I have been working on collecting and painting the range, which consists of 70 metal miniatures. With help from Trish Carden (and Bob Naismith for some toad conversions), Morrison created a masterpiece of a range, in my (humble and biased) opinion the greatest set of minis Citadel ever created. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB8gSgdjZaeP2elNsHBxOxySu-IlhAFdppbZ_9mKY484CZ-cnurytdHjIpLr-3xSTnYV4mJr2LH_7wPNG7noeGjw57syhtDV0orY3y9dCozT8u4aV2P6bjrRwO385fRDyqq45ppEvlWf-yzwkOj4C4qtaoyfq9HsT_LXId9_IDNXwoXIuF2MOHiZlG7tc/s1052/taltimeminisheetx.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1052" data-original-width="874" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB8gSgdjZaeP2elNsHBxOxySu-IlhAFdppbZ_9mKY484CZ-cnurytdHjIpLr-3xSTnYV4mJr2LH_7wPNG7noeGjw57syhtDV0orY3y9dCozT8u4aV2P6bjrRwO385fRDyqq45ppEvlWf-yzwkOj4C4qtaoyfq9HsT_LXId9_IDNXwoXIuF2MOHiZlG7tc/s320/taltimeminisheetx.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Advertisement</span></i></div><br /><p></p><p>The original Talisman game didn't have any minis and instead players used little paper cards to play the game. But when second edition came out in 1985, Citadel decided to add minis to the mix. Based on the illustrations by Gary Chalk, Morrison set out creating an initial set of 14. Over the next few years he sculpted all the other minis, except the 8 Timescape ones, done by Trish Carden, and the 4 toad conversions, which were done by Bob Naismith. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuQGirEpykoqjz5UiTr9WAu5TC90bfHZRqIA3qROxKeD4LTauihTlRqsfdl7h7LUsFZDBnOxr7egMu1OCpUslH253MoH0tPqW3L_8AJpddl76Q2GkjMiMAgZkjTCFsph4SdOCjqrqeHSD5YrKAl2GU_4Z7dTCKTEp5Kjfn-LH4dbZQ302422nx_JwuT1w/s732/aad5000f15150cf12cb01a115703302b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="732" data-original-width="732" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuQGirEpykoqjz5UiTr9WAu5TC90bfHZRqIA3qROxKeD4LTauihTlRqsfdl7h7LUsFZDBnOxr7egMu1OCpUslH253MoH0tPqW3L_8AJpddl76Q2GkjMiMAgZkjTCFsph4SdOCjqrqeHSD5YrKAl2GU_4Z7dTCKTEp5Kjfn-LH4dbZQ302422nx_JwuT1w/s320/aad5000f15150cf12cb01a115703302b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Paper character card</span></i></div><p></p><p><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDnSD54wlT8tmDD7fEN8T8LETsakzjdcnU74YndThCh20m0Mev_UEwzjdO4HXBEaqLWL1hqDffhT5b71VdOuTeijwVcKrCOcDW1dUDSfrf5Ntvw90aV8jAhT-MaH1WaCArCVVnVN2JSG0_7h6NRjCATLUGsLYrzcXZF5Y_RXCS61qDyMvuRR8eCdWZTEA/s1800/all%20toads.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDnSD54wlT8tmDD7fEN8T8LETsakzjdcnU74YndThCh20m0Mev_UEwzjdO4HXBEaqLWL1hqDffhT5b71VdOuTeijwVcKrCOcDW1dUDSfrf5Ntvw90aV8jAhT-MaH1WaCArCVVnVN2JSG0_7h6NRjCATLUGsLYrzcXZF5Y_RXCS61qDyMvuRR8eCdWZTEA/s320/all%20toads.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">All the toads</span></i></div><p></p><p>For me personally, painting a mini is just as important as owning it. If a model paints up poorly, or you have to paint 40 of them in the same way, my hobby becomes a slog. The Talisman range avoids that. Even if you paint the mini just like it shows on the paper card (I don't anymore), you still feel like each of the miniatures is its own range. There's no need for repetitiveness and that's how it was designed. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtVsEQGypnt7PrCltfaPASI3fuuKrgJnl2MV3LuI1MIT6gaOcdUq-6XV81uFmWl8maujMTGq2p1BHukuVNcs_X-L1glh69wZyA4A7aLkgA5PoXL5w2PXhPiHOTuaMFRS3VK1C1YzYAkMGKzIgpwmSijOJJnSMyddh_CsBoMPh15poaqqAUKECE5nTBK8/s3344/adventure%20orc%20front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3344" data-original-width="3344" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDtVsEQGypnt7PrCltfaPASI3fuuKrgJnl2MV3LuI1MIT6gaOcdUq-6XV81uFmWl8maujMTGq2p1BHukuVNcs_X-L1glh69wZyA4A7aLkgA5PoXL5w2PXhPiHOTuaMFRS3VK1C1YzYAkMGKzIgpwmSijOJJnSMyddh_CsBoMPh15poaqqAUKECE5nTBK8/s320/adventure%20orc%20front.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> Orc from the Adventure Expansion</span></i></div><p></p><p><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPurCYM5RCz3m_2PSMxTSWMOU3TKZ2ESxlsPKc9kS-5BXUpn4Szm3Wi8wvfcCrw7Y2I0mc2fIzql6eOzYIRj7yYsEmQQuUYmNI-dY4As9h0o7qmW99duaN5vagDrgnUicG249G07Avp1AplPBVSgMjl_m71o-b-QxYgjgRppTIWus32JKVZy9kkbviLIw/s2869/orig%20set%20sorceress%20front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2869" data-original-width="2818" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPurCYM5RCz3m_2PSMxTSWMOU3TKZ2ESxlsPKc9kS-5BXUpn4Szm3Wi8wvfcCrw7Y2I0mc2fIzql6eOzYIRj7yYsEmQQuUYmNI-dY4As9h0o7qmW99duaN5vagDrgnUicG249G07Avp1AplPBVSgMjl_m71o-b-QxYgjgRppTIWus32JKVZy9kkbviLIw/s320/orig%20set%20sorceress%20front.jpg" width="314" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Sorceress from the original set</span></i></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Another wonderful thing to love about the Talisman range, is the variety of characters within it. I really think it must have been fun coming up with a group of characters, so different from each other, that still walk in the same world - it's the ultimate fantasy game. There are mythical designs, like the Satyr, there are eastern inspired minis like the Samurai and the Ninja, there are medieval looking models like the Knight and the Druid. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I am also hugely inspired by Stuff of Legends and Oldenhammer in Toronto, the Talisman minis on that blog look astounding. But the Talisman project has given me tremendous personal joy during my battle with cancer this past year and a half and although I have not collected all of them yet, I am determined to see it all through. I have always loved the 2nd edition game (yes it's a long game) and working for a few years on these amazing minis feels like honoring this illustious game and set. I have been keeping Aly Morrison in the loop once in a while and he has been kind enough to peek at the gallery a couple of times for that I am grateful. I paint about 25-30 minis a year and I still need to find a bunch, so, health permitting, you will see me busy with this for a bit!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Here's the link <a href="https://www.smugmug.com/gallery/n-CpDR3L/" target="_blank">to the ongoing project gallery</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The catalog images were kindly borrowed from Stuff of Legends, the greatest resource that is out there for people like me</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><i><span style="color: red;">SC Mike</span></i></span></div>SC Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15258905153733166390noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303857809033694584.post-74526952638351243362023-07-12T08:02:00.005-07:002023-07-12T08:03:32.106-07:002023 ongoing Oldhammer projects<p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKBA6il08Q5Sganfms5i-1AQv4jgvu0a-8XOyu2egBEd0OmUtzTNu0ujjTu3hgxhqfEZC9j99ojXD8DVclpn0cf-wfWyHVNMzXpND2nrk69zgoJ5ZEArbNHeOFIDkUSw09bI6PW9JQY8agFc1CWnNoO2N9fAyMxoKYnB68Te7mOJavqdMWXv8LqyQ8vE/s2048/CCD00D05-29DF-4047-BEB9-0993D931BBA1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNKBA6il08Q5Sganfms5i-1AQv4jgvu0a-8XOyu2egBEd0OmUtzTNu0ujjTu3hgxhqfEZC9j99ojXD8DVclpn0cf-wfWyHVNMzXpND2nrk69zgoJ5ZEArbNHeOFIDkUSw09bI6PW9JQY8agFc1CWnNoO2N9fAyMxoKYnB68Te7mOJavqdMWXv8LqyQ8vE/s320/CCD00D05-29DF-4047-BEB9-0993D931BBA1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /> Last time I posted painted miniatures was in February of this year - I have been busier than ever with the hobby, but did not find the time to post them on the blog. So I figure I correct that with this post. <p></p><p>First my Golden Heroes project! All the minis in this obscure preslotta range were sculpted by Aly Morrison in 1984. I am closing in on getting the entire range of 30 minis collected and painted.

