Orcus, the Blood Lord

-

 for sometime now i have been debating how what to do for my Dungeons and Dragons
campaign finale as far as the main boss.
and the Wand of Orcus has been the somewhat center piece of what would
become problems for our D&D group for good part of a year now.

and since i like to keep all my D&D miniatures and models exclusively Wizkids,
i was going back and worth on actually getting an Orcus figure.

but couldn't seeing myself spending $70+ for a figure that i will probably only
use once or twice.
i went to Etsy.com to see what i could fine,
and i came across a vendor called BunionsandCabbage.
and they had a very nice looking Orcus.
so i took a chance on them and ordered one.
this was the very first time i ordered a 3-d printed item on Etsy.

the Demon Prince of Undeath


i didn't know if i wanted to paint this fellow like i did with all my other Wizkids figures,
or do the slapchop method like i've been doing with my wild west stuff lately.


the Wand of Orcus.


i didn't want him to wear a lot of metal armor,
i went and did his armor with a black and a light white drybrush,
but did his belt with some gold trim and his skull icon.


the Blood Lord's wings unfurled with undeath and dismay.


the end for this group of adventurers....
or not...

    Lovely painting on a nice mini. Well done.
    I don't fancy the adventurers chances.

      thanks, I could've done more on the wings but decided not to. overall very pleased on how he came out. I still look at him like he's a lifetime achievement award lol.

    That's a cracking job on Orcus - I especially like the wings, and a suitably awesome looking baddie for your D&D Boss fight. I found buying 3D prints on Etsy very dangerous, LOL, as it soon convinced me to buy a 3D printer and start producing my own.

      thank you, i took a chance ordering the 3d print. luckily there wasn't much damage.
      lord knows i couldn't own a printer, that thing would never be shut off lol.
      maybe in the future i'll order another print of something else and see how that goes.

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...
