Chaos Death Parrot

Another dive into the leadpile, a cockatrice from Bifrost Minis (via Warbases). Lovely little mini. 

 

Oldhammer Imperial Dwarf

An original Citadel Dwarf from 1986, dug up from my childhood collection, dipped for an excessive amount of time (I forgot) and repainted - ironically exactly as he was but hopefully a bit better than 13 year old me. I have a few others in progress, just waiting in some shields - the Arab teardrop shields from Gripping Beast work nicely to replace the long gone plastic shields, the dimple fits the peg with minimal trimming back and the shape makes a decent dwarven kite shield for that medieval aesthetic that was possible back then.

But, damn do they look weird alongside more realistic historicals. Big nostalgia though, so will plod on with the others as and when, will probably end up going elsewhere for dwarves for Five Leagues.

 

More Renaissance types

 Three more Renaissance types. The first two are from Antediluvian Miniatures and the last one from The Assault Group. I tried to follow the painted examples by Antediluvian and the learned chaps wear black vibe just extended to Machiavelli (if memory serves)…

An Egyptian gentleman honestly…

Another pseudo Renaissance adventurer, in the form of Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez, an Egyptian despite the accent… a 3D print from Etsy, I had to add the feather myself, it would have been too brittle in the printed resin, so after a few attempts ended up just cutting a feather shape from plasticard. Attempted to paint it as a peacock feather, got fed up and painted it green.

A Cunning Pair…

Next up from the pile… Some familiar Elizabethan types, again hopefully for Dragon Rampant, Five Leagues, Mordheim etc… minis are from The Assault Group, they come with a Percy but I don’t have much use for him.

Leonardo Acropolis

Going through the lead pile with a smattering of stuff I’d gathered for a vague Dragon Rampant force, kind of Tilea/Empire adjacent. The whole lot will be useable for Five Leagues From The Borderlands and Mordheim/Frostgrave as well.

First up, the “wizard”, an older Da Vinci from Antediluvian Miniatures. Others from the same pack are pending.
