I have been playing Games Workshop games from 1986 (the original Rogue Trader WH40K with plastic beakie Adeptes Astartes), Warhammer Fantasy Battle, and even the Specialist Games. I can honestly say that high school was the last time I actively participated in a campaign so that was in 1992. It has been decades since i actually played a game of Dungeons & Dragons. Hello and greetings Fifty, thank you from a fellow Commonwealth nation for coming in to check out my Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures P&M Blog! Now I am playing DnD again, but only online, and I find myself DMing.Ĥ0k is taking up all of my painting time right now, but I want to get back to some DnD miniatures at some point soon. I like to have a painted model for my PCs, but I have had a long hiatus from DnD which only ended during lockdown. I have a few DnD models saved in one of my galleries. Last update was at 6 22:27:10įifty wrote: I look forward to more pictures of your models! So far i have collected about a half dozen sets and found them to be an addictive delight to paint up, although i hate painting faces and eyes. The classic monsters from Dungeons & Dragons lore are well represented, including the Bugbear, Beholder, Gelatinous Cube, multiple Dragons, Giants, Spiders, etc. The miniatures are sculpted and cast in 25mm scale, making the miniatures fairly compatible with Games Workshop's "Lord Of The Rings" line and even 28mm plastic Goblins, Skeletons and even Zombies can be used in a pinch as adversaries! For example here is an Elf Cleric, Gnome Druid, Minas Tirith Fighter, and Dwarf Paladin! These highly-detailed and well-painted miniatures can be customized yourself, however i had no idea that there were pre-primed WizKids miniatures specifically for Dungeons & Dragons!Īffordably priced and finely sculpted with not just a wide range of character classes but also NPC's and also decorations and details for your towns and dungeons! The availability of plastic paintable miniatures was not a novel concept as I have seen WizKids produce pre-painted miniatures for many games from Dungeons & Dragons to BattleTech to Star Wars. And even better, an army of undead skeletons was available as Citadel had just released the plastic Skeleton Army box set which included infantry, skeletal horse riders and even bone chariots! As these new miniatures were cast in plastic, not only were they easier to assemble but much lighter to transport and best of all, no eyeballs to paint.Īlas although tabletop wargaming was a lot of fun to collect, model and paint it was easier to find opponents in larger cities and as such i have been drawn back to Dungeons & Dragons again! However i never had a favourite metal miniature for role-playing and in no time the world of Warhammer Fantasy Battle took my time and imagination instead of just having one dwarf, i could have an army of dwarves. one wizard, one elf, one human ranger, one human fighter, one dwarf, and the supporting cast of rogues were what I imagined were the start of amazing adventures. Tolkien's "Fellowship Of The Ring" was produced by Grenadier Miniatures and another by Citadel Miniatures these were the epitome of the fantastic world of Dungeons & Dragons. I started collecting Dungeons & Dragons miniatures made by Ral Partha back in the early 1980's, and they were cast with such names as "Feenor the Past Master" and were cast originally in lead making them heavy plus prone to bending and/or damage.ĭuring this time, a set for J.R.R. my laptop not being able to recharge properly, I am borrowing a computer to start a new P&M Blog! Hello and greetings to all from Western Canada, the small city of Penticton in British Columbia to be exact.Īfter a long hiatus that involved a major technical issue.
