monsters and more british

-

 at first i did not want to spend a lot on the Silver Bayonet but i caught the
bug and now i am looking into and want to do a warband of russians.
but for now last week i got a box of redcoats for expanding the 95th i already have
and also create a solid unit of soldiers along with other recruits.


once again i picked up a box of Perry Miniatures, this time british line infantry.
also with this box i was able to make a few extra characters like a veteran hunter,
a supernatural investigator, and another character from the Sharpe tv show.

still need to paint my french unit and i will admit i am kinda intimidated because i want
to do justice with the correct uniform colors and such. 

in between assembling the units for Silver Bayonet i have been painting the creatures and
monsters for the game also.
about 99% of the monsters i got for this game are from Next Level Miniatures.
pretty much the reason why is because they are cheap and cost effective.


some ghosts to haunt the final resting ground for the fallen.


Next level Miniatures had this Glabrezu and didn't realize it was a demon in D&D,
i was thinking this crab demon would do good for Silver Bayonet.
so now i have something for both games.
win-win!!


a ghastly ghoul.


a troll hulk roaming the hillside looking for human flesh to eat!

Lt. Sharpe and the Chosen Men run into a troll in the woods.
it may not be a cave troll...but a troll is a troll!!

    Another great update to your Silver Bayonet project. Those monsters look first-rate, and having paid their website a visit I can see why you like them so much. I think the ghosts you've painted are particularly awesome looking - especially with your green palette.

      thank you so much.
      Next Level Miniatures in my opinion is a great choice for inexpensive and decent looking figures.
      there are some cleaning up but still i always keep the $$$ in mind.
      i slapchop and use Army Painter speedpaints on everything. the ghosts were done by layering shades of green.

      start with a dark shade and let dry then go back and drybrush a thin coat of white acrylic paint. after that i go over that with a lighter shade of green until i think it looks good enough.

    These look great! I'll echo Blaxkleric's comment, the green of the ghosts is excellent. They look like they're glowing!

race to the temple - Fistful of MotU

-
Image
 was able to get a small game of Fistful of Lead yesterday. i created rosters of Master of the Universe characters using various FFoL rule sets. at first i thought this was a cool idea but then as time went on I doubted myself, had to just see what would happen on the table top. layout of the table. making it simple i wanted to do a game of pulp adventures but i haven't gamed with my MotU figures yet so i changed my mind but kept the table set-up the same. and once again i am gaining more mileage out of these Tenfold Dungeon sets then i thought it would. the Heroic Warriors, Man-at-Arms, Ram man, Orko, He-Man, Stratos, and Man-E-Faces (l to r). the Evil Warriors, Skeletor, Trap Jaw, Beast Man, Tri-Klops, Evil-Lyn, Mer-Man (l to r). turn one opened up as Man-at-Arms took some shots at Skeletor. the rest of the groups advance from each other's side of a temple. Orko cast a push back spell and sent Skeletor and Beast Man backwards. thwarting their movement towards the main temple.

the eldritch horrors of the prepainted

 recently the D&D group has begun a new adventure and i wanted to do many tie-ins with H.P. Lovecraft influence be it creatures/characters from his writings or just the theme of a cosmic horror threat to humanity. i came across some Pathfinder and Wizkds figures that are straight out of the writings of Lovecraft and couldn't be happier. even though these are prepainted figures i gave them a black wash, varnish coat, and a change of base so they would blend in with the rest of my collection. a solo adventure session for my friend Chris with his character Crinkleshorts, a gnome warlock,  discovering an abandoned idol in the desert Crinkleshorts is transported to a sanctum of knowledge and mystery. in addition to coming into contact with a few creatures that are not of this plane. not sure on how big these yithians were i bought quite a few but then once i got them i then realized how large they were. knowing Wizkids made these elder things i also bought a few but was kinda disapp
