more miscellaneous characters for D&D

-

 took a break from painting the wild west miniatures and the buildings i recently got,
i spent the day finishing up some D&D miniatures for this
weekend's campaign finale.

since reading about the spellcasters of Thay in the D&D books,
i was always intrigued and wanted a small coven of wizards
based off of them.

kept with the theme of red robes of sorts and using what would look
like evil looking miniatures,
i picked a tiefling sorcerer to be my leader and also the main villain of
my campaign.


most likely i'll add more to this group as time goes on.



the miniature i used was a Wizkids Frameworks miniature.
a little pricey but they look nice once built and painted.


confronting a spirit of an equally venomous wizard,
the archmage leads the group of necromancers into a battle of wits
with the flameskull.


a death knight from Wizkids.
finally found a leader for all my skeletons.
i almost want to get another set of skeletons just to create a fairly size horde
of bones and weapons.

was gonna add some skulls and such on his base but decided not to.


a regiment of bones and their leader.


another dwarf for the clan.



and recently i bought yet another pack of dwarves.
this particular fellow was holding a 2h mace but it was warped,
so i clipped it off and replaced the hands with a sword and shield.


a fearless group of dwarves stumbles across a half ogre,
time to show him who's boss!

    Terrific collection of figures. I especially liked the death knight and can easily see why you'd have him as a leader of your skeletons (which look excellent too btw). Great paint-job on all of them though. Interesting to see someone buying from Wizkids Frameworks miniature range. They never seem to be touched at my local store and indeed have gone on sale this week - presumably to shift them. They're not GW plastic kit prices but I do feel they're pricey for what they are - so I'd be interested in your thoughts..?

      thank you very much.
      to be honest i only use the Wizkids Frameworks when i want to do a PC for a fellow player in our D&D group or a special character for a campaign. i did break down and get the orc set last year and have yet to paint them. i think its the variety of options is what i like about Frameworks but the cost is a major party pooper.

operation MotU: wave 2

  continuing with the Masters of the Universe figures from CMON with wave two. wave two consists of Man-E-Faces, Ram Man, Evil-Lyn, Faker, Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops, Panthor. for a change of pace i ended up painting a few hover robots since i have a decent amount of them and they were not part of the original toy-line. Heroic Warriors Man-E-Faces is a member of the Heroic Warriors, notable by his distinctive appearance, with his large, blue metal head on which his faces appear in its screen-like opening. His ability is to change his face from his regular human face to that of a robot and a monster. Ram Man is a member of the Heroic Warriors, characterized by his bulky, spring-legged appearance and flat-topped metal helmet. His special ability is to knock opponents or obstacles down with his super-hard helmet. Evil-Lyn attempts to cast a spell at Teela. Evil Warriors Evil-Lyn is an evil witch who aids Skeletor as his second-in-command with her powers of darkness. She is vastly more intelligen

Recovering Artifacts

 today is my girlfriend's birthday. and so i thought it would be nice to host a game to where she and her boys would team up and play as a recovering team that landed on a deserted ship to find artifacts. four teams of three would scour the ship for these items. each item recovered is worth victory points, but the main victory is to survive and escape the ship with the artifacts. i used a modified version of Fistful of Lead for a rule set. with all the excitement and having too much fun and didn't think of taking a lot of pics. but with what pics that were taken, they were taken by Rita, i think she does a better job at it than me. the recovering teams arrive on a elevator. i wanted to have these teams to find the artifacts but have some kind of a resistance. i used the game mechanic of blip markers from the Space Hulk game. i did this because of the shock factor it produces when revealed how many aliens are incoming and the faces of Rita's boys' faces is priceless.

beginning of a boomtown

 been wanting to do a wild west table for a few years now and now i'm finally getting around to do it. i ordered several buildings on Amazon from Atomic Laser Cut Designs. i reckon over time i'll get more to create a small town that will cover at least 4x4 gaming space. i was excited to share my first building i completed this evening which is a saloon. hopefully by the end of the month i'll have the rest done and a battle report or two posted. a show down outside a saloon. easy assembly even without instructions. first set of buildings i had built. i didn't know what color or how to go about painting a wild west building. so i figured my first building should be at least an easy one. i watered down some Apple Barrel acrylic paint, added some black to the and did the doorway and window frames.   same thing for the billboard, watered down some green and black for the lettering.  " you cheated me, you son of a bitch! "
