August 1


Summer holidays are over, and the everyday struggle begins anew.

Some assorted minis this week.

51031 Goblin Spiderrider Wizard
Grenadier Miniatures, Fantasy Warriors line, early 1990s
Sculpted by Bob Naismith
Lead metal, 75mm base
This is another one off the pile of ancient minis.

Archfiend of the Abyss
Kings of War, Forces of the Abyss faction
Mantic games
Resin, 80mm base
The big bad from the Forces of the Abyss army for Kings of War. In essence he is just a large version of their typical Lower Abyssals, with added wings.

50069 Zombie Dog Handler
Reaper Miniatures, Chronoscope line
Sculpted by Bob Olley
Metal, 40mm base

Mad Scientist
From the RAFM 02914 multipack “Sinister Scientists”,
Call of Cthulhu line
Unknown sculptor
Metal, 25mm base

This is one more from the lead pile from before the turn of the century.

Goblin Assassin
Reaper Bones 5 core set, Goblin player characters subset
Unknown sculptor
Bones Black hard PVC
25mm base


9010 Dwarf Clansmen c (out of a pack of three different minis)
Harlequin Miniatures mid 1990s
Sculpted by Kev Adams (I think)
Metal, 25mm base

Salvaged from the lead rot pile. I have a few more.


Brinewind Quartermaster
Bones 5 Brinewind expansion
Sculpted by ?
Bones Black hard PVC
25mm base

Undead Inquisitor
Reaper Bones 5 core set, Grave Lords subset
Sculpted by ?
Bones Black PVC
28mm base

Dinofolk Pterosaur Ninja
Reaper Bones 5 Daimyo expansion, Dinofolk subset
Sculpted by Chris Lewis
Bones Black hard PVC
28mm base

TTCombat Sci-Fi Halfling
Troll Trader / TTCombat
Unknown sculptor
Resin, 25mm base
This mini was one of the freebies that was sent with the TTCombat paint range kickstarter.

The TTCombat paints are very good in my opinion, at least as good as citadel and Vallejo paints, more consistent across diverse colours than Reaper paints and stand head and shoulders above most Army Painter paints.
I have been using them extensively since I received them a few months ago, and I will certainly be getting in on the second wave kickstarter that will be launched soon. A+ will buy again.

The Little Treeman, from the 77196 Familiars pack
Reaper Bones 1
Unknown sculptor
Classic Bones, the rubbery white stuff
20mm base

And not to be forgotten; this months installment in the Board to Death 2 series:

All the 22 miniatures from the Star Saga: Terror in the Deep expansion

This marks the completion of all expansions from the entire Star Saga range that I own. As far as I know, there is only one mini that I do not have, the Nameless Goliath giant monster resin/PVC hybrid model that was not a part of the kickstarter, and that sadly is no longer available.
If you have one you would be willing to sell at a reasonable price, let me know.

January: 98
February: 22
March: 37+5
April: 29
May: 15

July: 66
