Aw, that one thug almost beat the worm.  Almost.

I must have painted thirty of that particular fig at this point.  Such a good base for kitbashing, in part because it's so cheap.

Those worms look great - so much variety in the kitbashing makes them all look like different figures.

Yep, both components are Reaper Bones figs from teh original "white stuff" range.  Very fortuitously sized for the kitbash.  :)

Your toads are strangely adorable.

There's something I don't say every day.

They seem to be smirking, don't they...:)

Nice set up.

Does that include the ruins you showed earlier?

Thanks, yes. There's more than enough to fill the 3x3 board we use, so not all of it comes out all the time.

I think I need to make some more levels though - a bit of height wouldn't hurt.

Verticality is always a plus.  You ever try doing a sewer/catacombs layout beneath the main board, set up on a second table?  We played around with that sort of thing back in the 80s when the FLGS had a mad genius kitbashing terrain all the time and it worked well, although obviously very differently than a single board with lots of elevations.  Also took up a lot more room, but the guy owned the place so no one was going to tell him no.  :)
