Grendier: Druid

This is the Druid (not to be confused with the “Druid with Dart” from the same set…) from the Grenadier Wizards Box Set 2001.

This druid takes a different approach, preferring the sword-and-board style. The set insert that I have has this listed as a druid, but I’m sure that in another insert this mini was listed as “fighter/magic-user.” He is a simple mini; mostly just robes and hat. I did my best to push up the contrast on him with the highlighting so that he wouldn’t be so drab and monotone.

Games Workshop: Sword 11

This was one of my favorites as a teenager.  I did not like the snake motif way back then, so I cut the snake off his helm and painted him all black with some silver trim.  This time around, I recreated the snake with a paperclip and Testor’s Contour Putty to re-sculpt it. I used hot glue to make flames on the sword.  The shield is stuck to his fist by a round knob on his hand and circular hole in the shield.  I incorporated that hole by painting an eye motif on the shield.
