the safe hΘle

spent the last few weeks building miniatures and setting time aside to begin painting. i am kind of excited about what i have planned to get painted and finished. a few wild west buildings, a handful of fantasy figures, and most certainly the ever lasting MotU collection i have been cracking at for the past year or so. in between working and messing around with this and that, i have been looking at some agnostic tabletop games so of course i built some miniatures for those games. one game i am looking forward to is Forbidden Psalm. i know it's been out for a while and i know of it but never looked into it until now. recently a former group member got in touch with me and we chatted, one thing led to another and we chatted about Dungeons and Dragons and the old campaign sessions. he told me about some life changes and a light bulb went off. i asked about his character he was running in our old campaign and was curious if he wanted to rejoin with the group we had running right now. a...

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...

about a week or so ago i finished up several fantasy miniatures before i begin my Paint What You Got challenge with my MotU Evil Horde and Great Rebellion figures. hopefully with weather permitting next month i can get all of them if not the majority of them done before Feb. 26th deadline. continuing painting up more miniatures from the Wildspire plastic miniature set i bought off of Amazon. i picked out some of the more interesting and well noticeable figures i could use in my D&D games and also other fantasy based table-top games i have. female dwarf cleric female human druid and a monk who is blind. i didn't realize until i painted him that he had a blindfold on his face. i thought that was kinda cool and surprising. a male elf bard. female dragonborn spellcaster and a female tiefling rogue.

 it was bound to happen with our new members of our D&D group. they were curious if they were able to make higher leveled characters to match others in the group. several weeks ago i bought a plastic set of miniatures off of Amazon. the figures are from Wildspire Miniatures and i for the most part i like these. durable plastic and nicely sculpted. so i gave the group members a list of the class/combo's that are in this box set and told them to create a character sheet but not tell them what is going to happen afterwards, Rita already had a character in mind and miniature done awhile back but we had to redo a back story and stuff to match what was going to take place. this new group consists of level 10 characters with the exception of the leader who is level 11. the new group is basically hired swords/mercenaries, giving the players the freedom to go in any direction without becoming totally evil. just need Rita to think of a badass name for this group since she's the leade...

i've been painting miniatures for the past few weeks but with work and weather, i haven't gotten around to posting anything. i did however buy a few new minis for my fantasy collection and also finally getting around to painting some plastic sprues that i got a while back. and of course continuing painting the Masters of the Universe figures. the recent Next Level Miniatures i got were a metal golem and i got another vampire. i originally got the golem to be a companion for an existing D&D character but decided against it.  iron golem. gave it a golden color instead of the usual silver metal feel. a nosferatu vampire. a few weeks ago i came across a plastic box set of miniatures from Wildspire Miniatures on Amazon was curious about what they were like in person. unfortunately there were a few from one set i bought i was interested in. in a future post i'll show more miniatures from the other box sets i got. mysterious female spellcaster. love how the hat comes down to c...
