The Fantastic Worlds of Grenadier Supplement
As I've mentioned in previous posts, I was a huge fan of miniatures company Grenadier Models headed by Andrew Chernak and Ray Rubin back in the 80's. They not only produced superb lines of quality miniatures for such varied products as AD&D, Call of Cthulhu, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Masters of the Universe (to name a few), but they also developed innovative lines such as their Dragon of the Month, Masterpiece Editions, Giant's Club, and more. They established a strong bond with their customers, based on their Grenadier Bulletin newsletter, contests, promotions, and competitions. When their company folded in the late 90's, for their fans it was a sad event, although Andrew moved on to bigger and better things, producing life sized bronze statues, movie props, and more, so there was a proverbial happy ending to the tale.
In 2016, Terence Gunn, fan extraordinaire, produced the Fantastic Worlds of Grenadier, a historical homage to the company, exploring their history, and their products, with pictures and interviews galore. I was lucky to connect with him, and now his follow-up work, The Fantastic Worlds of Grenadier Supplement, is out! More pictures, more insider info, and a condensed collection of every single Grenadier Bulletin from the 1980's-1990's, including a wonderful interview with Kim Eastland, Grenadier's early public relations manager, who also was the 'Bulletin's editor for its first five issues!
Lastly, I was able to humbly contribute some scans of a few 'Bulletins to the project, and was gratefully acknowledged in the book by Terence. Seeing my name among the biggies like Andrew and Kim - what else could a Grenadier fan desire?! If you enjoy miniatures, nostalgic for the old' 70's-80's era of gaming/miniature collecting, or just a fantasy/sci-fi gaming fan, you have to get this!!
