In my hour of need, I come now before you -- the most overqualified miniatures people on the net. Long story short: While antiquing with the wife, I was amazed to find some old Grenadier miniatures for sale at an antique mall for a couple bucks each. Naturally, I snatched 'm up. Two in particular, I need some help with. They are a (D&D style) troll and a Shambling Mound, direct from the first edition Monster Manual. I know these minis were in one of the D&D boxed sets from Grenadier… because I had them, when I was, I dunno, twelve. Can anyone tell me which set or sets these minis came from? Perhaps some box art, year of production? For archival purposes? |

Were they from 2010 Denizens of the Swamp perchance? link |

Great link, ZZ. I love those old Grenadier minis. My first foray into the gaming world. |

Glad I could help, I still pick them up and paint/play with them in games. |

Mighod. They have a WIKI for this, now? Yes, that's them. Thanks for the link. I also got the bard from the Specialists pack… another blast from the past. |

Great link and great find! Years ago, I found that "Specialists" box at a flea market for $1 USD – and I still have them somewhere. |

Well, let's just say these days I'm a tad more enthusiastic about antiquing with the wife… |

I concur! I can never find anything even half that cool. |

Good find. Still have some of those around. |
