Title: Does anyone know this Miniature?
Post by: Theatralic on 09 October 2012, 02:27:09 AM
Hi Folks,

This is probably a longshot but I just saw this mini on a Thread at Warseer and fell in love. The Guy himself doesn`t know what its called or of its still availlale, the only thing he knows that it is an old Mini from Ral Partha. Its awesome especially painted so great.

Maybe some longbeard-leadhead in here can help:

It's a DnD Genie or Efreet from Ral Partha. I believe they had to destroy the molds since it was a licensed property, only hope is the secondary market.

Dear Lord, indeed he does. I am in your debt Onebigriver  :-*

This can`t be a coincidence, Fate wants me to spent more money on miniatures  o_o

Indeed, again many thanks, I can`t wait till he is here and I can strip and never paint him like the rest of my huge Lead Pile o_o

I don`t know what about this miniature spoke so much to me, maybe its his face expression and the Laid Back pose. I hope I can bring some of that in myself. I am nowhere near that level of painting like that guy  :?.
