I'm having a concerted drive to update my older miniatures with new-style bases so they can be used seamlessly with my newer stuff in (mostly) roleplaying games.
There's a complete gallery (so far) with details here: https://www.matakishi.net/miniatures-from-the-vault.html

What an absolutely glorious collection! Great to see those Chronicle kobolds again (they were in one of your dungeon-block tutorials, I think).

If it's any help, I think that Grenadier demon is a variant on Orcus that was released under a more generic name (perhaps because of overdone concerns about copyright?). He has slightly different horns and some modification to his nether regions.

Anyway, marvellous stuff!

Amazing collection! I am glad I took the time to follow your link to your gallery. I hope you decide to repurpose that Mantis Warrior base somehow, too clever to lose it.

I threw it away. I can make it again though, I have more hex pieces in a box.

Very nice. I recognise many of those figures from years gone by.

Ha! They're great!

(On the demon: yours is 039 - Demon - a later conversion of the earlier Orcus. I've always wondered why they bothered with such a slight adjustment, but I think it must have been worries about a litigious TSR - perhaps the combination of the classical name and the portly goat-demon look).

Those kobolds are my particular favourite, lovely figures.

Great stuff, really nice.
I do have to ask (and please don't take this the wrong way as I love your blog and have followed loads of your tutorials) but why the fuck would you want to save those 2 green things in the middle!
What the hell are they?

Love the kobolds, I have some in a box somewhere

Actually, they are scary rock burrowers from Garrison miniatures and they are an integral part of the history of our wonderful hobby.

They are a bit crap aren't they? But, they have charm and I like them, so they get to stay

Ok fair enough. Still can't help feeling that tying them on a fishing line might be a better use for them
