Mini projects #1 – Old school nasties
February 6, 2015I’m currently working on not one but two mini projects. That’s an unintentional pun by the way – even if they’re both miniature projects and quite small in terms of the number of miniatures involved. Both are related to my upcoming (and now somewhat customary) trip to Salute in London. In this post I will show off the beginning of the first one. The fun folks of FU-UK! are putting together a participation game of traditional dungeon romping. This provided me with a great chance to paint some classic fantasy miniatures long buried at the back of my miniatures cupboard.
This group consists of traditional D&D bad guys: four goblins (Heartbreaker, 1995), a hobgoblin or half-orc (of unknown make and year) and a classic bugbear (Citadel/TSR, 1985). They look like they’ll be fun to paint as they’re simple, clean sculpts. The goblins will not be the green of Warhammer of Warcraft but rather something along the lines of red, brown and yellow as per their D&D description. Updates will be posted as I get to work on them. If someone recognizes that unknown miniature, I’d be happy to know details.

Hello, the unknown miniature is 920 (a) Goblin Warrior by Nick Lund from the old grenadier model : Fantasy warrior range (1990).
Interestingly the model is still in production at two manufacturers.
At Mirliton (IT) :
Goblin Command Group 2 Product Code: GO006 with its spear modified into a standard
Goblin Berserkers Product Code: GO008 in its similar sculpt as yours.
at Forlonhopegames (UK)
“Spear“
I hope you learned it earlier, but for other readers it may help!
