No. 59 Maze City Gallows and Hanging Man

Slightly intimidated to be posting in this thread given the quality on display, but here goes...!

A macabre mini from an old Acropolis miniatures line. Pre-dates my entry into the hobby so no nostalgia here, just liked the figure - for use as scenery in skirmish or D&D games.

I haven't managed to date the original figure release (probably late '80s?), though this is a recent casting from the Baggage Train. I believe the tabs listed the sculptor as Paul Henni, but I cut them off a while ago so I could be misremembering.

Paul Henni was the man!

Gloomy as heck!

For some unknown reason I have never acquired any pieces like that, although I love the mood they are bringing to a table setting.

The great thing about the Henni hanged man is that there's a walking-corpse version to go with him!

No. 60 - orc from the Citadel D&D boxed set:

Lovely pink tones around the nose and mouth

A beautiful vintage orc.

Cheers

Great colours on those classic orcs. The shade of green just seems to work well for those figures. The pinkish snout is excellent.

Thanks, both!

Oddly enough, I didn't use any green on the skin. It's Citadel's Averland Sunset (yellow), shaded with sepia and highlighted in Vallejo's silver-grey (equivalent to Wytch Elf Flesh). I did use a dark-blue wash around the eyes, which lends a greenish tinge.

Interesting, I assumed it was an olive green with a yellow highlight. I like it.

#61 Ral Partha Earth Elemental

Last of the Elementals. This time a Ral Partha Earth Elemental '95 again I believe.

Something different for tomorrow. One of my favourite GW sculpts and I'd guess a fan of many others. Still available although probably in Finecast now. Characterful and has stood the test of time. Any guesses what it could be.

That's a lovely elemental!

No but he is actually on my painting table half finished (for about a year now).

Slaanesh Chaos warrior

I started out collecting stuff like this. First miniature painted in a long time.

Elk101 · « **Reply #267 on:** October 04, 2018, 04:57:43 PM »

I really like that, very nicely done.

Argonor · « **Reply #268 on:** October 04, 2018, 10:54:41 PM »

Splendid additions!

#63: Fiend Factory goblin

A very old one, this fellow, and pretty crude. It's amazing to see how quickly the Perrys improved when you look at the Night Goblin range of a year or two later. But this guy has a certain charm, I think.
