Another Recruit

Another recruit to the rebel cause! The pieces for this one come from the Stargrave Scavengers 2 box, with the head possibly being from the Crew 2 set. I chopped down the gun a bit to look more like Star Wars blaster size.

Revenge of the Sith

I was digging through the bits box the other day, and I found a plastic Oathmark arm holding a standard with the head clipped off. I thought, I wonder if I can turn this into a lightsaber? I rounded off the top and used a bit of greenstuff to add a handguard and pommel. I then attached it to an Oathmark human infantry body, used the head from the Stargrave: Scavengers box, and an arm from the Frostgrave: Wizards box... Sith Lord! 

Part of a Rebel Alliance

My attempt to make a Star Wars rebel trooper from the Stargrave: Mercenaries box set. I think the key is colour choice and a slightly worn, rag-tag appearance. 

Dol Amroth Captain

 

It's been awhile since I added anything to my Dol Amroth forces. Recently a friend sent me a Guards of Traitor's Toll sprue. It's a really nice sprue, filled with interesting bits, but what most caught my eye was one of the bodies. I thought it would make a great captain for Dol Amroth. I gave him a head from another sprue and a nice round shield, and then painted him to match the swordsmen. Looks like he fits right in!

Call Sign: Wyvern

This is my new Paladin Captain for Stargrave, rules for which can be found in Stargrave: Bold Endeavour. Really, I was just having fun mixing some Frostgrave and Stargrave pieces together and using a cool dragon decal! 

Up To No Good

Every miniatures collection needs some goblins. These are from Reaper Miniatures, all clipped off their integral bases and remounted onto GW ones. The fireplace and cauldron is from another Reaper set. The fireplace looked really plain, so I painted random runes on it. The goblins are a combination of speed paints (mostly for the skin) and more traditional painting. They are great little figs.

I've used these goblins in a couple of games of HeroQuest with my son; however, he keeps talking about how cut they are, so I'm not sure they are achieving the desired result!

Citadel Miniatures Mail Order Form, March 1987

Not long ago, I ordered an old game and discovered this completely unrelated flyer in the box. It was just too much fun not to share. I'd have been 10 when this was originally sent.
