the madness has begun..

-

 recently we started a new adventure with our D&D group and i really wanted to do
something different as far as encounters with NPC's and monsters alike.
i've been reading a lot of H.P. Lovecraft lately and i wanted to play out some of the stories
that i read here as of late.

the back story of the Necronomicon really intrigues me,
so i went and found several arab miniatures from a box of plastic
arab spearmen/archers and made my own "Mad" Abdul Alhazred.


with the two sets of the temple from Tenfold Dungeons and the recently
ordered Lovecraftian monsters from WotC,
i am excited to see how everyone reacts to what i have in stored for everyone.
and also with such figures on hand i can play some really interesting pulp games.



within the ruins of whats left of a temple,
Alhazred begins reading from tattered pages from an ancient tome.
slowly losing his mind in the process.


continuing redoing the bases of my miniature collection.
i need more camels.



the oozes i'm using to represent as Lovecraftian and not the kind you would find
in the D&D monster manual.
just like the black puddings i made back in Feb of last year, these are made from
messing around with hot glue.


i redid the bases of the lions i painted which are just toys you get from a
jungle animals toy bucket for a few dollars at Wal-Mart.
these two are gonna be in a future Perilous Tales game post which is inspired by
the movie "the Ghost and the Darkness".

had a fun time playing some 40k Kill Team with friend Jayson and his Thousand Sons. despite losing, i had a lot of fun and my friend was getting kick out of his new Kill Team also. and also learn some thing about my own Kill Team and the general rules of the game.   even though the dice were not in my favor today, least i got to use my Death Guard dice.  Thousands Sons deployment  my girlfriend took a picture, her first time watching me game and watch a full game being played out she thought it was neat and cute...not sure how cute this was.... anyways in the pic.. the Death Guard advance and i did manage to take out a follower of Tzeentch.  Death Guard advance.  taking wounds.  taking a beating from the Tzaangors... or the chicken goat f***ks.  looking down the barrel of a soulreaper cannon.  the chicken goat bastards giving the Death Guard Champion and another marine a run for the...

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...

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...
