finished a friend's dungeon spiders.
quick and easy.
after painting these i kinda wish i had collected a goblin army filled,
few years back i came across a tabletop game called Ruthless, a wild west skirmish game with literally 2 pages worth of rules, to me that sounds great. a simple game with simple rules with lots of potential fun to be had. over the two years since i found Ruthless i've been distracted with other games, pile of shame to be dealt with, and the Dungeons and Dragons group. on a rare occasion Rita and myself were able to spend a few days off from work together and i took the opportunity to show her Ruthless and in the end we had a fun time. to make it simple we both had four figures equally armed. two had revolvers, one person had a shotgun, and another with a repeating rifle. Rita played the group of characters i made for my ongoing Perilous (western) Tales campaign. i played as a group of outlaws looking to take out her leader and rob the local bank or attempt to. a fellow sneaking along the general store front, while a confrontation is at hand in the alley. my sharpshooter lady trying...
back in January when i was supposed to get some of my MotU miniatures painted for a painting challenge i got a little distracted and came across a game that was simple and yet fun even for solo play. i went through the rulebook and counted all the AI characters for all the scenarios and made a list. i would have used my D&D figures for the priests and the paladins but i did not have any normal civilians as villagers for the game. so i go myself a box of Frostgrave cultists and soldiers and did a little kit bashing. after doing that i figured might as well do the rest so at least all the AI heroes would look somewhat uniformed and in scale with one another. rangers. the rangers are made out of the soldier sprue. priests. the priests are made out of the wizard sprue. the priests are equipped with hand items and wands. paladins. these heroes are straight out of the knights box. wizards. i gave the wizards staves or small hand items. wanted to separate the priests and the wizards apart...
after several months of taking a break from painting my MotU figures i was watching a few episodes of the 2002 Masters of the Universe series and i got a little inspiration to continue Operation MotU. i asked my good friend Doctor Merkury (go visit his blog page, Doctor Merkury's Lab ), which faction should i do next and he suggested Snake Men, so here we are. there were some miniatures i was sort of intimidated by painting and some i was just not fond of how they were sculpted and such. but i think they came out fairly well i tried to stick to the color schemes of either the original toys. King Hiss, in human form and snake form. Snake Face and Lady Slither. Rattlor. Fang-Or and Tung Lashor. when i went to paint Tung Lashor i tried to duplicate the markings the MotU Origins action figure has. Sssqueeze. the miniature had the arms sculpted down to the base so i bent the arms upwards which meant i had to replace the hands since they would have broken off with spare Warhammer Skaven ...
