spellcasters and orcs!

-

this past weekend i got a chance to see the new
Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie and in my opinion it was fun.
not award winning but fun and enjoyable.
and afterwards was inspired to get several figures completed for a
D&D session this that saturday night.


after some time now i started painting this wizard figure but never really finished it.
but thinking how my gaming session was going to unfold,
i needed a magic user after all.


i wanted a wereraven figure for some time now.
recently finished the human form of the wereraven character pack.



had these two orcs and noticed they didn't look right with the
Wizkids Frameworks orc plastic set,
so i painted them with red skin just like my classic warhammer orcs
i did many months ago.


another human bard,
you can't have too many of these.
this fellow's sword was bent really bad so i carefully lit it with a lighter and cooled it
with cold water to melt and bend it back into place.

lately i been watching the John Wick movies and now i want to create a "John Wick"
npc for my group's D&D campaign.



i went back and redid this orc,
clipping the top of the staff to his right hand.
i didn't really like the magic spell effect that the figure had sculpted.
i added an orc skull on top the staff and gave the orc a sword.

might go back and buy another back of these to add ranks to my red skinned fel orcs
as i like to call them, but just paint them differently as far as armor goes.
probably won't give the orc shaman a sword.
maybe just be equipped with a staff.
we'll have to see what's available and what i have in the bitz box to use.

more to come....

legion of undead

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...

for the Lord of Wolf, for Russ!

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...
