Painting the ancient and the rare...


OK folks, this is a set of very old (and, I am told, very rare) miniatures from the old Citadel range called Pan Tangeans.  Obviously, these were not the most detailed sculpts ever made.  They were not the easiest figures to paint, that's for sure...


I don't remember why they were all painted in various color schemes, but that was the request, I believe.


The tigers were interesting, at least. :-)


I am pretty sure these were painted back in 2005, so that represents a little ancient history for me as well!


I guess I will keep running across crazy galleries like these for a little while!

  1. Cool! Pan Tang was a country in Moorcock's "Elric" saga, with the Pan Tangean sorcerer Theleb K'Aarna being a villain for a time. I was just about to comment about it being odd it would be today for Citadel to license IP instead of licensing *their* IP until I remembered the LotR/Hobbit line. Derp.

    1. I really didn't know what these guys were... ;-) The buyer sent me a message about these, and said they were super rare.
