Grenadier AD&D Charging Warrior

 This mini in the middle  must have come from the bits

bin at my local game store 4 years ago.  I finally got around to painting him up.  He now joins the other Grenadier AD&D brave souls!!!

I spent a lot of time trying to get a clean look on the different sections of this guy. These old Grenadier minis are hard to get right.

Here is another group shor of my AD&D minis from Grenadier. There are some adventurers, hirelings, and fighters!!

Norien, Female Magic User

 This is Norien. She came out of my Grenadier AD&D boxed set called adventuring party. I do not know what she is holding so I painted it in non metallic metal Silver.

I assume she is casting a spell here.

She had a really old coat of primer from the 80s on her. I tried painting over it and that was a mistake. I should have stripped all the old primer off and then painted her. Her face was really tough for me to paint oh, and I actually had to do it twice to get it to where I liked it. 

Anyways, it is fun to try and make these old Grenadier Miniatures look good. It's also nice to get the lead pile smaller.

Reaper Bones Bugs

 Below are a couple of Bones miniatures that have been painted for several years but never posted.  I love painting monsters...and weird ones even more.  The first one is  an Ankheg, a kind of large burrowing bug you hope to never find in your garden...

Farmers and gardeners in all fantasy worlds fear these creatures the most...

This next one is a Charnel Grub...which I assume is kind of a baby carrion crawler?   Nature's dungeon cleaners I say.

Ral Partha Gremlin

 Here is another Ral Partha mini from the collection. Thus little guy is a gremlin, and I painted him up to look like one of the gremlins in the movie.

Ral Partha Chaotic War Dragon and Rider

 

I don't think this miniature was ever shown here, even though it is was painted 4 or so years ago.  I recently dusted it off using a soft brush to make it presentable.

I found this mini in a bits bin at a local game shop years ago...what a great find.

Two Reaper Bones Barrow Rats and my Metal Mini Display Case

 I finished another Bones Barrow Rat a few weeks ago to complete the set.  He's staring right at you.

These things are sinister looking and the size of a large dog.  I think they could take down an adventurer easily.

Also....the display case for metal miniatures is getting full...

Reaper Bones Eye Beast

 This miniature has been broken and lost for five years. The mouth came apart from the head and I could not find the two pieces until recently when I actually cleaned the bedroom. 

My son originally painted it in a purple and orange configuration so I kept that style, and with his permission repainted it.

There are a lot of variations of this model out there on the internet. You will find a lot of different color schemes and people have done some really cool stuff with it.
