Dabbling with Rangers of Shadow Deep
« on: April 20, 2020, 10:51:32 AM »
So I was looking for solo games whilst the lockdown is on and I came across Rangers of Shadow Deep which looks like it may scratch the itch.
As usual with a new project I like to start a thread on LAF to make a record of progress and hopefully keep me motivated so here goes.
The first mission requires some Zombies, Giant Rats and Giant Spiders, so i picked up a sprue of Fireforge Zombies off ebay and painted them up.
Once i got a recipe for dead flesh it was no different to painting historical figures.

There are some great heads on this sprue, I particularly like the chap losing his eye and the head with the broken jaw (ouch)

Lovely zombies. I look forward to seeing what you do with RoSD. I only started about a month ago and I've really been enjoying it. It has a simple yet elegant game mechanic and a great narrative feel.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Handful of figures in the shape of some Giant Rats, my Ranger and his companion armed with a bow.
I'll think of some names for these characters while I get the rest of his team together.

The rats are about the size of a large dog, they make my skin crawl I hate rats.
Nearly enough figures completed for scenario 1 of the first mission :)

Handful of civilians/targets/objectives for the ROSD missions, the chap with his hands in the air could be a low level Cleric I suppose.
