An audacity C48 Gargolyes.

 I have always liked the Gargoyles. Growing up in Southern England Gargoyles were always around on the churches and cathedrals, and so seemed a very relatable fantasy creature to me. Citadel's C48 Gargoyles fitted that idea well, but strangely I never got around to collecting them all until the end of last year when I was building up my independent daemon army (that's another blog update!) and required more lesser daemons. 

The miniatures are lovely. They come in two parts, a body and a random set of wings, which allows for a certain variation. Separate plastic shields were also required. For painting I chose a stone colour to suggest, well stone really! I did consider a more sandstone colour to suggest some of the local churches, but I opted for a more Caen stone seen on a lot of local Anglo-Norman churches. The bases are the base design style I am going to be using for my Chaos Daemons and much of my 3rd Edition Warhammer Fantasy Battle Chaos miniatures. 

They were fun to paint. I like them and would like to pick up a few more, although my available money for miniatures is being directed to my 1980's Middle Earth project which I am currently basing. 

Enjoy :)

The C48 Gargoyles range. 
These are slotta based, and I think they date from 1985 as they are post pre-slotta, and appear in Citadels Compendium 3. 

The full set.
The collective noun for Gargoyles is an 'audacity'.

The next update could be on anything. I have been rebasing a lot of 3rd Edition Fantasy Battle miniatures, and I have also started painting some 1980s LOTR ME range Orcs.
