'Old Citadel Nostalgia' - an ongoing project.

Cubs:
Okay, I've actually put it down now, so I kind of have to do it.

I've had this idea in the back of my mind for ages to grab some of the old Runequest models I played with as a kid (they all belonged to my brother) and paint them up.

First up is the unaligned adventurer from the Runequest Adventurers #2 boxed set, but I've painted him up as Daka Fal, with a spirit rune on his shield. This guy is one of my all time favourites - just such a classic, simple pose but one that is still full of dynamism. He sums up the aesthetic joys of Oldhammer collecting to me - a bit of wistful sentimentality that reminds me of my childhood, combined with wonderful sculpting (but awful casting by today's standards).






 

Hobgoblin:
Brilliant! Superb paintwork on a terrific miniature (I have him somewhere, but with his legs long detached from his ankles, I fear...). The weathering on the shield is fantastic.

There's a real magic about those old Perry sculpts. I love the fact that the adventurer actually looks like an adventurer, complete with baggage and gear. This thread could be just the inspiration I need to set to work on my long-neglected stockpile of broo.

Cubs:
That's a good plan - I haven't got the Broo sets and in all fairness, lovely as they are, I just can't afford the emotional or financial outlay to start collecting them now.

LeadAsbestos:
Watching intently! My own RQ project has just started (again!) and this will be some fine inspiration. Great painting!
The Broo are still some of my favorite minis of all time, but the Trolls... Not so much! ::)

Cubs:
I really like the trolls, it's just a pity that they're not proper Runequest trolls with dog faces.
