…
