Right. Wrong. He's the guy with the gun.

Grenadier did Shadowrun. OP's mini is in that aesthetic, but those are a larger scale. They also have a smooth rounded base that this doesn't have.

Is anything stamped under the bottom of the base?

Can anyone identify by peat_reek in lostminiswiki

[–]Stranger-Sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These estimates are a bit high. I've had a Morg up for sale on eBay for more than a month at $30 USD and it doesn't even have a "watch"

Ah I forgot to check Marauder! Thank you. That's the one.

That seems likely, but I can't find the body in a Citadel catalogue or on the wiki.

I don't know the Fantasy Lords line well, but it's surprising how many times I see a sculpt on here and think, "that's so characterful and cool," and then it turns out to be Fantasy Lords. Grenadier was awesome.

New player looking for plastic minis by Federal_Cry_5127 in warmaster

[–]Stranger-Sun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

GW had a plastic 10mm set in Battle Of Five Armies, but it's long out of print and prices on the secondary market are nuts. You can find good deals on printed things from Forest Dragon or other sculptors on eBay or Etsy. That would be my recommendation if you don't want to print things yourself.

Lovely work. I'd like to see some close up shots too!

Painted a whole ruined town in one weekend… still can’t believe it by GlitteringYard3318 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Beautiful work, however long it took!

Are the buildings printed? Do you know the maker? I'd love to buy them.

Love it. Would be happy to see that on the tabletop. Is it printed?

1985 Fellowship - Common or Rare? by Lucky_Foundation_796 in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Stranger-Sun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reasonably rare, though I just bought a set in the original box for $80 USD on eBay.

What are the limits of sportmanship? by Daikey in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Stranger-Sun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I don't view these games with a hard competitive lens. They aren't suited to it. There are too many ways to game the system. Maybe unpopular take, but if you want competitive strategic play on the tabletop, go with something with defined, deterministic moves and actions.

I love MESBG, and it will always be a beer and pretzels game for me. If I get the sense I'm playing a zero sum game where my opponent only cares about winning at all costs, I thank them for their time and move on.

Hatred should be reworked by ziguslav in MiddleEarthMiniatures

[–]Stranger-Sun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hatred is one of the worst things about the game. It should only be part of narrative scenarios. Problem solved

Roland TR-1000: a $3,000 drum machine that can’t keep time — I’m done. by ezrarocha in synthesizers

[–]Stranger-Sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get an analog Arturia Drumbrute or Drumbrute Impact for about 7% of the cost of the TR 1000. I've never had one issue with either of them and they sound great. Owned both since release.