This set also includes the two, rarer, Chaos Beastmen Raiders that were sculpted for this group although It got a different catalog number: C34. More about those later.</p><p>So as a recap, the Citadel C38 Chaos Beastmen came out in 1984, were preslotta and were all sculpted by Trish Carden. It was Trish's first project as a young sculptor for the company. There are 26 sculpts. Some of those sculpts got moved over in 1985 to a slotta version of the range with some new and some existing ones. C27 has a total of 20 minis. There are some extra, uncatalogued ones, but I am leaving those out for clarity.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEFzA1J_-1irfMVdPtP2elMA41Za-wUDf14vUdI862014P2mt_uT7Zm14UNHgjVZN2g4Y_D9P-EOonX-YhlspU0SDrSdxQIh3-KpzidpgHU80j_Vl5pajKR_53VuFdPPSYcEvAL1DSh4FHl0loHJenjpPk0SAvt8wJgAUKZ0uBVxYyBNlwXU1-sk7j/s1153/c38%20catalog.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1153" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEFzA1J_-1irfMVdPtP2elMA41Za-wUDf14vUdI862014P2mt_uT7Zm14UNHgjVZN2g4Y_D9P-EOonX-YhlspU0SDrSdxQIh3-KpzidpgHU80j_Vl5pajKR_53VuFdPPSYcEvAL1DSh4FHl0loHJenjpPk0SAvt8wJgAUKZ0uBVxYyBNlwXU1-sk7j/s320/c38%20catalog.jpeg" width="278" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd56KF98NthYdnTncvnWLDTH3UfoLP_byKEA-2hlJTY6RO8bOboh8uxwDAfCJcDvUXT-s97BX--iF4HR3PAeoMBXV2VRLcR7S75_xJvJHjMmFSUcQyUDEYD_Ni4wSIb4t-lWPYKa5D6DegwT7_P9NP9c4Qm_wfOLHD-2ly9RhCe-OtNwpMRxUN_kcs/s1390/fly198509f-c27x-01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1390" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd56KF98NthYdnTncvnWLDTH3UfoLP_byKEA-2hlJTY6RO8bOboh8uxwDAfCJcDvUXT-s97BX--iF4HR3PAeoMBXV2VRLcR7S75_xJvJHjMmFSUcQyUDEYD_Ni4wSIb4t-lWPYKa5D6DegwT7_P9NP9c4Qm_wfOLHD-2ly9RhCe-OtNwpMRxUN_kcs/s320/fly198509f-c27x-01.jpg" width="230" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">I painted one new member of these sets, the awesome looking Owl Man, who appears in both ranges.

