Citadel 28mm C25 Minotaurs - Titus Oxbreath

Another one of my long half-painted miniatures reaches completion. This particular release of C25 Minotaurs from 1987 had separate heads. The body is Egen Oxbreath, and the head is from Titus Twinblades.









Age of wonders 40mm Battlelore knight - a.k.a. Hairy Growler

I received this sample Battlelore miniature from the Age of Wonders stand at Essen SPIEL on one of my relatively recent visits, but it was the addition of a character to our DnD party that prompted his painting. Bluey skin and an impressive stature mark Hairy Growler out as a Goliath.

Citadel 25mm Spacefarers S38 Imperial Marine officer with laser pistol

The Spacefarers range had its own set of miniatures rules, drawn heavily from Bryan Ansell's 'Laserburn' set. These are the first space marines that Citadel made, though they are tiny compared to today's offerings.









Citadel 25mm Spacefarers S37 Imperial marine on jump scooter

Precursor to the 'Space marine on Jet Bike' concept. from 1979.







Citadel 25mm Spacefarers S33 Imperial marine advancing with laser rifle

Still heavily influenced by star wars when I painted these in about 1980. They featured in the GW Sheffield cabinet from 1982 until the range expired.

Who wouldn't wear a mushroom hat, given the chance? Another display model from the early eighties, rebased later.









Citadel 25mm Spacefarers S11 Adventuress with laser pistol

A very early paint job on this 1979 miniature. She lived in the GW Sheffield cabinet in the early eighties.
