Orchid Chieftan: Her abilities center around summons, which she can use as mounts, so that means even more painting before she gets onto the board. Her Summons are animals, so I proxied from the Wildspire Miniature's "Heroes and Animals" set. The corgi (Scout Dog) and pack lizard (Pack Lizard) matched their Summoned counterparts. The red elk (painted as a generic herbivore) was a sort-of match for the Summon Bull. The rabbit and elephant had to make do for the ostrich and turtle summons. As for the "combat wombat", we picked him up at a Road Event as a wounded creature and he helped us in a fight in a beast-ridden scenario.

Artificer joins the party after the Chieftan retires!

Artificer has a unique resource, Scrap, which he generates and consumes with certain character ability cards of his. The Hallowpact has a similar concept, with his Void Energy. Although accumulating too much Void Energy has negative effects, I prefer Hallowpact because he generates Void Energy faster, and has more powerful abilities using them.

First picture has the Artificer with one of his summoned creatures. The construct is from the Wildspire Miniature's "Spellblades" set.
Second picture has the Artificer and Ruinmaw ending a scenario the hard way after too many oozes, proxied by mushroom men and dice, spawned. 😛

More adventuring!

Used some Beer Golems as proxies, so rethemed the adventure to the boys crashing a drinking party.

"Behold! Ze Prestigulous Power Modulator!"
"Oh, how wonderful. Has it (ahem) been field tested to dispose of the required number of enemies?"
"Indeed! Und it has proved effective in debilitating many others!"
"Oh, how wonderful. We need a little more, um 'field testing' at the University."
"Eh???"
"It seems that the League of Amphibious Beings weren't keen on our using their habitat as a heat sink, so have behooved themselves into taking over the Translocation Lab. It's a perfect way to impress the academics of your new invention."
"Fine. Point me to the fiends."
"Ah. There are a few little minor teensy details you should know."
"WHAT details???"
"Their teleportation has somehow made them to immune to Wounding."
"Ugh."
"And Poison."
"UGH."
"And one of them has holed up in the Refractor Assembly."
"Ugh."
"And they seemed to have let the highly secret experimental also Immobilize and Stun-proof golem loose in the Cooling Chamber."
"UGH."

Firelady, Rineheart, and Combat Wombat join the fray, as new party members!

Combat Wombat replaces the retired Ruinmaw but is just as short and short-tempered!
Rimehearth is from the free Trail of Ashes PnP expansion!
Bombadier is stuck as babysitter.

The party is on the trail of the Cult of Aquatic Partiers, whose Lizardmen Cultists manifest the Transparent Icon That I Gave Up Even Trying To Paint Because It's Transparent as Living Beer Barrels. They even possess a stone golem from the previous adventure! The heroes make short work of the cultists at the gate, but the baddies buy time to summon more Living Beer Barrels!

The designers of Crimson Scales, Addax Games, are running a KS for their own GH-alike boardgame, Rove on KS. Less than a month to go!

With the designers of Crimson Scales continuing their Rove boardgame on KS, I figure I'd post a pic of one of their classes from Trail of Ashes. Both CS and ToA are free PnP. IMO, This class should work fine with CS and GH, if you can juggle elements, or have someone in the party who can generate green Earth elements (eg. Flask Dude, or Jungle Jane). The class has a Level 1 card, which creates a thorn bush hindering terrain that attacks all adjacent enemies -- if you can find some Earth element to consume! The guy in the back is the third character I've played for the Flask class. His miniature is from the Wildspire Miniature's "Spellblades and Enchanted Objects" set. The scatter terrain is from Archon. Pit traps from Altar Quest Strech Goals. The coin is from a coin set on Amazon.

Gloomhaven : Crimson Scales

NIGHT OF THE MURDER CHICKEN

Rethemed a tragic scenario into murder most fowl. The poultry miniature is actually useful in an event card as well, and I'd like to think said chicken got its taste of BLOOD and formed its own tasty cult. Anyway, our two boys encounter the murder chicken (towards the back, near a man-eating plant) the first time, but would fail three times in this difficult scenario!

Wildspire Miniatures has some deals on Amazon Prime! The Monsters set isn't on sale, but the Heroes and Animals set I've been using for character proxies, animal summons, and some enemy bosses. : https://www.amazon.com/stores/WildspireMiniatures/page/B343BFEF-3714-440E-9750-50FC66D51848?ref_=ast_bln

The Firecat figure is from the Heroes and Animals set, while the enemies are from the Monsters set. The Wizard is from the Spellblades set.
Walls are from WizKids. Furniture is from Mantic. The Firecat is a proxy for the fire character class, who has a ladder she can climb for various bonus card effects.
