Here's my 2nd acquisition in my quest for vintage 25mm miniatures: Sorry for the blurry pic, I grabbed from the Ebay listing. Not too shabby; came to $47 with shipping. Sealed, unopened, mint!  A few months back I scored a Grenadier set; Dungeon Explorers for ~45. Box was old, opened and some of the figures were a bit worn out, but they were unpainted. I also got a couple of re-cast sets from Megaminis; the Grenadier classics. Sometimes mid-life crises can be fun!

Ah yes, the Steam Cannon - I had one, back in the day. Used it a lot with the first edition of Battle System by TSR. On the other side was a War Machine that used a dragon skull as its front shield, also by Ral Partha.  The Auld Grump |

Ooo, I must do a search for that War Machine set ...errm, after I finish painting the 50+ figures I have sitting on my shelf mocking me and my lack of free time I'm currently about halfway thru the Dungeon Explorers set, but my speed at painting has been picking up lately, just need to 're-learn' some techniques from 20+ years ago

Welly well! I come home from work this morning, checked the mailbox and lo & behold; it hath arrived: I was a bit worried when I heard some un-nerving clanking from inside the box; and even more so when I saw that the set came packed in a styrofoam clamshell insert! Luckily, no damage to the figures whatsoever. I had to bend back in shape the vent on the boiler, and the ram hangy-type thingy, but that's to be expected for an almost 30 year old metal casting Very clean set too, a few light flash lines here and there, but overall I'm VERY happy I got this  Will update this thread with pics of the Dungeon Explorers when the whole set is painted, then pics of this set when it's done.
