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 (:

  1. I used to add Ral Partha stuff to all my Fantasy stuff, I really like what they used to do with character minis.
