25mm Rohan standard bearer

 This is a Heritage casting done for Elan Merch in 1980. It is listed as part of a diorama set "On to Helm's Deep" #1713-d for the Lord of the Rings miniatures line.

This came with the Nazgul set I got in an auction. The minis were not individually pictured and although I could identify the complete set of Nazgul ( which was what I really wanted), I really didnt care what the other four were. 

Once I got the order I was suprised to find the four extra minis were the full set of "On to Helm's Deep".

This is Guthlaf, Standard bearer to the King of Rohan. 

The other 3 mounted minis are Gandalf on Shadowfax, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli. I will be painting these at a later date.

25mm Tasmanian Devil

 

This is a 1977 Tasmanian Devil from Heritage's Der Kreigspielers Fantastiques 1100 line #1158 by Steve Bisset. This mini was purchased and painted by me around 1978 and had a few years on the gaming table with the White Box set before it was packed away when life changed.

Here he is from a couple of months ago in his original Humbrol paint job from '78.

I stripped off the Humbrol and painted him with Golden highflow acrylics. I've started making washes in small batches with flow aid, matte medium and acrylic that has been working well.
