Hello, todays post is a bit of a photo dump of 40+ miniatures
I have painted for use in D&D and other rpgs during our Tuesday night
sessions over the last couple of years, lots of the miniatures are classic Oldhammer
while others are from the classic licensed ranges, some are 3d prints that have
been given to me as gifts, Mantic games and those marmite D&D Nolzur's Marvelous
miniatures (hate them!!!).
First up a 1985 Citadel Miniatures AD&D (TSR) medium level ADD3 Cleric with Mace (human male), this miniature is a perfect fit for my D&D Human
Cleric character ‘Allutt, Cleric of Malavos, hero of Phandalin, speaker of the
truth’. I put the description of my cleric’s appearance out on twitter (when it
was good) and ask my followers to recommend a miniature and this one came up, the
miniature wasn’t the easiest to source and in the end, I got one minus the
mace, a bit of fixing was involved where I sourced more AD&D clerics and
hacked the mace off the higher level cleric and pinned it on.

Following on we have a 1985 Citadel Miniatures AD&D
(TSR) high level ADD6 Paladin (human male), this is a really crazy miniature to
paint, glamorous full plate, a very detailed cloak maybe depicting his deity’s religious symbol. (I think he is proficient in
quilting 😃)

I also painted a selection of miniatures as gifts to give my
friends to use as their characters.
‘Grungi’ , a Dwarf Artisan, the miniature is 3d print, I ordered off eBay, it
was a tough miniature to source when the requirements were a fully enclosed
plate armoured dwarf with an ‘Ironman’ vibe.

‘Four’, a D&D Nolzur's Marvelous miniatures Warforged Rogue Assassin (some sort of warbot), I
cut up a d4 to add to this miniatures base to represent is name which was kinda
funny when he died and come back as ‘three’.

‘Solbek’, a Tortle Mage, a lovely miniature from Iron Gate
scenery (https://irongatescenery.co.uk/product-category/miniatures/)
the quality of this print or mould is first class and the price point is
superb.

A Fairy Barbarian!!, this is a ‘Nolzur's Marvelous
miniatures’ halflings conversion where I swapped the head of the hammer from
one miniature for the battle axe head from the other and then cut up a blister
pack to make fairy wings, stuck it on a flying base and jobs was a good ‘un.

are a pretty bad experience but they are cheap and quick (when tasked by the DM
to painted presupplied miniatures)

moulded.

The next miniatures were chance discoveries that were punted
at me by the Amazon algorithm, at £15 or less these were a no brainer, the
quality is pretty decent and the plastic is quite durable. The boxsets make excellent filler miniatures
for encounters.
