Anyone for another 15mm fantasy thread?

[thenamelessdead]

Allow me to oblige by providing the first two pictures of my 15mm fantasy collection. These are the four archetypal dungeon adventurers. Photos taken pre-delve, hence the lack of grime and spatters of orc blood.





All models are from the Ral Partha Blighthaven adventurers set. I heartily recommend this range for its quality and value.

Comments on the photographic quality welcome but not necessary. I realise this needs to improve and when I can find the proper camera it almost certainly will... Anyway, I hope you enjoy. There is more to come.

Excellent brush-work and your photography is fine too. The sculpts evince more character than some of their 28mm counterparts. Looking forward to seeing more.

[thenamelessdead]

Thank you for the kind words.

[Jagannath]

Nice work - love the eye patch chap.

[DivisMal]

Very well done. I like your paint scheme. They look wonderfully weird...in a good way!

The Blighthaven range is all drawn from the old Demonworld range, right?  I recognize all of those, I think.  More convenient to have them available in smaller packs if you're dungeon delving with them, of course.

Ha, I have the gent with the eye patch on my paint table even as we speak! Great stuff.

Correct. Some of the actual Demonworld packs are good for expanding in the direction of skirmish. Of which more later...

I see you have solved the eternal struggle for skirmish type games.
Rounds or squares?  Why not do both.... in the same base!

Looking at your party it seems like your short a Rogue.

What good is a band of adventurers who don't adventure? None whatsoever.

As the group approaches the dungeon entrance, an alert guard attempts to halt their progress.



With the guard dealt with the group make their way in and soon come to a door at the end of the passageway.

If you can see the rogue, he's not very good at his job.

What are the terrain pieces made out of? I like the look of the dungeon tiles on a black cloth.

It's blue Styrofoam. Used the ball o' foil on it and painted. Not too difficult and pretty cheap but looks pretty decent better in real life than my iffy photos).

Looks pretty legit to me. Pictures of my work always look far worse than the real life thing sitting on the table. I accept that about either my lack of photographic deception, or my poor eyesight while squinting over a table

The reason for my question was the dungeon entrance picture, bottom left looked a bit like polystyrene balls, and recently there have been some threads where people have done some magical stuff with the much maligned styrofoam packing material. Just wondering if this was another example of that.
