Adventures in Hyboria with CROM

[Cherno]

You are a bad man for watching that show and you should feel bad!

However, I'll let it slide this time because your miniatures and terrain looks awesome  

[aggro84]

Nice updates!
You have assembled quite a fine collection of miniatures and terrain.

Great,like this project.The jungle and all the rest cool stuff.
Weiter so.

@Legion The ape are produced by Obelisk Miniatures in their Darkest Africa series.

@Cherno I´m not ashamed of anything!

So far i managed today to paint this little fellow and half assembled the rest of the black warriors.


I would like to finish some more later today. Perhaps the bandits or some skeletons.

[Suber]

Wow, you did make the most out of that toy! I didn't expect it to look sooo good!

[southheaven]

I actually do have some practice. These are two bags of dinosaurs 1,50€ each and i didn´t even paint all of them. Just put them on 40mm bases, get your washes out and go wild.

What i learned is, that the cheap chinese plastic doesn´t work well with my finish spray. It all get´s shiny and sticky.

[Suber]

Love them! You have your own Jurassic Park!

[Mason]

Great to see this project up and running again.
There are some wonderful additions since I last looked and those cheapo dinos certainly fit the bill.

Very nice work, there.

@Suber Don´t give me any stupid ideas! 

So, i need some help from the group creativity. I have three jungle markers so far, but might need up to three more. Currently i´m out of ideas.
There´s one with some rocks, which will get some scrubs, one with two head, a sacrifice from the cannibals and another one with a spear and horn as a hunting trophy.

I do want to make each one different and i want to make them more than just markers. They should be little scenery pieces on their own right, firering up the imagination.

So any suggestions?

[Mason]

How about a shield with a snake or several snakes wrapped around it?

or

A shield with vines and other creeper type plants growing on it?

[Cherno]

Four fine young cannibals on one side

Only now did I see this tiny reference... Great

The Triceratops looks cool, a big improvement over it's plastic toy origin.

[Suber]

A treasure could be attractive. Gems and so. Nothing refined, but rather raw looking.
The animal idea is also fine. Not only snakes, but swarms of ants or spiders could work too (giant bugs are always preferable, of course ).
As (no matter what I'm told) I cannot avoid giving stupid ideas I'd look for a small Pterodactylus perching on the shield. What about some kind of spirit going around the shield or maybe an undead rising?

So, after the SoBH debacle* it´s time to concentrate on the things, that are best in life ... play CROM and hear the lamentations of your loosing fellow gamers!

So finally i finished the five hero characters based for adventures in the shemite deserts and the Black Kingdoms:
Belit**(Rakham), Maku(Heartbreaker), Conan(Avatars of War), Subotai(L5R) and a yet to be named shemite warrior(Reaper)

Yes i know Subotai is from Hyrkania and not Kithai, but i could not yet find a better model.

So, next are some fine snakes. The Demoness is from Reaper, the snake amazons are from Excalibur Miniatures and are sold in a box of twelve. So i got another archer and six amazons bearing two short daggers.


*it hasn´t really been a debacle. SoBH is a fine game, you should give a try. It´s just not our kind of game.
**the Pirate queen, not the tail wearing movie one

Wow!
Nice collection of miniatures you have assembled!
 
I keep feeling the pull of a Conan project, but I never seem to get one going!
