Heritage Gnome and Grenadier Dwarf Archer

I didn't manage to post anything last month, but this time I have, not one, but two vintage miniatures for you:  a Heritage Miniatures gnome and a Grenadier dwarf archer. 

This gnome is from Dungeon Dwellers set 1239, which apparently came with three of these figures and three with a spear.  They were sculpted by Steve Bissett. 

The Grenadier figure is from AD&D set 2003 "Dwarves," which came out around 1980, if I'm not mistaken.  I chose him for his gnome-like hat, as I intend to have him stand in for a gnome.

And finally here are both figures with my Ral Partha Gnome Illusionist, as the start of my mighty gnome army.

I'm pretty happy with both figures and hope to post again soon.  Stay tuned.

Solomon Kane - Ral Partha Puritan Adventurer With Sword

Been away too long, but I'm back with a vintage mini from 1979: Ral Partha's Puritan Adventurer With Sword, sculpted by Dennis Mize, and clearly inspired by Solomon Kane.

  With a limited color palette, it painted up quickly.  I'm fairly happy with the face considering how small it is and how hard it was to get to with a brush because of the rim of the hat.

My plan to post at least once per calendar month has not changed...I just failed to do so over the last couple of months.  I hope to post again soon though. Stay tuned.

Ral Partha Gnome Illusionist - Deep Gnome

Here is stage one from Ral Partha's 3-Stage Player Characters Gnome Illusionist set.  I painted him to represent a deep gnome aka Svirfneblin.  I really enjoyed painting this little guy.  His face is really well sculpted considering how small it is.  I went with classic gnome colors for his clothing, i.e. red cap, blue shirt, brown pants.  

 

I took this comparison shot, with a typical Reaper figure to show how small this figure is.  

I picked up a Heritage gnome and a Grenadier dwarf archer (that I might use as a gnome) as well.  Although these may or may not be the next figures in my painting queue.  Stay tuned.

Ral Partha Aerial Servant aka Ghost Butler

I painted Ral Partha's Aerial Servant with Pizza, from their Weird Fantasy line, to represent the ghost of a butler that the PCs in my current D&D game are going to be facing.  Definitely a silly miniature but here he is.  Hopefully the players will underestimate him, evil laugh, evil laugh...