These are real fighting dwarfs and some of them look like little knights, with the (now) legendary sculpted helmet ornamentations. The red catalog from 1991 lists over 80 Imperial dwarfs, but in the mid 80's only an original 24 were released in two waves of 12 under that name. These 10 are from those sets. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZTFmeCYTmrmtUWJBwy8eXZ43SvOcbSNNxETdVcBWTHYVK-VMJAihZO54mpdOs_AyNNClceDf51EQsnJjBi7t0U7OpxR7THBJLhlxhrnqMknG2Au0Te79H097gk7EfKVtNVWizcGqMXDjvqnxqt6Soyfwp8ag0vAhTwSYvcUq4sChxUywYt3eXjKzI/s1599/WD%2080%20advert%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1348" data-original-width="1599" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZTFmeCYTmrmtUWJBwy8eXZ43SvOcbSNNxETdVcBWTHYVK-VMJAihZO54mpdOs_AyNNClceDf51EQsnJjBi7t0U7OpxR7THBJLhlxhrnqMknG2Au0Te79H097gk7EfKVtNVWizcGqMXDjvqnxqt6Soyfwp8ag0vAhTwSYvcUq4sChxUywYt3eXjKzI/w400-h338/WD%2080%20advert%201.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">White Dwarf 80 ad</span></i></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkMMYsw8bHa7POnhtvpojJTDrNCNGXRA63lTe_MXTWFwFAH_X1GQzNnrdUEVy-p3sm3i7XDxfW9NrokslNZP5sFwE5kfpNWkUJcJUP8QL8_pS8oaZqSZhQrXCQj-6oRtNGtA3dDhGG4JrrpevnWH7zCx94oMqRcEmBpcYLnPQ019Jpx6G8Tr1sM3Q/s2332/collage%20copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2229" data-original-width="2332" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinkMMYsw8bHa7POnhtvpojJTDrNCNGXRA63lTe_MXTWFwFAH_X1GQzNnrdUEVy-p3sm3i7XDxfW9NrokslNZP5sFwE5kfpNWkUJcJUP8QL8_pS8oaZqSZhQrXCQj-6oRtNGtA3dDhGG4JrrpevnWH7zCx94oMqRcEmBpcYLnPQ019Jpx6G8Tr1sM3Q/w400-h383/collage%20copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">I decided to paint the 10 I have and make them into a cohesive unit with all unique outfits, but matching colors from the bottom of the standard color wheel. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-xVRV7nugVPFJjKFObak77W5NOWaAdpW2g_n3mbHEXPKgTqw-oVQ3NkGrNkUxm5HNDIPg-i4tuQrrtQoP1NMBovbdTsTvQx_ZH2suk3DEBfoaRYZgsCUPQiLSIxi5hsU3oLE5Bp56ZBnOTL3yyOFHwz2tS-vixygfPsHDy8L4RQnc2lV9WQJsHhIc/s3854/imp%20dwarfs%20group%20long.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1481" data-original-width="3854" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-xVRV7nugVPFJjKFObak77W5NOWaAdpW2g_n3mbHEXPKgTqw-oVQ3NkGrNkUxm5HNDIPg-i4tuQrrtQoP1NMBovbdTsTvQx_ZH2suk3DEBfoaRYZgsCUPQiLSIxi5hsU3oLE5Bp56ZBnOTL3yyOFHwz2tS-vixygfPsHDy8L4RQnc2lV9WQJsHhIc/w400-h154/imp%20dwarfs%20group%20long.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhcP_3gW1rL162KIOfsHOOkTQoOpQy5X-MHeNUC3HaE1TRQsEw51Aw9veNDWeXNgTjSgUwNg2tgq6Ox3Qr3-axeDAeXlSwYQu7cxfo6UOSCmTT3TKRdaabMJd4mQUs2hma4V-DDRaYYRuDu-PmVnkEq6ffUV6pzO4OqARdho0e9UK2c-yk6Y0-IiGF9" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhcP_3gW1rL162KIOfsHOOkTQoOpQy5X-MHeNUC3HaE1TRQsEw51Aw9veNDWeXNgTjSgUwNg2tgq6Ox3Qr3-axeDAeXlSwYQu7cxfo6UOSCmTT3TKRdaabMJd4mQUs2hma4V-DDRaYYRuDu-PmVnkEq6ffUV6pzO4OqARdho0e9UK2c-yk6Y0-IiGF9" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I only used uniform colors from below the black stripe plus black.

