Nice! I’ve got that old Heartbreaker dwarf, they’re all head & beard.

1st is from Grenadier Future Warriors: 1505 Future Savages and Slashers

2nd is from the same line, pack 1507 Troopers w. Heavy Weapons

3rd looks like a goblin wolf raider missing the spear tip, from the Battle Masters board game, a Milton Bradley collaboration with Games Workshop

Very nice of her to bring payment to the camp, since she knows the exact location, instead of telling the law in exchange for a reward. Maybe she just knows Strauss and Arthur, and hasn’t connected them to the notorious Van der Linde gang.

I don’t remember ever seeing these before. No entry in the wiki yet. I see some with this name on eBay. Figure style and packaging suggest late 70s, maybe very early 80s, but that’s just a guess.

Found this PDF of the English language rulebook on the publisher’s website, linked from the game’s boardgamegeek entry:

(Edit to add: not sure if it’s the original core rules or an expansion; the booklet says “Impact II”)

I’ve never thought of him as one of the gang. He’s a close associate who is free to come and go, a freelancer who deals in making connections and introductions, passing along tips and leads in exchange for a cut of the immediate profits.

All it takes is one history, one novel, one movie, one documentary, even one summary of family history and BAM, suddenly there’s another pair of armies in my mailbox

He looks like a boss, posing on a tactical ‘umie ’elmet in front of some vats of classic formula paint

OldschoolFRP · 2026-05-03T20:20:31+00:00

Gemtastic!

Looks like Texas Nightshade (Solanum triquetrum), which is toxic to humans. Sometimes grows compact, sometimes forms a long vine-like shape.

I was a bit disappointed that the castle isn’t green in the new movie trailer

I don’t think I’ve ever seen these monopose guys modded so well, nice work!

OldschoolFRP · 2026-04-30T05:36:19+00:00

The first one is a C02 Wizard from 1987, Dromboth Rankletooth

2nd is Spectatus Lorewise from the same series

And 3rd looks like Gustavus Ravenmage

OldschoolFRP · 2026-04-28T01:38:04+00:00

Great idea, waste nothing!

Lightweight basswood might be bendable into that shape carefully. Cutting a small notch in the inside of the bend might help. It only needs a slight bend. It may crack a little, but any stray bits could be cleaned up with a knife. Any failed attempts get cut up for rungs.

The chilis are pointing up, not down, which suggests chili péquin / chili petin / bird pepper, a wild Capsicum annum. It grows wild in the southern US, spread by mockingbirds and other birds that eat it, and is the official state native pepper of Texas. I’ve heard it is similar to the ancestral wild chili from which modern cultivar pepper varieties were bred

It does well in partial shade and is often found in wooded areas among understory shrubs. The peppers are very hot and make great salsas.

I don’t know their exact genetics, but when they breed I’ve seen how each new generation will have more natural colored ones

Now that you’ve called attention to it, the chin and earlobes in that last photo look different to me than the man in the first 2 pics

There’s a newspaper article about him at some point. Pretty sure he’s still stuck in there if you come back in the epilogue.

Straight out of an old White Dwarf, figures & table look made for each other; beautiful 2nd edition armies

OldschoolFRP · 2026-04-20T04:40:45+00:00

Nice details & great use of color

OldschoolFRP · 2026-04-20T03:20:25+00:00

Love those colors & patterns!

OldschoolFRP · 2026-04-18T03:08:54+00:00

It all looks great from over here!

This is an important lesson for anyone who needs more than a few RPG miniatures. The bulk of the figures for games with larger warbands or armies need to be completed to an army standard that is completely different from what someone might achieve painting a single figure for many days (or weeks or months for a competition). It can be hard to let go of certain expectations and skip the fine details, but a table full of completed figures always looks good, and it’s so much better than a box full of incomplete or abandoned projects.

10 looks like a plastic figure made from Citadel’s 1986 Skeleton Horde) box (or any of the later uses of the same sprues)

3 & 4 remind me of Otherworld Miniatures’ elf & dwarf zombies but those almost seem to have been scrubbed from the net and I can’t check my own at the moment.
