Odds and Ends

 As I mentioned a couple of post ago I'm currently in the process of attempting to clean up the gaming room.  During that process I've discovered a large number of forgotten figures, and I actually managed to paint a few of them during my posting hiatus.

In no specific order, below are the results of that effort.  Will any of these actually ever make it to the gaming table?  Probably not, but at least they're painted now.

The below are from Games Workshop, as are many of those that follow.  This is from a box set they released way back when the Movies first came out.  Somewhere along the way I lost the bases, one shield and broke a sword - I guess that's what I get for not painting them in a timely fashion.

More figures from GW Lord of the Rings range that have been floating around for about 15 or so years.  Dwarven archers, not the preferred weapon I think of when I think Dwarf, but useful.

More GW figures, this time a collection of Familiars.  These were acquired probably close to 20 years ago, before the GW business model turned me off of Warhammer.  I do like the walking book and the scroll bearer.

The last of the GW figures, this time the 40K range.  A Chaos Space Marine of some sort.  I wouldn't be surprised if in the 5 or 6 'new' editions of the rules it isn't even a valid figure/troop type any more.  Did I mention I really hate their business model - especially if you're a slow painter.  By the time you finish painting the armor the units have all been replaced in the rules by something new.  But it seems to work for them.

Next a Reaper Miniatures (lead) Druid figure.

And a Reaper Miniatures Halfling Thief... I mean Rogue, we must be PC.

Behold!  The end of the post, a Beholder from WizKids. I could see this being used in Silver Bayonet or Stargrave games, or maybe even in D&D.

I woke up this morning to nice layer of white fluffy snow covering everything, but I hear Spring will start soon. Take care

So much lead, so little time.