Although the Birmingham team wrote a slew of Golden Heroes scenarios in White Dwarf, there was a definite lack of communication between the teams. Of course having a set of successful miniatures would have helped a lot, but things went awry pretty quickly. Here's how Burley remembers it:</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"<span><i style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: inherit;">As far as I am aware the figures were an afterthought.

Models with weapons in their hands tend to rest more naturally on the split between the two halves of the mould during the vulcanisation process (curing of the mould). This means that the resulting cavity has fewer undercuts, the mould therefore being more robust and less prone to tears, and overall, easier to cast. I was concerned that the weaponless arms would end up being buried in one or other mould half. I may have engaged in some subtle, and very careful, bending of a master or two’s arms to reduce the chance of this happening. I was always a little nervous doing this sort of editing of master miniatures - I didn’t want to break the master figure and the designers could be quite precious about their designs being mucked about with. Even with these risks sometimes it was worth my effort because it avoided the need to have to write copious notes for the designer and to have to post the master back to them and then wait a week or two for them to be returned!"</span></i></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iy4J92-xjFKmmyNmThMZAzFoXQQav9GWt12OpSJGvFeMNQucCkPxQTLlci8dd1EPUFETbhPNkYpzTNZvowSCbD0arINY_eI17UGjUB7216OxoMGY1HE7k5KKLWeo_XtjG45rt8frpVrtZyvYt_Vxxtn60uz37QIADd5S1Pg3C5HlroPjc7dlIzpp/s3038/C40%2006%20front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3038" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iy4J92-xjFKmmyNmThMZAzFoXQQav9GWt12OpSJGvFeMNQucCkPxQTLlci8dd1EPUFETbhPNkYpzTNZvowSCbD0arINY_eI17UGjUB7216OxoMGY1HE7k5KKLWeo_XtjG45rt8frpVrtZyvYt_Vxxtn60uz37QIADd5S1Pg3C5HlroPjc7dlIzpp/w399-h400/C40%2006%20front.jpg" width="399" /></a></div><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><i>""<span style="background-color: black;">The Golden Heroes range is a little time capsule of very early Citadel. Classic Aly Morrison designs. Lovely clean detail, with lots of personality and charmingly quirky. They were also very innovative in their day. The range has a cohesiveness that comes from being the work of a single designer - the miniatures all sit well with each other.

