Orcus, the Blood Lord

-

 for sometime now i have been debating how what to do for my Dungeons and Dragons
campaign finale as far as the main boss.
and the Wand of Orcus has been the somewhat center piece of what would
become problems for our D&D group for good part of a year now.

and since i like to keep all my D&D miniatures and models exclusively Wizkids,
i was going back and worth on actually getting an Orcus figure.

but couldn't seeing myself spending $70+ for a figure that i will probably only
use once or twice.
i went to Etsy.com to see what i could fine,
and i came across a vendor called BunionsandCabbage.
and they had a very nice looking Orcus.
so i took a chance on them and ordered one.
this was the very first time i ordered a 3-d printed item on Etsy.

the Demon Prince of Undeath


i didn't know if i wanted to paint this fellow like i did with all my other Wizkids figures,
or do the slapchop method like i've been doing with my wild west stuff lately.


the Wand of Orcus.


i didn't want him to wear a lot of metal armor,
i went and did his armor with a black and a light white drybrush,
but did his belt with some gold trim and his skull icon.


the Blood Lord's wings unfurled with undeath and dismay.


the end for this group of adventurers....
or not...

    Lovely painting on a nice mini. Well done.
    I don't fancy the adventurers chances.

      thanks, I could've done more on the wings but decided not to. overall very pleased on how he came out. I still look at him like he's a lifetime achievement award lol.

    That's a cracking job on Orcus - I especially like the wings, and a suitably awesome looking baddie for your D&D Boss fight. I found buying 3D prints on Etsy very dangerous, LOL, as it soon convinced me to buy a 3D printer and start producing my own.

      thank you, i took a chance ordering the 3d print. luckily there wasn't much damage.
      lord knows i couldn't own a printer, that thing would never be shut off lol.
      maybe in the future i'll order another print of something else and see how that goes.

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!
