An unexpected surprise

 This is the first of three posts about some models I was gifted by my friend Luca.

One of his coworker is a long time D&D player and gave him, a while back, a little box of old miniatures because Luca is a very active (and very good) game master of all sorts of Rpgs.

Luca, when I came back from Canada, gave that box to me since I am the miniatures guy in our gaming group.

The figures had a quite good paint job, but is a slightly dated style, so I gave them a wash and a few highlights to modernize them a bit and stuck them on some bases to make handling them safer.

There were three batches of figures, this is the first one, a bunch of old Ral Partha, Grenadier and Metal Magic pieces for The Call of Cthulhu.

They are a great addition to mine and IlVJ collections, really lovely models, many thanks to Luca and his coworker for their generosity.

I'll try to put these to good use as soon as possible.
