Dungeon Crawl Project: More Pics Added!

[Engel]

This is good, real good.
Great work.

[Funghy-Fipps]

Thanks all.

I like them! I'm afraid you've tipped me into a further purchase from Ral Partha to get those ogres - they're perfect!

Ral Partha certainly have some excellent and affordable wares for the old-school fantasy gamer!  I love browsing through their site as I always seem to stumble upon some new strangeness that get my juices going (if you know what I mean). 

I've looked at the fantasy trip (not for me), and advanced fighting fantasy... but am intrigued by what you mention about modding the coreheim rules - would you be prepared to share these? (If so I'll drop you a pm)

I've almost finished writing up my 'own' rules having play-tested them to satisfaction.  As I wrote earlier they're based on a mish-mash of Mordheim, Coreheim and Advanced HeroQuest.  I'd be happy to send you a PDF version, but please bear-in-mind that they're work-in-progress and still need a fair bit of editing!  Also, I've yet to write up the magic items and Cleric prayers...

Lots of old skool goodness there. Fantastically painted and they definitely fit in well together. Can't wait to see the write-ups of the dungeon crawls.

[Thantsants]

Apologies for getting to the party late - not sure how I missed this thread - apart from not being around much lately... 

Cracking project you've got here - just read from the start and it sounds like I was drawn into fantasy in a similar manner - although only got a few games of Advanvced Heroquest in on the copy my old mate owned.

The dungeon tiles are looking great and I'm liking your choice in minis - I have the other variant of the Otherworld toad sat before on my painting desk as I type! Ral Partha and Redbox are obviously companies I should check out if I can ever kick my citadel habit...

Anyway - Top Work!

[Funghy-Fipps]

Cheers guys.

It's funny how many of our generation were introduced to this pastime in more-or-less exactly the same way (id est, HeroQuest and/or Space Crusade).  I take it you're a lover of fantasy literature, too? 

Not much to report at the present as I've been working on a gaming board over the weekend.  Here's a couple of Ral Partha giant Stag Beetles I finished last week:

[Thantsants]

Well I do have a fairly large library of Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf game books if that counts!

Mind you - apart from Tolkien, the odd bit of Alan Garner and the Conan novels I don't actually read a great deal of fantasy literature - Arthur C Clarke and Zombie novels seem to have tempted me away!

Sadly rulebooks like Warhammer Fantasy Battle 3rd and 2nd ed. feature quite highly on my reading list... 

Nice beetles - I shall have to come back here for inspiration when I get painting my gribblies - got a load of the old citadel creepy crawlies which should be a nice strain on the eyes!

[Spooktalker]

Great new additions since last I stopped in here. The bonebacks are great and I dig those Schwarze Auge beetles. I eventually went with the prepaint D&D ones (heresy, I know) but these tempted me.

[Funghy-Fipps]

Well, that was a seriously long break.  I haven't really touched anything gaming related for a few months, but after rummaging through my paint-station-hideaway-desk-thing over the weekend and unearthing some of the cool models I'd amassed for the Dungeon Crawl Project I knew the time was right to dive right back in.  And here's today's effort:

I know: 'not more freaking Bob Olley', you're thinking, but I really can't get enough of this stuff.  Hopefully I will get more done over the coming weeks/months/years/decades (delete as appropriate).    Oh yes and my rules - By Might and Magic - are nearing completion, too (or, rather, they were when I put them down about six months ago...). 

[Mister Rab]

Oh he's great 

Glad to see you back in action.

[FramFramson]

Love that giant! Nice smooth job!

[aggro84]

Nice Giant. 

I enjoyed giving the entire project thread another look over as well. 

[manic _miner]

 That is really nice.

[Calimero]

Very nice indeed

[Christian]

Being a fellow Bob Olley tragic I am really not at all bothered by you posting this miniature!!! Great work! 

[Stahlfürst]

Very nice stuff on the whole thread! Being a hero quest and RPG veteran, I'm easily tempted by dungeons.

I have some of these minis myself - the stag beetles, the heresy giant slugs and the RBG goblins. All great miniatures, and all unpained, of course. I also like Olley's giants/ogres/trolls and toyed with the idea to get some, but I went with Otherworld for ogres and Reaper for trolls.

Keep it up!
