the safe hΘle

after several weeks of freezing weather, crap work schedules and finally feeling a little bit better, i got what i could get done for the PWYG challenge. i do feel like i should have done more but real life took over. some time i will eventually get my last two MotU factions painted, but don't hold your breathe on it. towards the end of February i found a new game called Deth Wizards, which totally changed my decision on what to paint because i bought two boxes of Frostgrave miniatures. one box of soldiers and one of culstists. i did do a bit of kitbashing between the plastic sets. the female wizard on the left i want to use as a new necromancer for a new horde for Deth Wizards. she is from the Wildspire Miniature line. i clipped the top of her staff and added a scythe blade from a classic warhammer skeleton plastic sprue. the fellow on the right is an old metal figure that i am not sure about the manufacturer. some thieves and rogues from the Frostgrave cultist box set. a few rang...

ever since this brittle arctic air swept over the east coast here in the United States i have lost all motivation to do any painting or anything. only played a handful of Dungeons and Dragons with the group and managed to get a handful of MotU figures ready to be painted, but being so cold i haven't even thought of picking up a paintbrush. and work isn't helping with the upcoming schedule changes, i feel like i won't get anything completed for the Paint What You Got challenge. to get me through this winter hell i did manage to come across a new game called Deth Wizards from Snarling Badger Studios. and i can't get enough of this game being a well written solo or 1v1 game. even though i said i was gonna paint my MotU figures for the PWYG challenge, i did manage to get a hold of some plastic sprues of Frostgrave soldiers and cultists to make the npc characters for Deth Wizards and hopefully if the weather cooperates i'll get them painted quickly and in time for the ch...

last weekend or so i bought Deth Wizards, a pretty cool game that after watching some introduction and game-play videos on it, i was surprised how easy i was able to pick up on it. i really love how there isn't much to it based on the fact it is an agnostic miniature game. so i basically had most of what i needed to play. i might have to get some actual buildings but i do have the "buildings" that i can use for now from the Tenfold Dungeon "The Town" box set. so a day or so later i made a quick necromancer character and an undead warband. i used one of my D&D characters for this game and it's just funny how in D&D he is actually a wizard of the college of necromancy. i picked an easy legacy of necromancy to use at first. i went with the ability to choose undead that are hulks and are a little bit of a tank.   after writing down all the information i need to play a story mode campaign, i played an introduction game for myself to get the basics down wh...