When I started work on the Grenadier Wizard AD&D 2001 small box set from 1980, I knew nothing about the minis and could not find much about it online as well. When you google this set, loads of Ebay sales show up, but very few posts about them and hardly any decent paint jobs. The set is well known, but not the sculptor, Andrew Chernak, so I tracked him down and sent him a few questions. He responded promptly and I hope you all find this of interest. At least it will help create some background to these classic minis. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">First a quick recap; here's the set:</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOxNsf36KX5jR41ip1XGm0UcONRgqXCE_1gxPitsDBIANvMH87wyD16Vc-mboorm04A3EXZ9jSw4Odx8q9uk13b0UoO8aWmMTHHbHWwMuCSQ4e9tcgPXPr56GsrxB0nsOVwtdZPkvVpYondtBOE3B99mIagp0nbMQYCHig7vOrBO3zu--9YiCvr-V/s1667/2001-wizards-grenadier-box-set_1_ff19ba0509c054d18cf4fc6abec257be.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1250" data-original-width="1667" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwOxNsf36KX5jR41ip1XGm0UcONRgqXCE_1gxPitsDBIANvMH87wyD16Vc-mboorm04A3EXZ9jSw4Odx8q9uk13b0UoO8aWmMTHHbHWwMuCSQ4e9tcgPXPr56GsrxB0nsOVwtdZPkvVpYondtBOE3B99mIagp0nbMQYCHig7vOrBO3zu--9YiCvr-V/s320/2001-wizards-grenadier-box-set_1_ff19ba0509c054d18cf4fc6abec257be.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: black;">The miniatures are all wizards, and at first glance they all look like different personalities, with unique skillsets.

His history in the war will follow his career, but on that later. In 1975 he co-founded Grenadier with Ray Rubin and the company would exist till 1996. Some well known sculptors worked for Grenadier, like Bob Naismith, Nick Lund, John Dennett and Julie Guthrie.

There are so many great minis to be found from the early 80's for way less money that are equally enjoyable to paint up. One of the old sets I am really excited about is the Grenadier AD&D 2001 Wizards small box set from 1980, sculpted by Andrew Chernak. It was the first set of a group of small box sets of 10 miniatures that were cheap and gave kids a great starter to the hobby. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirhbhhjAgFyHvU-Ornef8AyWgD2Hy_QNSMAM2wWxSDG2jv7TIsxgFK6Y6m3FdivFogFmTdBWKzvJ7dah6sLXKBwYaRcNtoJbbosRTptygkB3_iVeXf2D8LHIuUiEKJYyMtCsjwksy6Hwg1M5vxGvahJwJ8kFOyeWOq0LW9okImUpGXrHHGOcVBuqqf/s3264/67020024166__A023EC95-4950-4C41-BB66-53AF3FE09B58.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirhbhhjAgFyHvU-Ornef8AyWgD2Hy_QNSMAM2wWxSDG2jv7TIsxgFK6Y6m3FdivFogFmTdBWKzvJ7dah6sLXKBwYaRcNtoJbbosRTptygkB3_iVeXf2D8LHIuUiEKJYyMtCsjwksy6Hwg1M5vxGvahJwJ8kFOyeWOq0LW9okImUpGXrHHGOcVBuqqf/s320/67020024166__A023EC95-4950-4C41-BB66-53AF3FE09B58.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><p></p><p>I have been posting about this set already on Facebook and Instagram, and one of the reasons I felt compelled to do something with it, is that I could not find many well painted versions of it anywhere.

This miniature looks great, even by today's standards. It's a very dynamic pose and the casting of it must have been a nightmare, with all the swirls around the torso. My mini had a lot of flash still around the swirls and it took a bit to clean it all up. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The skull looks great and even has some cracks in the top. The face is excellent and my version was pretty clean. The miniature is impressive when finished and very tall. I do think that on the original preslotta 'base', this miniature would be pretty unstable, especially with the inserted spell, so adding the round base really helped its stability.</span></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>The Druid:<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9nrcJXm46BxaydD-tOOTefyPDiF6fzIU2roBzt8pLj_ts1g5ANp63K2oF-Vmu9U16XSFiewWoUcjJnXkk3K_4ZVUlOgJf0tYQsTM6xsKmuW_gLnNs2b5c2LKpo8btCVnP1tbz6bBc_Z2u1FFiK4TzuGPnCXfugXvASe7cFCG6f_ge8qYzd3n2PbRq/s2965/wixard%20b%20Druid%20front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2965" data-original-width="2450" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9nrcJXm46BxaydD-tOOTefyPDiF6fzIU2roBzt8pLj_ts1g5ANp63K2oF-Vmu9U16XSFiewWoUcjJnXkk3K_4ZVUlOgJf0tYQsTM6xsKmuW_gLnNs2b5c2LKpo8btCVnP1tbz6bBc_Z2u1FFiK4TzuGPnCXfugXvASe7cFCG6f_ge8qYzd3n2PbRq/s320/wixard%20b%20Druid%20front.jpg" width="264" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">The Druid is the only (conventional) fighting Wizard of the set and he is engaged to do battle. The sculpt is great and the detail is totally adequate. You can see that Chernak loved his cloth folds, they are all over, but that also makes it easier for us to paint it nicely. The back of the shield is a mess, and my version had all kinds of casting issues, and it make sense that companies later would separate shield and warrior, like Citadel did in the mid eighties. The Druid is a good example of the sparseness of the designs; none of the miniatures have a lot of extra detail, like pouches, bottles, extra knives, belt buckles etc. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">There are definitely casting issues in the set. The Magic user with imp or dragon on his shoulder is a great example. I still don't know what the creature </span>really is and after posting in the community, it is still unclear - it's because the face is just mangled up and basically non existent.

