Five Quick and Easy Minis

From Miniatures


These four guys are from FASA's Crucible miniatures game. I found them dirt cheap at American Eagles, a weird hobby store in Seattle that stopped stocking new game stuff over 10 years ago. The store is massive, so they've slowly been going through a big game inventory. If you ever wanted a trip back to 1997 in gaming, check them out.

These minis were very easy to paint. Base coat, wash, a few highlights, and that's it.

This gargoyle from Otherworld Miniatures was also easy to paint, with a gray base coat, wash, and highlights, plus a few detail bits here and there. I have a bunch of hobgoblins from Otherworld that I want to paint, and that might be my next big project.

  1. I'm jealous of the FASA dudes. If that place has any old Grenadier Dragon lords stuff, send a shout out! I'm always interested in picking up stuff from their old boxed sets!

  2. Sadly, they've been picked clean of anything that isn't easy to find on eBay. The have a lot of Crucible, some random old RAFM stuff, some BattleTech minis, and some of the late Ral Partha D&D stuff.

    Still, I suspect they have a warehouse or storage room they're slowly emptying. The last time I was there, nearly a year ago, I found a bunch of RP All American Line elves.

  3. Those FASA zombies are wrong. The again, they do have a gripping hand. :)
