Talisman(!?): The Minstrel and The Pilgrim

These are two old Citadel Minatures Talisman figures. I've had them since the late80s/early 90s. They may have been painted before, but then stripped about a decade ago when I decided to strip and reapaint most of the miniatures I had from that period. Or, like many other from that period, I may have never gotten around to finishing them and they were only ever half-painted. Regardless, they are painted (or possibly repainted) now! 

The Minstrel and The Pilgrim

I've painted these now to use as passengers on the Grungi's Face, the airship the Heroes in my in-person Soulbound campaign have been flying to Brightspear on. As with the Arkanaut company, they are finished a week late for the first major encounter.. Ah, well... They will be there for the rest of the adventure... unless they die.. Which would be sad, as I've imagined entire characters for them now and hoped they might pop in and out of the campaign as recurring NPCs! 

I have to admit, I only ever played Talisman once, and I was not a fan... I never bought these (or any of the other Talisman figures I bought around that time) with the intention of using them in Talisman. They were just interesting characters that I thought might be useful in games - especially role-playing or skirmish games!

  1. Nice work!
    Yeah, these kinds of figures can make for good NPCs, bystanders, etc.

    1. Thanks!

      Were there piles of different wizards you could play in Talisman? Or do you have piles of the same plastic wizard?! I did not realize they made plastic minis for Talisman! I guess I should not be surprised that there were!
