Random Minis for RPGs
Tonight I discovered an unexpected boon to having everything catalogued. I knew I wanted to work on something whilst I caught up with some YouTube but I didn’t have any set plans. Low and behold, I now have a spreadsheet I can flip through to come up with something. I decided to pull out the box of RPG minis and see what took my fancy.
First up was some Moonclan grots. At some point they have been intended as an archery unit for an AOS army but I abandoned those plans a couple of years ago. I kept these twenty because I figured at some point I’ll use them in an RPG campaign of a game like Rangers of Shadowdeep.
Tonight I focused on getting a few arms swapped to a nice mix of melee and ranged and getting everyone on bases.
Next up was an old Orc chariot. I wanted each piece to be useable separately so there’s actually a cart, two orcs and two boars. I’m debating basing the cart to use as a piece of scatter terrain but I think I already have something similar so I might just leave it for now.
Unfortunately the weather is awful so I don’t know when I’ll get them primed. At some point I’ll need to look into brush on primer!
Each piece can be used by itself or loosely put together 
Don’t be shy about getting a cheap airbrush to prime. I’ve only used mine for winter priming and it’s been worth every penny.
Eventually I will but I don’t have the money. I’ve given myself a soft promise to see about one for next Christmas
Or you could do what I do and “reinvest” the money in hobby after you sell something. ? (Definitely not saying that’s either the smart thing to do or a way to achieve your stated objective of hobby sanity)
Haha I have thought about it for sure, unfortunately there’s no such thing as disposable income for some time to come. Once I get my flat sorted and a flatmate moved in that’ll hopefully change then getting one is fairly high on the list!