The pose is excellent and I love this sculpt for its choice of outfit and weapons. Again Chernak did a great job with the cloth folds, all very natural and flowing and really fun to paint up. My version was missing the left side of his face, definitely a casting error. You can see that in the image below, so I added an eyebrow with greenstuff and painted in an eye. This would be an awesome mini to use in D&D or Mordheim, the dart is just the best. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuo3TE4_Jkh8o8f6V4lL9-hLmo53qeJrmi53JtG1aUO-X6FzUbBj6iORfznxSihLwZRZW6Q1QDxjyJh8co7y078F-XJKBqsMYZT4Kn0RW9pNrMTF2BZa4jYDXfjBn1qAl8incxd6fKMxrzLeE6il-5dE_0hw7qw0VC6KJSkRyvlb45eaywrJf1IOWB/s2829/magic%20user%20with%20dart%20front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2829" data-original-width="2826" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuo3TE4_Jkh8o8f6V4lL9-hLmo53qeJrmi53JtG1aUO-X6FzUbBj6iORfznxSihLwZRZW6Q1QDxjyJh8co7y078F-XJKBqsMYZT4Kn0RW9pNrMTF2BZa4jYDXfjBn1qAl8incxd6fKMxrzLeE6il-5dE_0hw7qw0VC6KJSkRyvlb45eaywrJf1IOWB/s320/magic%20user%20with%20dart%20front.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVbgexScJd1pcStHU66fEyJBuzO42MVkjLUiqMKI2P7sRtiYivYJqqher9jRSqwQX9qlWnWXlb8JkZqGfBJAKUpIx7Sn5gQV_qSAlTJDzBrohXRyubHDkznf_CFVZbdlFeoCUuB_kOlU0YeSTaaR7320UbuFcWVujUSukMpJnzotLxQ76ogFPIyuHf/s2048/magic%20user%20with%20dart%20head.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVbgexScJd1pcStHU66fEyJBuzO42MVkjLUiqMKI2P7sRtiYivYJqqher9jRSqwQX9qlWnWXlb8JkZqGfBJAKUpIx7Sn5gQV_qSAlTJDzBrohXRyubHDkznf_CFVZbdlFeoCUuB_kOlU0YeSTaaR7320UbuFcWVujUSukMpJnzotLxQ76ogFPIyuHf/s320/magic%20user%20with%20dart%20head.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Below are a couple of other one I painted - they are truly a joy to work on and it gave me opportunities to use all the paint colors I have instead of coming up with a homogenous 'squad color'.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtNabvNUbAoFyuqHVGZfWuTnnCJrqlFMNRQwpzA_H9ZOaJf2_BL3Zt0Rl3sTtWOYjSVJpb0iEeFxX2FO-tFP7c_3QPNcYDknduOhcUeI5OH47KaNfemhASpOFuxKe_5XyYnvyNi23huA1qybAzp-1NOePn1addLRVEtntiIxMgQj8D9F9khlZHnnUZ/s3024/wizard%20I%20front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2703" data-original-width="3024" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtNabvNUbAoFyuqHVGZfWuTnnCJrqlFMNRQwpzA_H9ZOaJf2_BL3Zt0Rl3sTtWOYjSVJpb0iEeFxX2FO-tFP7c_3QPNcYDknduOhcUeI5OH47KaNfemhASpOFuxKe_5XyYnvyNi23huA1qybAzp-1NOePn1addLRVEtntiIxMgQj8D9F9khlZHnnUZ/s320/wizard%20I%20front.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuINJhXgvaprcBdXVmZUQpsm_qh8kr6lF3IlwmbZd-vgxeE7ztyiLpdcBETswhIruR1OPEFNIPgG3Rp82MyCjLqQuWbC4GOJh24Q9JGPC4le_bVzRKOER1kLlgjJwf4BWUYojttwE4VGFOk-YqseatKymrpTOus_DtbNKYil6WRvIlZ1tJx9AaJKBE/s3082/wizard%20A%20front.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3082" data-original-width="2848" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuINJhXgvaprcBdXVmZUQpsm_qh8kr6lF3IlwmbZd-vgxeE7ztyiLpdcBETswhIruR1OPEFNIPgG3Rp82MyCjLqQuWbC4GOJh24Q9JGPC4le_bVzRKOER1kLlgjJwf4BWUYojttwE4VGFOk-YqseatKymrpTOus_DtbNKYil6WRvIlZ1tJx9AaJKBE/s320/wizard%20A%20front.jpg" width="296" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I know this set is a classic, historic set.

