Thank you for the nice comments, guys!
@Thantsants: What a brilliant idea! I will consider this when I do a similar thing in the future! ...and I mean it!
OK, here is the final picture with Pyrate Goblins, some rather injured gobbo and a ... chef:
Man, that injured one really looks nasty.
These two are rather hard to get it seems as they were not included in the boxed set and do not show up on ebay very often. I had to order them from the US and paid a lot for shipping. But what else can you do when you are on fire with a project? Just sigh and obey, it seems.
...on to the critters:
Very early on, I decided that I would use the sea demons by Four A Miniatures. The brilliant sculpts are by one of my favourite sculptors, Paul Muller, and look utterly mischievous and evil while having a slightly comical element to them. Perfect as opponents for the Rackham Goblins! These fellows are a pleasure to paint and have a very high casting quality; virtually no flash at all!
Champion and, ahem, another champion:
...and my favourite, the Sea Witch:
...she is holding some kind of squid familiar in her left hand, simply fantastic, is she not?
Some monsters were painted, too.
First, again a Paul Muller sculpt by Four A Miniatures:
...as you will see later on, the game will take place in some underground lagoon, so the Creature from the Black Lagoon was obligatory.
An undead crab by Reaper Miniatures:
'Undead?' I hear you ask. Yes, Undead! You can even see its last meal through the rotten carapace:
I do not particularly like the paint job on this, but it had to be finished, so I painted it rather sloppily. The colours, however, are not imagined, but taken from an example that really exists:
...unbelievable, is it not? Nature's inventions can be soo great to behold...
Last, there is some squid creature I painted:
That's it for now, hope you enjoyed the pics! Next up will be the table(...at long last!) and how I built it!
