My significant other is in a songing competition this weekend, and I’m along for moral support. ::D:

 

Knowing that I would have some quiet time, I brought my travel paint kit and some miniatures. On the left are five Broadsword rangers, and on the right three Minifigs true orcs. The orcs are part of my Mythical Earth warbands project, but the Broadsword figures are a one-off.

 

I didn’t have any Broadsword back in the day. Apparently none of the hobby shops I visited stocked them. My first encounter with them was in larger eBay lots while fishing for other old figures. I ended up with four of these archers in a large lot early in my eBay history, and then went looking for the command/personality pack later.

 

I painted the swordsman/captain and the ranger-bard last summer.

Now that they are almost all done, I hope to get them out as a unit of scouts in a Dragon Rampant game soon.

And a few more orcs.

 

They are intended to be my Misty Mountain orcs command stand.

      Mixed bag
      By Rob Dean
      After yesterday's work on the Bones 4 scenics, I dug around and finished off the first of a set of resin buildings I got from an Apocalypse Miniatures Kickstarter a year or two back:
       

       

       
      I also finished basing up a seriously vintage (ca. 1974) Minifig Ent:
       

       

       
      And, finally touched up basing and finished off my Gencon speed paints:
       

       

       
      From left to right, a Word preliminary round figures, a Reaper preliminary round, a Wyrd final round, and a Reaper final round. (So, 45 minutes on the preliminaries and 60 minutes on the finals...I added names to the two preliminaries; retitled the Word final, and attached the Reaper final to a Frostgrave-themed snow and rock base.)

      Archive 820 Wolfrunners
      By Rob Dean
      So, in the course of loading my miniatures onto the storage shelves last weekend, I opened a box of partially painted figures to find this group.  Sold by Archive in the late '70s, I've owned these since then.  My original paint job on them was unappealing enough that I didn't end up rebasing them in the great rebasing I undertook in the late '90s, and they languished until I started reworking vintage fantasy stuff from my collection around 2015.  Unfortunately they have been languishing again since then, so when I found them this weekend, I decided to dry brush the heck out of them and base them up for gaming.

      Lost Minis Wiki question, extra pieces in old set
      By Pingo
      So, as I mentioned, I was given a pristine old Grenadier set of Champions supervillains for Christmas.
       
      On the cover is a little splash logo: “FREE Starter Scenario Game Aid and Figure Accessories”
       
      The “Starter Scenario Game Aid” is just a folded piece of paper with a hex map on one side and some suggestions on the other.
       
      But the “Figure Accessories” are two actual, substantial molded pieces: a pair of rockets and what I think is a hover-scooter.
       
      You can see them in the middle row on the far right, between two figures, here:
      https://mobile.twitter.com/AchronalA/status/1078009215850029058
       
      These two pieces are not pictured on the box art, nor are they listed in the set description.
       
      They definitely go with the set. The box was sealed when I received it.
       
      They are not mentioned nor shown on the Lost Minis Wiki page of the set: 
      http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/lostminiswiki/index.php?title=Champions_(Grenadier)#4002_Super_Villains_Box_Set
       
      Question: Should I document and upload pictures of these accessories to the wiki?

      Adina “Hill Giants”
      By Rob Dean
      Following the muse today, I set aside my vintage Minifigs orcs for these two Adina hill giants. 
       

       
      I’ve had one of the rock throwers for many years, although I didn’t know what it was for a long time, but recently managed to pull this pair off of eBay. 
       
      I started with the club-wielder:

       

       
      There isn’t a lot to them, so both are now waiting while base treatments dry.
       
      I should have them varnished by tomorrow. 
       
      I’ll put Sir Forescale in the next picture. Even for 1978 these weren’t the tallest giants around...

      Broadsword Rangers
      By Rob Dean
      Finally varnished these guys today...as noted last weekend, they amount to a packet of Broadsword P11 and P12 each, and were acquired in a couple of different eBay purchases. 
       
      Since they had some fun and interesting figures back in the day (~1980) and I didn’t have any of them, I conclude that none of my local hobby shops carried the line.
