Fall Harvest

As it turns out, I painted a few minis over the summer but didn't have the chance to post them here. I couldn't find the camara! Anyway, here's what I've been up to:

This first piece is Tordek, the iconic dwarf fighter. I bought this mini at GenCon 2000, when 3e was first released. I had no idea that WotC planned a 3e minis line until I saw the figures for sale at their GenCon booth. It took 9 years, but I'm happy with how this guy came out.

This fella is an orc from the WotC 25th Anniversary line. Not a bad fig, but I kind of hate the colors I used.

I think this figure was originally a Heartbreaker mini from the mid-1990s, but I bought it when it was re-released by a company called ZN Miniatures back in 2003 or so.

I have very few halfling minis painted, so I've decided to remedy that. This guy is a Reaper figure that I picked up at GenCon this year.

Here's a figure from the vaults, a TSR figure from about 1983 or so. I've been on a little bit of a kick with old figures lately.

This is a werebear from the Chainmail line.

An ogre delver from the Chainmail line. One of the things I liked about Chainmail was that it had a lot of interesting takes on classic D&D monsters. An ogre ranger with two axes is pretty cool.

A slaughterpit gnoll zombie from the Chainmail line, basically two zombified gnolls sewn together into a super zombie.

Another product of my nostalgia kick. About 20 years ago, this figure was one of the first minis I ever painted. I picked up another copy and did a new paint job, using the same color scheme. When a big box of my old gaming stuff arrives from New England, I'll do a side-by-side comparison of my original work and this guy.

A mob of Chainmail goblins, because you can never have enough of the little guys.

A human barbarian from the WotC 3e minis line.

Regdar, the iconic human fighter. Another mini from the 3e WotC minis line.

Not the clearest photo, but this guy is the minotaur from the Silver Anniversary line.

  1. Some great stuff there Mike. I particularly like the dwarf, orc, human barbarian and old Redgar there.

  2. Thanks! The dwarf was really fun to work on, especially compared to the original I painted years ago. I have a few more Partha figures from back in the day I'm going to do next.
