20 odd years worth of minis :)

[Silverblade The Ench]

Sigh, just remembered, after several years, I had an ENworld account ('cause name got truncated...lol)
Anyway...one day it was nice and sunny here in Scotland (obviously it was BEFORE Summer, lol!), and I took piccies of nearly all the minies I've painted in the last 20 odd years, and put 'em up on me site.
Piccies of some of them

Got the shield paint scheme idea off a Ral Partha catalogue, I think?

they were about the best I was able to model, me being a noob
neded 'em for my spelljammer games, and they were fun to make

That's quite a collection. You've obviously painted it with great care.

Some of those old miniatures are quite awesome too.

Cool stuff!

Thanks for sharing. I have a lot of those minis - but not being a painter most have remained unpainted all these years unless I can get a friend to do one or two. . .

Nice to see them completed, and I like that some look like they have seen a good deal of use. . .

Nice collection

I'm gonna have to try and track down some of those old elf axemen figures (that you have put in the 'fighters' section)... even if I already do own my own bodyweight in unpainted metal

Kris,
They were "HIgh Elf Axeman" or such, from Grenadier, iirc, and lol, yes, I too have far too many unpainted minis

El-Remmenr,
ah the wear is one reason I started getting the WOTC pre-painted plastic ones. Sucks HUGE to see damage on minis you'll probably never get round to re-painting, and that have good paint jobs

Gold ROger,
Later minsi were mostly much better crafted, but the old ones had charm too...*well remembers gazing longingly at a fire giant mini by Grenadier, in a box, every time he went into RPG shop, but never got*