At first I wanted a random placement of the holes and a wavy front, but after they sent me a mockup I decided to have the edges straightened and make it more conventional. It was so nice to create a dialogue with the team over there so I could get exactly what I wanted. Also, in the end, they went out and tracked down an original GW hex base, just to make sure the holes would be the correct size.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDUv52W4ot_jw_rCGTYeICRjdtoiaG6V7MuKunfrVx7gapHz_aPGrw3dlT5-_CmDTXy4RcWKZEdEDIxw40BlDZ5ztP2M-5m5otbCMTXp1xS7xCA0Ewx7xRI_KuM3kz7UzuY609ro9gey3ZhmbDsZSylx2_ZUrJ7mWMyU1I5OT_NmvfrkCKS8YcHIcj/s4032/unnamed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDUv52W4ot_jw_rCGTYeICRjdtoiaG6V7MuKunfrVx7gapHz_aPGrw3dlT5-_CmDTXy4RcWKZEdEDIxw40BlDZ5ztP2M-5m5otbCMTXp1xS7xCA0Ewx7xRI_KuM3kz7UzuY609ro9gey3ZhmbDsZSylx2_ZUrJ7mWMyU1I5OT_NmvfrkCKS8YcHIcj/s320/unnamed.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p></p><p><i><span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Measurements I sent in</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8lgEEZAgfPZfxql934CVhX6-VedJBYaL11FV55pU4gHA4NHiJqW83uifSOgptZHJYbl2mYqRC1eGcBxNI_9uE1mrzZ991-y7hsDruYDS2XrkZqfaNm-sE1MAX5U5eMaPSVsiVrSNJRVVYBhAakxxuohk40ZreMudqzTZ6E-na0enys6pcqyUQRg5-/s2749/Mike%20de%20Boer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1315" data-original-width="2749" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8lgEEZAgfPZfxql934CVhX6-VedJBYaL11FV55pU4gHA4NHiJqW83uifSOgptZHJYbl2mYqRC1eGcBxNI_9uE1mrzZ991-y7hsDruYDS2XrkZqfaNm-sE1MAX5U5eMaPSVsiVrSNJRVVYBhAakxxuohk40ZreMudqzTZ6E-na0enys6pcqyUQRg5-/s320/Mike%20de%20Boer.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><i><span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>warbases UK mockup</i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGgAaFsITn8geuqcU3wTH-KAMOq35jj-KFxYrjFxbLG39zUUQ4uismBb58fQR4YNvbv_NT5bpAktOd8j8_zJOczcETmCgsRm0gGRdNfcbLyIOOSMoEufPbJp8Tu6kxZ8fk8I1LPPcY7brJk0QgHubuVX1dbOp8_gdlGN8Gv4t4pEEq1aS4dBGhMx6b/s2000/warbase.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1119" data-original-width="2000" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGgAaFsITn8geuqcU3wTH-KAMOq35jj-KFxYrjFxbLG39zUUQ4uismBb58fQR4YNvbv_NT5bpAktOd8j8_zJOczcETmCgsRm0gGRdNfcbLyIOOSMoEufPbJp8Tu6kxZ8fk8I1LPPcY7brJk0QgHubuVX1dbOp8_gdlGN8Gv4t4pEEq1aS4dBGhMx6b/s320/warbase.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><i><span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> <span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Final MDF Result</i></p><p><br /></p><p>After I got the trays sent to California from the UK (I ordered a few of them), I decided create some terrain on the tray as to match the bases of the chaos warband.

I have been tearing through my limited stock of C38 Chaos Beastmen minis: sculpted by Trish Carden in 1984, these preslottas are of course classic miniatures - it's my favorite range to date. They are hard to find, but I have been able to get ahold of a few and I was gifted a few as well (Tim W...) and I am so grateful for them.

