old Citadel Chaos Snake Men

-
recently received a handful of fantasy miniatures from a good friend and to my surprised,
in the bunch were several very old Citadel figures.
these miniatures were out before i even played Warhammer back in 1996.
after doing some research, these miniatures came out in 1985.
they were called Chaos Snakemen.


 while i was looking these up on the net, was hoping to find a pic from an old Citadel catalog.
to find a catalog pic like this was really cool, knowing these came out when i was five years old.



matching the miniatures to the pic i was missing only one,
the S'lon Life Smasher.
but to be honest i don't mind. just having these is a real treat. i love old Citadel miniatures.


to be honest the sculpts were a pain in the ass to figure out where armor ended and other pieces of clothing began. but overall i am pleased how these came out and hopefully i can have them on the table soon.

    Nicely done dude! The red suits them and gives a nice contrast to the armour.

Knights of Kirin

after i painted my orc warbands for the ORCtober challenge, i pulled together a miscellaneous group of villainous proportion. i had this group painted for a few months, but only now came around to take pics and post them on here. and i figure since i am going through a fantasy themed moment might as well post now. i wanted this group a very mix of characters and races, and what can to be was a group of humans, beastmen, and an orc. Knights of Kirin. Mordek has hired some muscle to aid him in finding the mythical Wyrmrest Blade. some say it is lost forever in time, but forbidden texts reads that a powerful wizard knows the whereabouts of it. a seer of the dark magik, Kirin Tenebris. Malagor, a beastman banished from his tribe. Brak, orc mercenary of the Bad Moon clan Wulfrik, a Chaos champion. Roshakuna, a minotaur who is in service to Kirin Tenebris and also disliked by Malagor.

 for those who take time and read on what little ole me is doing with my tabletop hobby and projects like to say thank you for least taking an interest in what i do, and i hope everyone is having a safe and merry christmas and happy holidays. the most wonderful woman in my life surprised me this christmas with a new edition to my tabletop terrain collection and got me the Castle set from Tenfold Dungeon. just like the Temple set but only a more darker tone and more gothic setting. with the new addition of this set i'll be able to upgrade my game instead of using the 2D dungeon tiles i made back in 2022. another great product. i apologize for the way these pics came out, i was sitting on the opposite side of the game table than i normally do when taking pics hence i believe why these pics are slightly darker. a few heroes has cornered a death knight. creeping in the courtyard, the ghost of Sir Maldred, the Red Dragon appears. a dragonborn necromancer casts spells to march forth into

race to the temple - Fistful of MotU

 was able to get a small game of Fistful of Lead yesterday. i created rosters of Master of the Universe characters using various FFoL rule sets. at first i thought this was a cool idea but then as time went on I doubted myself, had to just see what would happen on the table top. layout of the table. making it simple i wanted to do a game of pulp adventures but i haven't gamed with my MotU figures yet so i changed my mind but kept the table set-up the same. and once again i am gaining more mileage out of these Tenfold Dungeon sets then i thought it would. the Heroic Warriors, Man-at-Arms, Ram man, Orko, He-Man, Stratos, and Man-E-Faces (l to r). the Evil Warriors, Skeletor, Trap Jaw, Beast Man, Tri-Klops, Evil-Lyn, Mer-Man (l to r). turn one opened up as Man-at-Arms took some shots at Skeletor. the rest of the groups advance from each other's side of a temple. Orko cast a push back spell and sent Skeletor and Beast Man backwards. thwarting their movement towards the main temple.
