Grim Fairy Tales project, new pictures 05/08

[robh]

I added the promised pictures of the D&D "wandering" monsters in the post above...better late than never

Plus you may have noticed a change of thread title. Now that I have a picture to post of the first of my character groups I thought it about time I "owned up" as to what this project is all about.  

Grim Fairy Tales is my attempt to build a narrative gaming world populated and inspired by a lot of the characters from the stories of the Brothers Grimm, but not as you may remember them. Players will get to adventure in this world, and interact with/undertake quests for the storybook characters

So here to give you an idea:  the adventure of Snow White.



Snow White as a vengeful sword wielding paladin, her Prince and 7 brave dwarves. Fighting against forces summoned and controlled by the evil queen/stepmother and her minions.

Only just seen this thread lots of lovely eye candy but I really like the mushroom men...very cool

[Comsquare]

Nice work on Snow White and the gang.
Am tempted to do something similar after I saw "Snow White and the Huntsman"

[Simlasa]

Oh! Usually I'm all over the bad guys and monsters and ignore the white-hats... but the idea of a Snow White warband is absolutely ACE!

[Svennn]

All very nice but the standard bearer conversion really caught my eye - very simple but pure genius

Thanks, I have the Queen and the first of her forces underway now, hope to get them done over the weekend.

   Then Red Riding Hood and Hansel & Gretel will be much more your thing.

I am still working on the storylines for Rapunzel and Rumplestiltskin.

Well done! Great themes! I don't feel so guilty about my Faerie Troop idea now...

[Chaos Wolf]

Hey, great stuff here.Very cool idea. I'm looking forward to seeing your take on other fairy tale characters.

Small update on some new figures for this project. Still on the "Snow White" adventure section:

The Evil Queen/Stepmother

Reaper Dark Elf. Very tall and sinister looking.

The Queens Huntsman. The "Bogeyman" is a common trend through many genres of folklore, a generic "evil" character who takes away naughty children. Here is one incarnation of said figure, a truly wonderful sculpt from Heresy.


I have taken the route that the Evil Queen will have evil fighters and hellish beasts at her command (Evil fighters like Thugs and Marauders rather than Cultist types). Several D&D Abbyssal types will be making appearances here:

Abbyssal Ravagers, WotC D&D Chainmail miniatures.


Abbyssal Skulkers, more WotC D&D Chainmail miniatures.


Then a suitably large Treeman for the Witches summoned forces. This one from UltraForge, the Tree Lord.


Next up will be some bits & pieces for the "Witchfinder" sub project, Blinders, Nochtelinger and Barghests.

Fantastic work. Looking forwards to Red Riding Hood and jack the beanstalk!

Nice additions. 

[Sinewgrab]

Absolutely beautiful.  A top-notch workup of an original idea. Love it!

[Mason]

The new additions are great, Rob.
Love 'em!
 


I may well be having a closer look at the WotC D&D range.
It looks like there are some great sculpts in there.

Lovely stuff, who makes that big World of warcraft scarecrow?

Lovely stuff, who makes that big World of warcraft scarecrow?

That was explained somewhere, it's... a World of Warcarft Pre-painted plastic figure.... slightly converted if I recall correctly.
