AI heroes for Deth Wizards

-

back in January when i was supposed to get some of my MotU miniatures painted for a
painting challenge i got a little distracted and came across a game that was simple and yet fun
even for solo play.

i went through the rulebook and counted all the AI characters for all the scenarios
and made a list.
i would have used my D&D figures for the priests and the paladins but i did not have any
normal civilians as villagers for the game.
so i go myself a box of Frostgrave cultists and soldiers and did a little kit bashing.

after doing that i figured might as well do the rest so at least all the AI heroes would look
somewhat uniformed and in scale with one another.


rangers.
the rangers are made out of the soldier sprue.


priests.
the priests are made out of the wizard sprue.
the priests are equipped with hand items and wands.

paladins.
these heroes are straight out of the knights box.

wizards.
i gave the wizards staves or small hand items.
wanted to separate the priests and the wizards apart by what items they are carrying.


warriors.
the warriors are soldiers with knights' heads
and armed with weapons from the soldiers sprue.
few of the warriors are equipped with shields from the orc infantry plastic sprue
from the game Oathmark.


rogues.
the rogues are from the cultists sprue with particular heads and weapons.


villagers.
the villagers are cultist bodies with heads/arms and weapons from the soldier sprue.

certain scenarios have a specific kind of villager for it,
so i built myself those instead of using my normal villager figures.


a gravedigger, a groundskeeper, and the king's attendant.
these villagers are just like the other villagers but with some extra bits to represent
their roles in the scenarios.
these villagers are built with heads from the soldier sprue, bodies from the cultist
sprue and arms from the wizards sprue.
the gravedigger is equipped with a shovel made from the shovel head from a classic
40k Leman Russ tank accessories sprue and an arm with a staff from the wizard sprue.  


two of the scenarios have very specific AI heroes and so i went ahead and
made myself those also.
they play like paladins as far as the order of activation.
lord's champion and the king's champion.
these heroes are built from the knights sprue.

i think this might be honestly the first complete project i have ever done.
there isn't really any need to add anything else or redo.
unless Snarling Badger Studios adds an expansion or another edition of the game and
there is new or more needed AI heroes.

lrn2play: Ruthless 1v1

-
Image
few years back i came across a tabletop game called Ruthless, a wild west skirmish game with literally 2 pages worth of rules, to me that sounds great. a simple game with simple rules with lots of potential fun to be had. over the two years since i found Ruthless i've been distracted with other games, pile of shame to be dealt with, and the Dungeons and Dragons group. on a rare occasion Rita and myself were able to spend a few days off from work together and i took the opportunity to show her Ruthless and in the end we had a fun time. to make it simple we both had four figures equally armed. two had revolvers, one person had a shotgun, and another with a repeating rifle. Rita played the group of characters i made for my ongoing Perilous (western) Tales campaign. i played as a group of outlaws looking to take out her leader and rob the local bank or attempt to. a fellow sneaking along the general store front, while a confrontation is at hand in the alley. my sharpshooter lady trying...

Space Weirdos + MotU = fun times

for some time now i've been writing stats for Space Weirdos using the Masters of the Universe miniatures i have been collecting from CMON's Clash of Eternia board game. i wrote some stat blocks for MotU for Fistful of Lead, but using Space Weirdos seems to fit them the best. spending the good part of my vacation just relaxing i finally pulled out some figures and play tested some of the stats i wrote. after a few turns i have to go back and redo some numbers. but overall it was fun. i only played a few turns solo and i have to say playing solo kinda sucks sometimes because i forget some solo mechanics. maybe hopefully this weekend i can get Rita to play a game or two after the convention. Whiplash charged in without caution and dueled Fisto for a bit until becoming victorious. Stratos was challenged by Clawful and Ninjor. Stratos disengaged, while Man-E-Faces opened fire on the evil villains, taking out Clawful and wounding Ninjor. while Trap Jaw was opening fire on the heroic ...

Paint What You Got challenge 2026

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...
