Thanks! The champion and the musician of the second incarnation are on their way and will be painted to match these models. They're not the originals but at least it adds a lot more diversity to the unit :)

That is a wonderful paint job, I especially like the way the cloaks have turned out and I like the idea of the green shields - fantastic concept. They far better than what I achieved a few months back.

Does anyone have a picture of the original Bugman's champion? I don't recall there being a champion in the set you have just painted; just Bugman, standard and horn blower with 9 or 10 identical troops with each in the box set.

I posted this link to a blog post I did on these guys to the thread looking for the musician and champion, but hopefully it's worth repeating.

As you can see from the picture of the RR box, the champion wasn't in the set. It contained seven troopers and the command set of officer, musician and standard bearer

I thought I had the champion figure, but after checking the peg-legged drawfs I do have, he wasn't among them  :(

All (well, most of) the RoR were sold with 8 troopers and 1 command figure. To get a full command, you had to buy 3 boxes. When Warhammer 2nd edition was released, each regiment received a boost in the shape of a champion. That's the reason why all the pre-slotta sets also have a slotta champion.

The later RoR where boxed in full sets - ie you got a full command + a bunch of troopers. None of the pre-slotta RoR made it to that stage, they were either re-done or discontinued. The only champion model carrying over to the full slotta base RoR was Mengil Manhide's champion. It's the same for both pre-slotta and the first slotta sets.

Thanks for the info and picture Phreedh - I don't remember that champion mini. I daresay it goes for several dozen quid on EBay if it ever sees the light of day. I bought my three sets in the early format of 1 command and 8 or so troops per box. I also got a couple of boxes of Harboth's Black Mountain Boys but missed out on Mengil Manhide, the goblins (can't remember their commander's name) and I think there was an ogre set in the RoR range. I got the Goblin warband, the White Dwarf characters and also the Broo - all figures in these boxes were individuals rather than identical. Sorry about the verbal there, got carried away in my excitement.

Thanks for the welcome too.  :)

Look great!  I forgot that they also had great axes.  I thought they had crossbows.  Its been 20 odd years since I've seen them in person...

They do have crossbows, they're tucked on their right side (for us left) and partially hidden under the cloaks. The quivers are hidden there too 8)

A little update to the rangers, I received the champion and the musician from the second set (dated 1985) to paint up for this unit. Of course I had to make the paint scheme fit in and so I did. Enjoy!








These are lovely models s well and I hope they will ease the pain of missing the original musician and champion 8)

watched it a while now, very nice minis, your little fellows!

I like the red-nose-colour from the champ! Comes out really good!

Thanks! They all have the red colour on their nose and the command group has it on their cheeks as well, the champion has the biggest nose though so it's more apparent 8)
