tribal characters for D&D....and pulp

Image
 continuing working on the tribal miniatures from the Solomon Kane: Against the Vampires board game set. also converting more figures to 1.5mm bases. and then here and there in between i've been writing and rewriting campaign adventures for our new upcoming campaign. i always figured this miniature would be the overall ruler of whatever i would use these tribesmen. the witch doctor. at first i forgot to paint the face and once i went out to spray the figure with a varnish i saw it and thought it kinda looks better with the white. almost looks like a painted skull. giant rats from GW's classic Necromunda game, that had 3mm bases and reverted to 1.5mm. in Dungeons and Dragons i could use these as diseased plague rats, maybe with a small increase in hit points.   the champion. large muscular brute armed with a huge two-handed sword with gold threaded in and out and around the blade of the weapon. i thought of this fellow as being a spellcaster of some sorts like a shaman. i wante...

assorted characters for D&D

 haven't been doing much of any painting, just redoing bases to my wild west figures and several fantasy miniatures. i did start painting the miniature that were in the Solomon Kane board game expansion, Against the Vampires, i got awhile back.

much love for Tenfold Dungeon

recently Miniature Market was running a blowout sale of sorts and i happen to stumble across Tenfold Dungeons Town set for sale for like almost half the price. so i was curious what else was on sale and wouldn't you know it so was the Temple set. and this could not come at a worst time. recovering from Christmas, just paid rent and utility bills. so i did some number juggling and figured i could treat myself to another set. having two sets now means i can give have more depth in my dungeons by going up!...or down which ever the case. couldn't sleep the other night so i took out both sets and created a temple. ( when i took this pic i used everything except for two hallways and one large room. ) and comparing to just one set, having two sets is kind of a sweet deal. and plus being able to create an even larger temple gives me the excuse to expand on my ancient temple/ruins scatter terrain pieces. showed a picture to Rita and she said sometime in the next week or two we need to r...
