Title: Van Helsing's D&D Miniatures Thread.
Post by: Van-Helsing on 26 October 2013, 05:57:33 PM: Finally started on some Fantasy Miniatures (part in readiness for the Otherworld Fantasy Skirmish Rules, part because I lost almost all of my painted D&D Miniatures)

First Up - "Anshar the Magic-User" :D

Back Detail.

(He looks better in the "flesh", the picture seems to have washed out the colours a little) you can't really see the dark green grain in the wood, nor the shading on the parchment.

I've also made a start of some dungeon decor (as you could see from the picture of the Magic User).

You two are making resisting the current Other World sale at Architects of War very difficult. When I crack it will be all your fault..thanks.

That mage has a very Excalibur's Merlin look to him, which is a good thing, mind.

Nice background too. Is it purely decorative, or is it part of a 3d dungeon? Looking great either way.

And is that altar also by Otherworld? The idol is similar to the large idol/statue they do...

I want to finish the Barbarian First (unfortunately not an Otherworld Miniature, he's a Barbarian from the from Lance and Lasers "Hero Wars" range (the range was recently acquired by Armorcast I think) - mostly because I'm kinda obsessed by this Character from Fire and Ice.

I took the Barbarian as a Base, and used the Axe from the Otherworld Miniatures Weapons Pack.

That was why I liked it and wanted to finish him first.

Its an image printed out on sticky paper, mounted on foam core - to help me "plan" more effectively. (I find it easier to plan when I have something physical to lay out).

Yes, you can get it as part of a set with the the Big Idol, or they come as an accessories pack as well - http://otherworldminiatures.co.uk/shop/demons-devils/dd1b-diorama-pack-accessories/ (http://otherworldminiatures.co.uk/shop/demons-devils/dd1b-diorama-pack-accessories/)

We got the big idol too. It was just too old-school to leave.
