I never tried RuneQuest before, it's probably the only big name RPG system I am unfamiliar with, but I do love Japan and I found it pretty cheap on EBay.
This guy just looked cool.
Him too. Can't have too many bad-ass looking Cleric types, eh?
This might as well be EXACTLY the same set I got as kid, the same Slinger miniature is missing, replaced by the same Thief from the Thieves boxed set. Only other downside is the Look-Out's spearhead is broken off, but they were always kind of the useless mini in the box anyway.
I never owned these guys back in the day, they belonged to my buddy Tim McD. so these guys are kind of a new purchase for me rather than a repurchase. I have to say, aside from the guy whose legs are severed, which actually looks like a mold defect; and the missing crossbow for the Light Crossbowman, this is probably the best shape I have seen a set of these Grenadier Fighting Men in for decades; usually all the spear guys and pole-arms are broken. It'll be nice to have my old Mandark mini back too- he's the guy with the battle-axe and the kite shield on his back.
Best thing- both Grenadier sets .99 cents each, sold with out the original box; is the box really that important?
Great haul!
