operation MotU: the Royal Guard

-

now King Randor has a proper regiment of guards to protect the kingdom!

getting the Eternian Guards done awhile back i finally got the Palace Guards finished as well.
these were tricky because of their halberd blades kind of bent and warped.
so i had to fix that or my OCD would go off and drive me crazy.

i noticed one of the palace guards had it's head looking forward instead of off to the side
like everyone else, so i clipped two other heads and glued them looking forward.

now with these guys done and complete i think i might begin to focus on
getting the Evil Horde and Great Rebellion finished.
even though i always find odd ball characters to do i really need to buckle down and
get them done.
I have been dragging my feet on them for some time now.

    That's an impressive unit, a worthy addition to your collection.
    Of course, being guards, they are probably pretty useless in the game.

the giant frog monster: Perilous (western) Tales

since resuming my Perilous Tales campaign with the Wolf Man episode i unintentionally created a mini storyline within my campaign that will feature the infamous Whateley family. as one of the villain scenarios in the rulebook i was so looking forward to creating a western version of them being a Lovecraft fan. but to get there we have to stay on the road that is haunted by creatures and undesirables. the episode is the giant frog monster. ( the swamp fiend from the rulebook. ) the group continues towards the Whateley's farmhouse and soon discovers that there is more here than a reclusive family. gossip around town says that some of those graves are filled with children who didn't make it past their first year or stillborn. just sad. the objectives are: Destroy the Idol, Rescue the Prisoner, and Tell Us What You Know.  the perils in the game are: Creeping Death, Driven Back, and Mired. which all were randomly generated. using the Eagle Eye trait to spot some minions, the game st...

muck people

continuing painting some more from the Mantic Games Haunted Manor box set, these minions i figure are supposed to be the deep ones from H.P. Lovecraft's stories. but since they lack the fish characteristics i call them the muck people. and not too long ago i found out that these figures are from the Hellboy board game, so i might look on eBay for a few more to add to the group. i had my next Perilous Tales scenario figured out and sorted but in my head it didn't fit with the theme that i had started. so i pulled these out, painted them quickly and got them table-readied for the next installment of my western themed Perilous Tales. i didn't know how i was gonna use these originally for Dungeons and Dragons, but for a modern pulp or even a wild west, these would work nicely. as i am writing this post, i am definitely thinking of getting a few more for other table-top games i enjoy playing. the one muck man who seems like they are wearing pants i didn't feel like that is  ...
