Ral Partha Lord Soth, on Foot and Mounted, 11-064, sculpted by Dennis Mize and being sold on EBay for Charity

[72moonglum]

Good evening all you Reaperpaths! 

So tonight I've got an old blister pack of miniatures, a mounted and and foot Lord Soth, sculpted by Dennis Mize for Ral Partha's D & D TSR series from the eighties and nineties.  This is another one of the miniatures that I'm going to be selling on EBay (just listed them a moment ago), and the proceeds of the sale are going to go straight to Melissa Noe, the wife of Michael Noe, Iron Wind Metal's president.  She was diagnosed last year with cancer and their bills are copious even with insurance, so trying to do a bit to help out.

 

Anyhoos, here they are finally, first Lord Soth on foot:

 

 

and then Lord Soth on his loyal steed (not saying the steed has much say in the matter really):

 

 

and here they are together:

 

 

I had a few problems, as I'd mentioned in my little post under the "Painting Tips and Advice" forum, where lots of the chainmail I could see little white holes that just didn't get filled, but spent lots of hours trying to fill them individually and was successful to some degree, and if not under a 3000 x 2000 pixelated photo, you really notice overly the holes.   The other thing that I did was I was able paint the second eye in the Lord Soth on foot, for which I added that close up because I was so happy I was able to get it done. 

 

So crossing my fingers and hope to find a buyer for these two fellas and their horsey.   If you happen to know anybody that collects Partha figures, make sure to mention to them that this is out there, just waiting to find a new owner, and that all money received is pretty much just going to straight to some medical bills for a very nice lady. 

 

Anyhoos, at the very least I hope you all enjoy the paint job!

 

Thanks,

Mark

Yup, a very nice gal, sorry to see this kind of thing happening to her.

Great work on these memorabilia. I like how the horse' eyes and mouth are blazin. The golden edges on the armors are very well done too.

Good luck with the auction and I hope Melissa will get well soon.

[Glitterwolf]

Those look great!

I also love the horse's eyes and mouth!

Gives it an unnatural vibe.

 

Good luck with the auction!

A fantastic set and a great paint job! Hope you get top dollar for them!

Thanks Metalchaos!  I referred back to that nice and classic piece of art that shows Soth and his legions riding behind him.  I had some divergences from the color scheme, the horse is redder than blue, the eyes and mouth are more orange-ish than red.  But it's similar at least!

 

Yeah, hoping she recovers and life returns back to normal for her.

Ol' Lord Soth is an unnatural dude, so I'm glad he's giving off the vibe, thanks!

Thanks Poilu!  Yeah, I have liked this set for quite a long time and glad I had now a chance/reason to paint them up!

Sorry to hear about your friend and good luck. Someone will get a great piece of art and memorabilia.

(TBH I think Soth ended up as one of the more sympathetic - at least better written characters for me)

[Chaoswolf]

Beautiful paint job!

 

I hope they fetch a good price.

It's interesting how Lord Soth appears in the Dragonlance books.  He never comes across as particularly evil, just tragic.  But always thoughtful and surprisingly reasonable and fair.

 

I've always loved these miniatures of Soth, and this paint job is fantastic.  It makes me wish I had some extra money lying around that I just had to spend...

[Smallish_Sam]

Beautifully done! I really love the blue and black cloths!

Thanks, appreciate it, definitely hoping for a nice recovery.

I read the books with Soth in them so long ago and actually my nephew a few years back came over and I gave him most of them to read.  All fun books to be sure!

Yeah, I'm a big proponent of disposable income, wish I had some myself!   At one point I think I'm going to paint something and try to sell it on Ebay so I can afford some more Reaper 6 minis, but that's still a ways into the future.  Need to figure out what to paint first for such an endeavor!

Thanks you very much Smallish Sam, trying to keep him reasonably somber!

Wonderfully done! Fantastic old school look and wonderful work with all that black! I hope the auction went well

Beautiful job, love the delicate armor work.
