I'm planning to paint all the evil characters from the cover of the Warhammer Third Edition rulebook.
About 11 miniatures that will be a nice warband for Advanced Song of Blades & Heroes or Frostgrave.
Here the first two characters painted, two 1984 pre slotta C27 Chaos Goblin Mutants.
The Chaos Goblin Mutants from the cover of WHFB 3rd
I didn't know there were miniatures of the characters from that cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI have a WHFB 3rd edition rulebook and Also I didn't know that most of the characters from the cover were real miniatures.
I especially liked the Chaos Sorcerer, and I knew about the real miniature some time ago... then I did a research and found most of the miniatures.
Almost all of the miniatures are pre slotta, from the first compendium of citadel, only two miniatures (the chaos warrior and the orc with hat) have slotta bases.
This incresead my interest on citadel pre slotta miniatures, many of them are nice and could be fine with the right paint job.
Agree on that, your paintjobs give life to many miniatures that looked like lumps of lead.
ReplyDeleteGuess I never noticed these were all miniatures as I never had any catalogues with the pre-slotta stuff. You've done some great research.
ReplyDeleteI must thanks the really usefull websites of "Stuff of Legends" & "Collecting Citadel Miniatures". Without them, to find these miniatures could be much, MUCH harder. Especially for who, like me, has not the original catalogues.
