Talisman

Nice

Don't suppose you have a spare Tin Man? 

[Welf VIII.]

Sorry, no I only have four and am currently looking for a fifth to form a small regiment (using the rules for Ogres should I ever play Warhammer with my classic dwarf army). Prefer a damaged version as I am going to work on him.

only four damn, I've got only none!

Some more stuff.

A spell effect, "waiting Death" or something like that, Pit Fiend, Werewolf and Gambler all to be fixed onto the board.


A champion and as I wasn't able to find any suitable Djinn I used this very old and ugly one by Ral Partha. Originally I planned to use the upper part of a C22 Earth Elemental and the lower part of the Air Elementel, but this proved to be too expensive.
I think Night Horror's Slyme works better as a Doppelganger then the miniature of the range with Doppleganger on its tab.


The last of the Undead


The third and last Dragon and the last wild animals.


And finally three Wizards.


Bought me some place to store some miniatures in and wanted to let you know.


Got to start with the table now.

These are all BEAUTIFUL figures and paint jobs!

I know that somewhere in the thread you have probably said this, but who makes the Doppelganger?
I am fascinated by him.

[Welf VIII.]

Thank you!

Both miniatures I have posted are part of Citadel's Night Horrors Range (#130422 & 130429) :

With the exception of the old and ugly Ral Partha Djinn all miniatures are from Citadel's Golden Age during the mid and late 80s. Tried to get as many Aly Morrison sculpts as possible, because I wanted them to harmonize with the Adventurers.

very cool stuff, Welf. This Ral Partha Djinn isn't ugly at all, actually I find his style fits all that Talisman stuff very well

Now I need the Gambler too 

[Welf VIII.]

Just a few days left and here is where I am at the moment:

priceless..

is this the sofa where I shall sleep at coming Saturday?

The board is looking very cool, Olli, like the concept, keep it going!

[Welf VIII.]

Was finally able to finish* it just in time. Here are some pictures from the Adventure Con a small roleplaying convention in Hamburg. The pictures show what you get, when bad light conditions and shite photographing skills meet each other.











I hosted five games with four to five players on both the tactica and the adventure con in three to fours, which is not that bad for Talisman.

Although I mainly used the rules of the 2nd Edition I introduced some minor rule-changes to fasten up the game:

- Fate Points allowing the characters to re-roll one dice (used in 4th Ed. to bolster weaker characters)
- You advance after four and not seven points for each slain monster
- If you rolled the dice to move your character in the previous round you may decide not to roll the dice but just move one
square
- safe in ...: Roll the dice but ignore negative results
- characters who are entitled to always have one spell draw their new spell after they have finished their turn (you may only cast one spell per turn that way)
- every character may only drink from the fountain of youth and similar locations once.

I have to admit I am still not really convinced by that game, but well, the miniatures do it for me.

I know I have to rework some parts, the scrappy temple will be replaced by a better model some time.

Great project!

That is one serious undertaking, massive collection of figures and a great board to use them on.
Cracking work.
Love it!

Looks amazing!
