Happy Little Accidents

Back in early January, I posted about painting minis from my 1/72 collection. Over the course of January and February, I did end up painting quite a bit. I hadn't posted about them because I hadn't taken many pictures. But today, I did take some pictures for the TTRPG in Korea Discord group I'm in, and I figured I'd share these little rascals here as well.

I painted one set of Cyclopes and a set of Minotaurs, both from Red Box Dark Alliance. I didn't take a picture of them today, so that will have to wait. 

Then I finally painted the Caesar Goblins that I bought I'm not sure how many years ago. Maybe 10? These goblins look cool, but they're only wearing loin clouts, so I think I do need more goblins with armor on them. The easy way to distinguish these guys are the color coding on their loin clouts.


Then, I got some more of the Red Box historical Russian War Monk Artillery, and some figures from Strelets' Vikings and Scotish Army of Wallace sets that I bought way back around the time I got the Caesar goblins. The war monks make good magic-users/clerics, and the others became a mix of possible clerics (mace/club/war hammer in hand) and fighter-types. A few of the war monks were painted and shown in that post linked above from back in January. 

The Fighters

The Clerics

The Magic-Users

 

No, I don't have enough Thief types. I have an order pending with Michigan Toy Soldier Company, which includes the Red Box Dark Alliance "Southern Kingdom Rangers" (based on Faramir's Rangers of Ithillien) and some more goblins with armor.

Just at the end of the winter break, I but a base coat on my Red Box DA Half-Orcs (based on Saruman's uruk-hai from the movies), but I haven't had time to paint any more than that the past two months. 

For the Discord, I also posted a couple of reference pictures to show the scale of these guys. If you're using Reaper, WotC/Wizkids, or other similar scale minis, these guys can be halfings or gnomes. Here's the WotC Warduke mini next to a goblin and the Macho Man wizard (The resemblance was not intentional, it was the happy little accident of all this painting!).
