D&D Miniatures – Invisible Stalker

Many years ago in the late 70s and 80s I had a lot of D&D miniatures. What exactly happened to them I am not sure – their fate is lost in the dim dark past. As a change from painting Napoleonics and Zulus I thought I would have a go at modelling and painting some new ones.

First cab off the rank is this Invisible Stalker. I used to have the old Grenadier version but acquiring one of those is pretty hard these days – they are almost impossible to find. So I made one myself, and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it turned out. Without bragging too much I think it is some of my best brushwork to date.

    Lovely work Brian. I hope you don’t think I’m having a go here, but is it possible you may have missed a bit on the Stalker’s top left shoulder (just beside the equipment strap)?

    It could just be reflection or a trick of the light, of course…

      There is always at least one button counter.

    Excellent work. You painted the invisibility so well that one could think there is nothing on the base.

    Funny thought: Could you paint a miniature up as a dungeon wall so that it fuses with the background?

      I don’t see why not. You should see my Flames of War “Gone to Ground” bases.

    […] Without a doubt though, the highlight of this month was the reception of my first D&D Miniature. I was really happy how it came out and many people suggested that I should enter it in painting competitions. I did this awesome D&D Invisible Stalker. […]
