Wow, what a productive week!

Love your new terrain, how large is that board? 50x50cm?

These two are both 50x50cm,  for 15mm skirmish thats usually more than enough imo.

Cheers,

So, what have I been up to lately?

Well, I decided to try my hand at making some modular dungeon and cavern tiles.

I've been playing a lot of  Rangers of Shadow Deep and D&D and I want to increase my indoor options.

Here's what I've got so far




I got the design from Wyloch's Armory , if you have not done so already, you should definately check out his youtube channel it's awesome!

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrKJd7jQ989DZvtf5C69mYA


The only change I made was to rescale them for 15mm and magnetise the bottoms so they don't slide around during play ( I have a white board as a playing surface )


I also painted some more dwarfs.

In my mind they are a cleric, a wizard and a fighter, although they could always end up being something else once they hit the table.

The campfire is a quick sculpt I did because I needed one in a game.




I hate to waste green stuff so I usually always have some press molds or dump sculpts so I can use up any leftovers.

These are the results of my latest batch of dump sculpts.




and a shot with the dwarves to give you an idea of their size.




Thats it for now.


So what's next?

Well, I've cut a small mountain of tiles to further expand my dungeons, 

have just recieved my kickstarter pledge  from Splintered Light and to top it all off, 

after playing a couple of games of ROSD, daughter number one has now asked me to help her roll up a character for D&D. 

All in all, I should have plenty more to share with you soon. 


Cheers,

Stroezie.

Ok folks, last post of the year before the holiday madness begins.

Best make it a good'un then  8) ,


So....


..."Out of the mists of Tír na nÓg strides Slaine MacRoth with his axe 'Brainbiter' in hand and his dwarf Ukko by his side."



Sláine: "Announce me, dwarf."



Ukko: "Er... Sláine Mac Roth... a bone-splitter, a reddener of swords, a pruner of limbs who delights in red-frothed, glorious carnage. No welcome visitor. Not a friendly face. Your lives would be prolonged for getting out of his way. Excellent with the axe and sword he is. Far from trifling the wounds he gives with his ungentle, woe-working weapons. Well damaged his enemies. Their tribes are full of vacancies. But I expect you know that yourselves now!"



Being slightly underwhelmed by the size of the Splintered light not-Slaine I decided to take matters into my own hands and convert a Ral Partha Thain barbarian into a more decently sized 15(18)mm Slaine.



I cut away his puny knife and green stuffed him a propper axe...



...and then gave him a fur cape.



And because you can't have a hero without some monsters for him to fight I also painted...

a cave bear from Northstar,


I am the carrion maker!


a Green Hag from Ral Partha


I can't waste time talking to you... I'll stop that mouth with steel!


some Owlbears from Splintered light


Kiss my axe!
 

some Splintered light Perytons


Flies will enter these wounds!
 

a bunch of goblins , the mounted ones are from Ral Partha, the one on foot is from Splintered light.


I am the reddener of armour! My axe shall leave a wake of death! 
 

two Splintered light chimeras


It's time I got more gore on my war weapon!


A pair (foursome?) of ettins from Splintered light.


Ha! Double the number of heads for me to pickle and show of to my friends!


A big purple people eater from Ral Partha


I am the CORPSE-SCORER!The axe river will flow — and you will drown in the wound sea!


And finally a lava demon also from Ral Partha.


I am Slaine MacRoth, my blood is white hot!




All in all I painted nearly a score of figures...

                                                                     ...and I did not think it to many  ;)



Cheers and happy holidays every body!!!

Ok, first post of the year.

What! Wait where did January go?

Oh well...   there goes that new years resolution...



Let's see what I've been up to then...



First of I've been bangin' away at some more cavern tiles.



As you can see I'm starting to get enough pieces together so that I can build a decent battle scene





I'm thinking of making some water edge tiles to soften the transitions from land to water a bit and then some scatter terrain like stalacmites, mushroom clusters and crystal formations.


On to the miniature painting side then...

No fantasy game is complete without some Orcs



More orcs...



And a couple of adventurers to help stop said orcs





This next mini is from the last splintered light kickstarter, when I saw him I pledged immediately,

personally I think it is the coolest looking minotaur miniature you can find in 15mm.



Makes for a really butch end of session bad guy imo.




The next three figures are actually from the old 28mm Rackham line, I think they were supposed to be some kind of air elemental familiars or something.




 They make great 15mm guardian spirits though,

the question is "Are they friend or foe?"




 

I've also based and primed a whole bunch of undead so with a bit of luck I should have more pics to share with you soon.



Cheers,

Stroezie.



Ps: sorry for the quality of some of the pictures, I have just swapped out all my old lamp bulbs for LED's and I'm struggling a little to find the right camera settings to compensate.

Some more figures for my ROSD and D&D games.
Today's story begins with...

The valiant town guard



I have more of them on the way, just as soon as I get around to cutting of their pikes and then sculpting them some halberts.

And they are up against...

some spooky specters



Three shadowy wraiths



two fierce wights (who apparently frequent the same hair salon as the bride of Frankenstein 😛)



and a whole passel of ghouls and ghasts



For those of you wondering.
The guards are from Ral Partha's Blighthaven/Demonworld line.
All the undead are from Splintered Light, exept for one ghoul who is from Alternative Armies.

Well, thats it for this episode.

Cheers,
Stroezie.
