More Odds and Ends

 Not a lot going on regarding the gaming front of late.  The foolish attempt to clean up my painting table continues.  Sadly, as I work my way through the various layers of detritus I keep getting distracted by the 'ohhh shinny' items I uncover, (shocking I know).  I almost feel like an archeologist, excavating my way through the various layers of projects and foolish ideas hidden on the table.

Of course the best way to clean the painting table is to paint what you find, so...

I seem to have discovered the Fantasy epoch in the latest excavation. So, as they were uncovered, they were rapidly splashed with various pigments, and below is the end result.  Some of these were purchased in the early to mid 1980's, and boy do they look tiny next to the 'new' stuff.

This Firebrand was found still in his blister pack and is fairly new.  The figure is from Reaper.




Another fairly new figure, also from Reaper.
The photo doesn't really do the detail of the sculpt justice.



This figure is also from Reaper, plastic this time.  I'm not normally a fan of plastic (other than for space ships and the like) but it painted easily and has fair detail.


The last of the Reaper figures, back to lead (well, pewter).


I think this is a Ral-Partha figure, probably from the mid 1980's.

Another Ral-Partha figure (I think) probably from the early 1980's.  She looks like she's about 15mm when compared to the others, so definitely same age on the figure. (and it takes a brave man to say that about a female warrior).


Another old figure, my guess is Ral-Partha, or some other carrier from the 1980's. Not really apparent in the photo, but she's a nice hot assassin. 


Another very old figure, probably from the 1980's.


I also uncovered this Satyr, from Black Tree Design.  It painted up nice and quick.

Halflings anyone?  Also from the 1980's, no idea who the manufacturer was.

While I was painting up these rediscovered treasures, I also took the opportunity to paint up some scatter terrain I had laying around (on the top layer of the painting table).


Some 3D printed items, not sure where they came from


A fountain from Black Tree Design

And finally some 3-D printed Loot markers for Stargave.


Hopefully I'll get back to the Wilhelmsland response to the most recent invasion by their neighbors soon.  And I haven't forgotten ab out the Outlandishan Tales, I'm just trying to come up with a scenario that the Earl may be able to win, without having to invest in any new figures.

Take care and enjoy the Spring,

So much lead, so little time.

  1. Some interesting clean up, obviously a bunch of adventurers to help the Earl out by recovering a shipment gold & silver from the other guy's castle?
    Curious about Wilhemsland and how far the retaliation can go.
    See you tomorrow.

  2. Thanks Joe. It will be interesting to see what Wilhelmsland does. Chancellor Klaus Blumfeld isn’t exactly known for his decisiveness.
    I guess it all depends on how persuasive the American advisors are, and if you noticed the previous post, the first advisor looks a lot like John Wayne, so expected him to recommend something 'big'.

  3. Quite a lot of treasures found in the Fantasy strata of the excavations! The Earl needs some outside support, doubtless in exchange for a "piece of the action"...

  4. Thanks Peter. They were fun to paint up.
    Sorry about the delay in response, blogger isn't notifying me about comments.