The sculpts are quite unsettling and sometimes downright creepy, which makes them stand out from all other Citadel minis, before or after. They remind me of the old paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, which after 500 years are still really shocking (in a good way).<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1oEmt-FZPqcp1cLRIR6HmXKrPomkOczgLBLsLUIg-oEmZ63ZzmwrpGfixzIFMPp7myUn-F7nYR8KJ8cy12wHzszYwvbBWg9A3iamHxf8TVrIab_dxIntwU5YTXtJ6TJ2ZE2joqhoZat5in9qU3GFQ4pI-aOebaQXZkmecDmPFHkIomZMuOSeyX-BU=s582" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="582" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi1oEmt-FZPqcp1cLRIR6HmXKrPomkOczgLBLsLUIg-oEmZ63ZzmwrpGfixzIFMPp7myUn-F7nYR8KJ8cy12wHzszYwvbBWg9A3iamHxf8TVrIab_dxIntwU5YTXtJ6TJ2ZE2joqhoZat5in9qU3GFQ4pI-aOebaQXZkmecDmPFHkIomZMuOSeyX-BU=w400-h330" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>Here are a few of the C38 designs:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEge6CWCMaeKaQmi1hyJZuIt-Se-j68sMYYI6gY0gDuBviyywTkP7jFKQvZQ9E8zyGBCpqWG6AfXhuFHCxgbPhOoM4y4amJGphpxlP3QCQi-Czn-7IB4zNsiWXyHvR7DMolOjBtMsTAc0QGRsVNw-t9imKPxBHhF6etvaL4mcVJ-tUdJxdfdTaClIMbh=s1000" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="1000" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEge6CWCMaeKaQmi1hyJZuIt-Se-j68sMYYI6gY0gDuBviyywTkP7jFKQvZQ9E8zyGBCpqWG6AfXhuFHCxgbPhOoM4y4amJGphpxlP3QCQi-Czn-7IB4zNsiWXyHvR7DMolOjBtMsTAc0QGRsVNw-t9imKPxBHhF6etvaL4mcVJ-tUdJxdfdTaClIMbh=w400-h174" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">image courtesy of Stuff of Legends</span></i></div><br /><p>I have collected a few of the old Chaos Beastmen, but they are rare and if available really expensive - I am always on the lookout for them. here are two I painted up: Snake Man from C38 and Hogman from C27:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAvSJDsvezEy6ONzWrGYoxNvbHG150huSJbNcp5VsIOJ65Jm0Ub9lqGxBdrxtupDZksAoirS-oVJQu163MONNkOb0nKW0a6mkaO9HlrBPq0ePunJnaDw4QZK8RoVmJIoZE5PjvJIE_ZSbnHuGQMW2GgelzZ_uPK-qzdzY0LvXQWAuJjbvjEL4XJzaJ=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgAvSJDsvezEy6ONzWrGYoxNvbHG150huSJbNcp5VsIOJ65Jm0Ub9lqGxBdrxtupDZksAoirS-oVJQu163MONNkOb0nKW0a6mkaO9HlrBPq0ePunJnaDw4QZK8RoVmJIoZE5PjvJIE_ZSbnHuGQMW2GgelzZ_uPK-qzdzY0LvXQWAuJjbvjEL4XJzaJ=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><p>But then a friend in Canada sent me two Citadel Runequest Broo from 1982.

Described as a 'new range of defenders of humanity and avengers of injustice' (<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">from Stuff of Legends</span></i>), these minis were created for RPG's but had no rules designed for them when they came out.

It was a skirmish game in which small groups of minis battle each other using (now) well-known rules, like movement, shoot, close combat etc. Steve from the blog Alegis Downport does an excellent post on the rules of this game, which you can find <a href="https://alegisdownport.wordpress.com/2021/06/27/games-workshop-spacefarers/">HERE</a>.

I noticed right away that they truly don't line up, Their feet stick out of the base when you use an old straight slotta base but if you use the the diagonally slitted one, the models don't look good, looking sideways. So I had to make the base big enough to create some space in between each mini.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeRWAmN3To33OIBHBZJLfIKa_PYLMK1ss9ScMLUyORLiApAt_pqemn54NS9GCQcQPHti0mJGjtqp-TDYyjVUppWAvopNP-wJq0aM4KXp3jWoAZUB2dm2nBKrlSx10pQ8_LGrHfvCXerhI/s2048/65128496557__4794909C-54BC-4835-B706-A8D64CF8AF34.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeRWAmN3To33OIBHBZJLfIKa_PYLMK1ss9ScMLUyORLiApAt_pqemn54NS9GCQcQPHti0mJGjtqp-TDYyjVUppWAvopNP-wJq0aM4KXp3jWoAZUB2dm2nBKrlSx10pQ8_LGrHfvCXerhI/w400-h300/65128496557__4794909C-54BC-4835-B706-A8D64CF8AF34.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>I wanted a height difference between the front and back row, so I created a second, raised row and added some stones.

Every base has a broken brick, some stones and the weeds. Below is a short list of the minis with links to the posts where I delved into the history of the mini a bit. </p><p>1.
