...although I’m s bit surprised nobody had anything to say about the Keep on the Borderlands homage...

“Ok, ok, my turn...truth or dare?”

I like that one a lot.

I don't know The Keep on the Borderlands ...

Did not know daemons played truth or dare! Were they out of riddles?

The Keep on the borderlands was the adventure usually included in basic D&D and a lot of people’s first adventure (title page picture below).

I dunno...the caption just seemed appropriate

There’s something in the sewers!

Wererat from Grenadier, giant rats from Dark Eye, gigantic rat from Megaminiatures.

Re: Keep on the Borderlands, I missed it until you mentioned it then knew right away what image it was. I actually chuckled. Well done!

I think to decision to base every mini exactly the same was an inspired choice. It really ties everything together as if its all from the same little fantasy universe. It gives the series a sense of continuation. Awesome.

I’m really liking these last 3. Nice mixing up of the scenes as well as the figures.

The rats have great perspective.

A plague of purple!

This Irregular Miniatures Dark Elf surveys his destruction with his Wyvern pet from Ral Partha.

Keep on the Borderlands... a classic! My very first D&D adventure almost 40 years ago.

I quite like the photo composition of the Dark Elf and Wyvern.

scatterbrains · « **Reply #101 on:** March 10, 2020, 01:26:18 PM »

Is the picture of the rats also an homage to something? Elder Scrolls maybe? Now that I've missed one I'm trying to see something in every pic!

I like the wyvern picture - but wonder if photographically it would work better as a vertical shot, to give more space below the figures, i.e. showing more of the arches?

The lighting from below works well.

This is a cool series.

Well, ha ha, not a great photographer, but I’m trying

. Everything is set up on either my painting table or the chair I sit on to paint. I move my painting light, take a few shots (with my IPhone 6), then pick the one I like best...then put everything away and get ready for work.
