operation MotU: the Royal Guard

-

now King Randor has a proper regiment of guards to protect the kingdom!

getting the Eternian Guards done awhile back i finally got the Palace Guards finished as well.
these were tricky because of their halberd blades kind of bent and warped.
so i had to fix that or my OCD would go off and drive me crazy.

i noticed one of the palace guards had it's head looking forward instead of off to the side
like everyone else, so i clipped two other heads and glued them looking forward.

now with these guys done and complete i think i might begin to focus on
getting the Evil Horde and Great Rebellion finished.
even though i always find odd ball characters to do i really need to buckle down and
get them done.
I have been dragging my feet on them for some time now.

    That's an impressive unit, a worthy addition to your collection.
    Of course, being guards, they are probably pretty useless in the game.

      thank you, it depends what game system you would play them in I guess.

    Fantastic looking Palace guards, great little conversion with the heads, and totally hear you on bent weapons ! LOL

      thanks man. I really enjoyed doing the conversions on these miniatures.
      the figure with the blue cloak and white helmet in the first picture, is a combination of King Randor and an Eternian guard figure with a scratch built mace head on Randor's staff.

 recently my D&D group was able to squeeze in a session on thanksgiving weekend and this past weekend. and through all the action and mischief that was taking place, i noticed one thing that has been a occurrence for sometime now and it's how much little i need to create an encounter for them to enjoy themselves. over time especially this year with our group we have been more role-playing than playing the game with large table set-ups.  with all the papers, books, and the DM area there isn't much room on the table to create an elaborate table display to game on. certainly if an encounter is created randomly out of the blue. like several weeks ago a group was sent to take down a raised skeletal dragon. and i wasn't even sure if we were going to get to that particular fight so i didn't make room for it, but somehow we got to it so i just put the essentials down on the table for that encounter, which was a crashed sky-boat, the adventure party, and a dragon.  and in th...

the ghost and the darkness: Perilous Tales

back in 2023 i repainted a few plastic lions i got from an animal toy bucket from Wal-Mart and thought it would be really cool to set up a scenario based off the movie "the Ghost and the Darkness." now fast forward today and while i am spending my vacation getting some painting done, i figured i would take a break from my western Perilous Tales campaign and play a fresh game with a home brew scenario. basing it roughly off the movie the two lions are the only villains in the game with many perils to make the game interesting and somewhat of a pain. in a game of Perilous Tales there are five villains and three perils. but since there are only two villains i picked the peril, Utterly Horrible to fill out the rest of the villain list. making characters roll for horror checks throughout the game in my mind gives that uneasy feeling like you are being stalked by these monsters of the jungle. the objectives are: Kill the Master, Get Evidence, and Escape!.  the perils in the game ar...

the giant frog monster: Perilous (western) Tales

since resuming my Perilous Tales campaign with the Wolf Man episode i unintentionally created a mini storyline within my campaign that will feature the infamous Whateley family. as one of the villain scenarios in the rulebook i was so looking forward to creating a western version of them being a Lovecraft fan. but to get there we have to stay on the road that is haunted by creatures and undesirables. the episode is the giant frog monster. ( the swamp fiend from the rulebook. ) the group continues towards the Whateley's farmhouse and soon discovers that there is more here than a reclusive family. gossip around town says that some of those graves are filled with children who didn't make it past their first year or stillborn. just sad. the objectives are: Destroy the Idol, Rescue the Prisoner, and Tell Us What You Know.  the perils in the game are: Creeping Death, Driven Back, and Mired. which all were randomly generated. using the Eagle Eye trait to spot some minions, the game st...
