a monster mash of sorts!

-

just a few things i been working on.
been gearing up for a semi-big event in our Dungeons and Dragons group.


the current group of our D&D players.
with the deaths of the dwarf cleric and gnome warlock,
we inherited a new player, Nate as he is playing as a dragonborn fighter,
and Chris returning with a half-elf dhampir ranger.



was able to get the other bard i had sitting around complete.
used him in a recent session as a bard with a little known curse.......


.....a truly fearsome werewolf.
i took one of my werewolves from my collection and re-based it so it would match
and fit in with my Wizkids collection.


bought a bucket of jungle animals from Wal-Mart and started with this snake.
based it and just added a black wash over it once or twice.
i really did not want to get fancy with scale patterns and such.
maybe on the next one i do i'll give it a go.


a barbarian runs into a giant snake.



wanted to do something with these old chaos warrior plastic warriors
since i had quite a bit of them.
i glued several MDF 32mm bases together to make plinths and then
one under a warrior.
base coat black and dry brush silver.


and then did two more warriors with the bases to match the other D&D figures.
i made them like this so i can run a session with either just armor statues
or animated armor coming to life and attacking whoever.


group of adventurers being ambushed by animated suits of armor.

more to come...

the Well of Lost Stars

 with my D&D group's campaign came to a conclusion last weekend, i needed some thing to let the one group of characters to transfer from my campaign to a fellow group member, Jon's campaign. so i thought what i could do or even use for an easy transfer. i thought i'll use a plot device to teleport the group of heroes to where the next campaign will begin. the Well of Lost Stars. the main part of this terrain piece was part of a failed 3-d print of the Stargate, from the movie of the same name. i have another piece that was printed just not as thicker, i might make it into another Well. the band of heroes investigates the Well of Lost Stars. "what could this be?" the tricky rogue, Usagi asked curiously. to make the green substance is basically some amount of paint and Elmer's glue. i took a light shade of green and mixed it in the glue, then i filled the inside area with the mixed glue and finally added a few dots of a darker green. i ran a toothpick around

continuing working on my orc warband. once again i continued using the slapchop painting method just to get several more painted in a short amount time. since i am using two sets of the Wizkids orc box sets i will have multiple orcs with same armor sculpts and weapons. when i painted these guys i mainly used a red and green for any cloth on their armor. i did convert some weapons so they wouldn't look the same to another figure armed the same way. with several of them i used a lighter to some what melt and soften the plastic to either bend wrists/hands holding weapons or even clipped some weapons so they wouldn't look the same to another. the orc warband lead by the self proclaimed king of the orcs, Grishnug. which was the name of my orc hunter from back in my days of World of Warcraft. ( edit: several days after i made this post i got the rest of the Wizkids orcs finished. in all of their glory, the entire w arband. ) the orc king leads a few into battle against a huge spider

operation MotU: wave 1

 so begins a great adventure.... when i bought the CMON Masters of the Universe board game i knew what i was getting myself into. but over time i didn't realize what kind of pile of shame i would have. so i thought instead of being overwhelmed with what i should paint first, i thought i'll paint what the original toy-line was back in the '80's starting with wave 1. wave 1 consists of He-Man, Man-at-Arms, Teela, Stratos, Battle Cat, Skeletor, Mer-Man, Beast Man, and Zodac.  i painted them like the original cartoon or close enough to it. Heroic Warriors He-Man is the alter ego of Prince Adam and also the twin brother of She-Ra. He-Man and his friends defend Eternia, the secrets of Castle Grayskull, and the entire universe from the evil forces of his archenemy Skeletor. Man-At-Arms is the primary title of Duncan. The role of a Man-at-Arms was to advise the ruling planetary monarch and the Royal Guard on military and police affairs. Teela is the Captain of the Royal Guard a
