I'm now stuck in the corner of the section 2 with no maritime or statues to paint. Library Paladin to the rescue! This is a Ral Partha Paladin (11-010b) from 1990 and she is most likely tracking the Swamp Witch, who helped me earlier...

I did have a plan, I told you, and the plan (and the lack of suitable minis) requires me to travel to the Local History topic and this Paladin will lead me there. One part of my plan was to prime several female minis to make it easier to travel in the Library and that has worked so far - and plenty of more left.

| I like how the sculptor has managed to sculpt her hair on her right side, it is actually flowing and in the first photo it casts a nice shadow on her face |
This mini has been sold as a two mini blister in the 1990s, but since this is a second hand mini and I have not properly catalogued my unpainted minis, I don't know if I have the male Paladin somewhere. This bit of randomness is kind of good thing, painting a single mini is always a different task than going through a unit.

So far I have painted old metal minis from Grenadier (and Julie Gutherie), Mithril and now Ral Partha in addition to quite historical GW Predator. I wonder what other old fantasy producers shall I find in the coming weeks. :)
I went again for an earthly palette, which fit well with my brown basing I'm using for fantasy figs in general. So quite a lot of greys, greens and browns on this mini, too. There will be more colours in the future, I promise. :)

| Edit: Adding the map, again... I was hoping to add another thing to this post, too, but then time run out and I just marked this draft as ready and forgot the map. :) |
Sylvain: A very elegant Female Paladin, Paladin Woman, Paladine (?). It's good to see you plowing forward with your "plan". I like the texture of your base, it provides background without overwhelming the model. Lady Sarah will be pleased, indeed!
P.S. Don't forget to include your Library Map😁.
