Title: working my way through my old lead - suddenly Slambo!
Post by: Mammoth miniatures on September 30, 2020, 11:10:39 PM: Back when i worked at dark sphere I used to buy up all the old ral partha/citadel lead minis that people would trade in for store credit. This has given me quite a substantial collection of classic minis, And I figured it's about time I slap some paint on them.

The first mini of this project is this ral partha priest/cleric mini. still avaliable, I painted over the previous owners metallic enamel paintjob with something a bit more blue oyster cult.

I'll be picking a mini at random every few days.

Looking forwards to seeing how this thread develops.

I wanted to give him a sort of retro look, but keep him in line with my other minis, So he has a toxic green base, funky checkered armour, and more grime than an O2 academy set-list.

Cheers for the kind words about the cleric, I'm looking at some citadel warriors of law minis from my box of lead to paint up next -
Anyway, back to lead!

Indeed it is!
I would not even be able to see the detail that you have put into that figure without the blown up pictures.
Stunning!

Puts mine to shame.....
