Three Fighters Walk Into a Bar...

I found a few Citadel CO1 Fighters from 1985 that are shown in the Third Citadel Compendium and decided to paint them up. Compared to earlier Perry sculpted miniatures these are distinctly below par and demonstrate that not everything that is old is necessarily any good... :-(

First off is Beowulf the Bezerk, an unusual barbarian type wearing a breast plate of armour with a G-string and posing pouch. You have to wonder what the sculptor was smoking...

Next is Angus Hardheart a reasonable enough Dark Ages type fighter with a ridiculously overscale spear (I thought these telegraph pole spears had died out with Minifigs in the seventies). Perhaps we could be generous and say it is a dragon hunting spear?

Finally a female fighter, called Erlic in the Compendium. A very bland average figure...
