Big box of old lead - endless possibilities or just wasted money?

Hello all,

As I've painted all the zombies, survivors and the sons have completed the Heroquest figures (more or less), I have been forced into opening up the big box of unpainted (or poorly painted) lead.
I'll be delving into it over the next year (I think) and I'm actually looking forward to painting some of these old "friends" again.
Anyways, thought I would share a few pictures of the box and the first batch of figures destinied to have their paint stripped:

Old, Games, Workshop, Miniatures, strip, paint, remove

First lot for the paint stripper - 9 Deamonettes, a few Plaguebearers, Chaos Warriors and a large cloud giant.
If anyone knows which company made the giant and whether or not the Orc below him is a Games Workshop mini (I believe it is) I would appreciate the information.

Big, box, of unpainted, lead,


 Lots of nice minis in there, don't think there are any that are worth the hassle of Ebaying them, but they will be fun to paint.
This unfortunate Troll suffered a brutal knee injury as he was freed from his base - I wonder if it will regenerate on its own?

All the best,
Kasper

    1. Hi Hans, sure looks like a lot of fun, now if only the paintstripper would do its thing more quickly :-).

  4. A real score. Definitely repaint them and show them off.

    1. Hi Sean,
      Stay tuned and they will appear. I've been testing how to paint the daemonettes (on an orc...) so once the paint has been removed they should be up quickly. I'm planning on using them for a Dark Elf Blood Bowl team :-).
      All the best,
      Kasper
