dragonborns and a knight

-

 took a little time from blogging because i really didn't have anything new
to show or anything really happening besides playing Dungeons and Dragons.

the group i have been running is just about to finish their first campaign of adventures
and i pretty much spent the last month mapping out the finale of it all.

i did manage a nice statue of a knight of sorts
a few weeks back.

taking a metal Grail Knight miniature from the classic GW Warhammer
Bretonnian miniature line.


painting it black base coat and then a drybrush heavy with an antique gold.



making sure i had a shield that matches the grail knight's helm
and the horse's headpiece was kinda nerve wracking.
i didn't think to check to make sure i had all three before i started to
put it all together.

with our D&D group's first campaign coming to an end,
i gave the option to the players to create another character.


Lindsey asked if she could make a druid,
so she went with a dragonborn druid.
when i went to paint it, i asked about which draconic ancestry she would like,
and she went with gold dragon ancestry.


two dragonborns facing down a small horde of skeletons
within the ruins of a castle.



Jon playing a half elf rogue went along with a dragonborn also,
but this time a paladin.
i painted his dragonborn as of bronze dragon ancestry
in game i gave him a magical shield so to reflect this i gave his shield some color
to make it look special.


the dragonborn paladin knows no fear!

    Lovely stuff. Those heroes should be great to play.

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

my girlfriend Rita told me the other week that her youngest son joined a D&D school club and we needed to write up a character sheet. we sat and picked a race/class and her youngest Sam picked of all things, gnome barbarian named Hamish. we rolled for stats and filled out all the slots and information for him to play his first legit D&D game. so a week later we were told the person who's running the D&D club is starting the characters at level 3, why i have no idea, you figured new players would start at level 1? so we "leveled up" Sam's character and we played out a small session to get Sam familiar with the basic rules. Breena and Hamish explores the sewers under the city, only to run into a black pudding. from the shadows the a tortle emerges. the ascended dragon, Quirog!   didn't realize how much damage the black pudding, so i added some help to the adventurers. crawling down a sewer pipe, Hamish runs into a Banderhobb. this was a mistake being tha
