Ral Partha Foot Knight with sword

So this miniature was acquired twice. Once unpainted and the other painted from the Games Workshop cabinet at Dalling Rd, Hammersmith. I just recently painted the other miniature and here are the comparisons of both, my painted version in purple and the one painted from the cabinet in a pinky red. Sculpted by Dennis Mize (who sadly passed away in 2006).

So now for the really confusing cataloguing of this miniature. The base are stamped with Ral Partha and dated 1979. The reference numbers are:

Ral Partha Adventurers 98-002 (F)

Ral Partha RP4 Adventurers (F-03) Fighter 3

Footsore Miniatures SKU: TEMP001 Knight Hospitalier - Order of Saint John

Footsore Miniatures SKU: TEMP001 Knight Hospitalier - Order of Saint John 

Painted near enough to what is shown on Footsore Miniatures.

The Order of Knights of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem, commonly known as the Knights Hospitallers or the Order of Saint John, was a medieval and early modern Catholic military order.

Went for a very dirty shield.

WizKids Critical Role Core Spawn Crawlers miniatures

Well I need some alien ripping crawler monsters for a Mothership RPG scenario ( The Screaming on the Alexis from the Dead Planet mini campaign) I was running F2F (Face to Face). So I thought these WizKids Critical Role Core Spawn Crawlers (Wave1) miniatures were very appropriate. Plus I could use them for future scenarios for other settings. Pretty much happy with the results.

Citadel F4 Mercenaries

Citadel F4 Mercenaries (1986 - 1988) shown in White Dwarf #94. F4 (M-06) Simkin on the left and F4 (M-02) Perkin on the right. After acquiring these miniatures at the time (late 1980s), I eventually got to paint them for a game of Dee Sanction. Pretty much happy with the results.

Ground Zero Games ‘Alien’ Nostromo Crew Spacesuit (I think)

 I think this miniature is from Ground Zero Games (their website has been updated but with no images at the moment June 2023, of this miniature). The lack of information is because of passage of time,  I’m sure I purchased this miniature in the 1980s. Obviously the reason for acquiring this miniature is because’Alien’ is my favourite film and at the time no manufacturer had created anything close to the wonderful Moebius designed spacesuit. Nowadays especially with 3D printing, there are much better examples out there which I’m sure I’ll purchase. Anyway here after soo many years is the painted example of to my knowledge the first Alien Nostromo spacesuit in miniature.

Citadel C100 Spacefarers (NOT painted by me)

When the original Games Workshop in Hammersmith became a Warhammer shop and the old Citadel miniatures were discontinued, I was lucky enough to acquire a few painted miniatures from the amazing glass cabinet displaying all the miniatures available to buy. I have to emphasise that I did not paint these miniatures.

The 2 miniatures shown are Citadel Spacefarers C100 range, sub range C100/2 Pirates & Adventurers:   S9 Adventurer with Autolaser (left) (sculpted by Michael Perry) and S19 Street Rebel with Machine Pistol (right) (sculpted again by Michael Perry).

Another 2 (the last in my collection from the shop’s cabinet) are C100/1 Citizens, S3 Star Marshall with laser rifle (right) (sculpted by Michael Perry) and C100/4 Rebel Warriors, S26 Rebel Trooper with Missile Launcher (left) (sculpted by Michael Perry). Again not painted by myself.
