From the Archive – One Gnarly Figure

Here he is, the Haunter in the Dark, the Black Pharoah himself, Nyarlathotep.  This old RAFM figure is somewhere around 15 years old, from way back when I still used those giant 25-mm figures. Most folks paint that whole big tentacle as a bloody tongue, but I think it’s...

From the Archive – Lizard Bastard

This bastard love child of Godzilla and Grimace goes by the exotic name of Brah’knee.  He is yet another giant monster rampage figure.  Bought for a song from the lone dealer who worked the one gaming convention that I organized while still in grad school right around the turn of...

From the Archive – Ogre Cyclops

Here’s another blast from my college day past.  Just some bargain bin big old dude.  He is ostensibly a 28-mm scale figure, but he is a giant of a figure, standing close to 10-feet tall.  In scale, of course.   Captain Hook One Eye here has also seen use...

From the Archive – Hard and Blurry

Note much to say about this mind-1990s figure except that he has mainly seen use in a giant monster rampage style game.  Not even sure what manufacturer makes this guy.  RAFM?  He stands easily twice as tall as most 25mm-ish figures, so it’s acutally a giant cyclops skeleton....

From the Archive – Big Red

You know what goes great with leftover Turkey?  Old miniatures! Every collection of wargame miniatures needs at least one dragon. This one marks the first time that I was able to get the shading on the color red done right.  For some reason it took a big canvas and...

From the Archive – The Splice

Another Saturday night, and it looks like the archives are getting to be a regular feature around here. These little critters are examples of the Space Lice you can get from Irregular Miniatures for something like a buck and half each.  Like most of Irregular’s miniatures, they look awful in...

From the Archive – Lost in the Maze of Nostalgia

Pop quiz, hotshot.  From the Archive is an ongoing series:     A. where I show off some of my oldest and most beloved figures.     B. of filler posts.     C. Both A and B.     D. screw you. Warren, I didn’t come here for finals week, make with...

From the Archive – Space Rangers

Last week was nice – showing off a couple of really old figures from the attic box.  Here’s another figure from way back in the early days of painting.    The chunky plastic flying the colors of my alma mater is a Space Ranger.  Back in the day...
