I... don't have an end to that joke...
But I did finish painting a few miniatures this weekend...
Wizard and a Halfling Assassin
The Wizard is from Hasslefree miniautres... and now as I'm preparing to post this, I see some things that I missed... ugh...
The Halfling (that I am calling an assassin). I'm pretty sure this one is a reeeeeeeally old Ral Partha miniature!
It is tiny, compared to most other halflings... (as are most of the Ral Partha Halflings I have... I was thinking I'd use most as halfling children or teens!?)
but they are not compared to their nemesis, other halfling assassin I have (I have no idea WHERE this one came from... I thought maybe it was Heresy minaitures, but when I went to check and confirm, could not find?!)
Despite their diminutive nature, they are the two most deadly assassins in the realm!
While working on the Wizard and Halfling, I ended up rebasing and touching up (and partially re-painting) a number of other mediaeval fantasy types for a little plan I have cooking in my brain...
More on that later, though...
Maybe...
It may all come to naught...
Just another excercise in my brain of creating a narrative that nothing ever comes of...

ReplyDeleteMine does that all the time. ha!
Nice painting and fun minis! Yeah, I think I had some Ral Partha dwarves that were very gracile compared to those of many other companies. Reaper tends towards the slender/slight end of the spectrum, too, I feel.
Thanks! Ha-ha! Yeah, I kind of do it with EVERY miniature I paint... this narrative just got a little MORE developed! And sometimes that's enough for me...
DeleteYeah, I definitely think of backstories, characters, scenarios, etc., while painting minis. Same - sometimes that's enough. I do want to try some of the ideas one of these days, though. :)
DeleteFor sure!
DeleteI've got loads of Ral Partha dwarves which I would have to use as halflings, they're so small!
