Excellent project!
Can I ask where the dungeon tiles are from? The printed ones, thinking of asking for some for Christmas that’s all.

They are definitely from Wizards of the Coast D and D rpg tiles.

Yep, the tiles are from the "old" D&D tile set. I recently purchased the re-launched one which came out a year or two ago, and was pretty disappointed.  The original set was incredibly useful.  The newer "dungeon" set is far less useful - though it makes a good companion to the old one!

The older set was full of large tiles and rooms, and was a bit more simple, but far more versatile.  The newer box includes far too many small pieces, cave sections, etc.  It's much harder to do a large simple dungeon room which is a shame!

A few new additions.

An evil wizardfella:


And a new/better Elf:


Also, received and based some clear plastic Reaper minis for use as Wraiths:


I'm way too shit at painting spiritual or aethereal stuff so they're staying in their tinted plastic.

I did strap them to a box and light them for some pictures used on the dungeon cards:

A few Oathmark goblins painted up in the race to 120.  They're pretty solid minis, though I need better pics.

Hadn’t seen them previously... it’s an excellent time to be building a fantasy project with all the options that are now available.

Yep, it's the first time in ages that numerous companies are producing quality Fantasy kits in plastic.  Frostgrave has maybe 10 plastic kits, Oathmark has five or six, and Fireforge is releasing their "not" Game of Thrones kits.  Shieldwolf also has a few kits (not a huge fan of those, though).

Kit-bashing between them, and combining them with Fireforge historical kits, etc.  Loads of options.

In the race to 120 miniatures by the end of the year, I did these two dungeon crawl figures.  One is a really nice little Reaper Arabian-esque noble, and the barbarian caster lady from the Shadespire Barbarian box.

While not entirely dungeon-crawl based...this is where my progress for the year sits:

That is a very respectable set of well painted minis! Respect.

Thanks, Rick.  I started keeping this collage-style image last year, so eventually I hope to have several pages where I can see "at a glance" what I managed to paint each year.  Doesn't include terrain or building tables, etc.
