Something New but quite old.

So after reading the thread on DakkaDakka about Ral Partha Miniatures, I remembered I had a few of them. From the 1992 Dungeon & Dragons Dragon Quest Game.



So yeah I have the stereotypical Heroes I guess. So I decided I would take a brake from army painting and such and do some models just for the fun of painting them. So without further ado here are the miniatures before I painted them.



They aren't that bad, nicely detailed for models that are older than I am. They have got lots of little bits of detail and some nice character to them too. (They were copyrighted back in 1985!). And seeing as they are all unique races/units means that I can experiment and play about with painting them how I see fit. Without worrying about them matching as they are all unique heroes too!


The first part of them was basing and picking colours for each one. I did this from both image found on the character cards and from ideals from how such races are described in various old books. They require a lot more work from this point!



The band has begun to take shape by this point and soon they will be complete.

The completed Heros!



:) Enjoy (:

So a New wargaming blog by me...

Hello I'm Terran. And this is my blog of Doom.

So I am now a member of DakkaDakka Forums. And as such I am going to start doing a proper painting, modelling blog. I will at some point bring about a Games blog too. And actually make some battle reports.

Maybe this will help me to actually maintain momentum too!

So Model wise you can expect to see the following (when I can get a decent light set up! Hopefully by this weekend) For 40k:
Space Marines of my home-brew chapter The Void Knights.
Sisters of the Brazen Thorn
Grey Knights
Various Inquisitors and their lackys
Imperial Guard of the 112th Cadian sector veterans (war-torn, regimentless  vagabonds) The 112th War-Mongrels
And anything else that I take a fancy to painting too!

For Fantasy:
Empire
Maybe Dwarfs
And filthy ratmen too...

For LotR:
Gondor
Mordor
And some Other bits

For other games:
Imperial Battle Fleet
And Maybe a British WWII force and Romans.

At least that is the plan!
