the Ghost and the Darkness

-

the other day i was watching the 1996 movie "the Ghost and the Darkness,"
and after watching it i thought of some cool scenario that could be played
out for Perilous Tales or something.

i happened to have a bucket of animal toys i bought up at Wal-Mart several months ago
and found two feline figures that could of been a lioness or a tiger.

i thought these would be perfect to represent the lions of Tsavo,
since the males virtually have no manes.


the pair stalking their prey.

when painting the two figures i wanted to get as close to the color of
these beasts as i could.


placed them on 40mm bases,
these fellows are slightly big compared to 25mm miniatures which
is great because that will make them more monstrous and fierce.


cornered in an alcove on a cliff,
did the men remain the hunters or became the hunted?

    Nice work! What a great movie, I gotta rewatch that. I love getting inspiration for a game from unexpected places. Also, hi Tim this is the chip guy

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
