Citadel Miniatures Dungeons & Dragons Starter Sets

[TheOldGuard]

I've been looking to do a WIP for a while now but couldn't quite think what to do. So, after going through my collection of oldies, I decided to give this a crack:

 

 

This was an old set of D&D Dungeon Adventurers by Citadel Miniatures & contained 8 character class minis plus a treasure chest. I started painting these many, many, many years ago but didn't get very far & never quite finished, as this pic shows.......

 

 

 

also, whilst rummaging through my oldies, I found the partner set:

 

 

which contains these D&D Monsters:

 

 

and they go together, so I guess I'll have to do them all......

 

 

 

 

I am a very slow methodical painter & speed painting is unknown to me so if you're interested in following this to see how it ends, you may want to prepare yourself for a long haul!

 

Comments are always welcome, many thanks!

Are there any dates on these boxes?

I'm ready to hurry up and wait.

Those look like rather good minis given how old they are...

The boxes have a TSR copywrite mark at 1983 but I think that the minis were actually released in 1985.

Very nice collection. I look forward to seeing them finished.

[Darsc Zacal]

From a time when men were real men, women were real women, and miniatures were real LEAD!  

 

Can't wait to see how these turn out.

They look great, I recently saw a badly painted set and decided they were too far gone to try and save them.

 

I can't wait to see what you do on these.

LOL! It is wierd though, how there are no female minis in these sets, sign of the times I guess.

Likely because in those days, the stereo-type all male geek squads were the only ones role playing, with few exceptions!

(At least where I lived!)
