Revisiting the 1980s: RR3 Grom’s Goblin Guard
I’m not generally given to nostalgia, and I’ve tried to avoid the Oldhammer tendency of gamers of my age to go and re-buy their teenage collections of Citadel Miniatures from Ebay, but I crumbled when I saw these! In two separate lots in 2023/4, I picked up the original models for Grom and 15 ofContinue reading “Revisiting the 1980s: RR3 Grom’s Goblin Guard”

The Frost Giant’s Daughters? Hornblower 15mm Shield Maidens
These marvellous little minis came to my attention last year when Oz sculptor Mathias started posting works in progress on his Instagram account (@macefaceminiatures). 15mm isn’t my main scale, but I’d enjoyed putting together some Wiglaf and Forged in Battle minis for a recent project and was willing to have a look. Nick at NorthstarContinue reading “The Frost Giant’s Daughters? Hornblower 15mm Shield Maidens”

These are freeContinue reading “December Update 6.12.24”
