The surprise of seeing the two gunslinging wraiths, Billy the Wight and Calamabanshee Jane playing poker, was short-lived. The wraiths, casually playing poker as the heroes entered, suddenly got up from their poker game and bolted in different directions pulling their pistols from the holsters. The shootout at the Unlucky Horseshoe was on! DM note, […]
A shoot-out can be a novel and fun way to make a combat encounter with a twist While D&D traditionally is more on the mideaveal side, you can still have a shoot-out with bows, throwing axes and spells… Or introduce some guns. The trick is to prevent melee without aggravating your players. Here’s how I […]
After a surprisingly peaceful night at The Welcome, our heroes sat down at the lovely breakfast, Adolfuns, the animated—or possessed—cauldron that was the owner of the tavern, had prepared for them. Here the party shaped a plan for hiding two of them in Kaari’s Portable Hole for Pestilence to Teleport through the main gate and […]
Happy new year to all. Here are photos of my 2024 Winter Village, which is my second after my 2023 retro town moc. this was fun to build and i must admit the most fun was to to add snow to set 31050: Corner deli. In total this winter village consists of sets 10293: Santa’s […]
Another year of painting is coming to the end, which means another yearbook and a look back at what I’ve painted this year. While I still focus on painting what I need for our Dungeons & Dragons games, this year has been a year of retro Warhammer miniatures. I’ve increased the size of my Bad […]
Setting the scene It is closing in on Christmas in the City of Equilibrium. Having saved the party goers of the city, our heroes Double Trouble had been deputised as Investigators of the Balance. While they technically reported into the Grand Examiner Felix Marlowe, the role did not carry any official duties other than they […]
As i build up my LEGO Winter Village for 2024, I found this old, still sealed, Christmas polybag from 1995 with what is probably one of the first minifig santas. He uses a pirate bandana as a hat and wizards beard as santa beard! Fun little build.
The City of Equilibrium Click for larger image The City of Equilibrium is a large trading city located near the Crimson Stream, a river capable of carrying many ships to and from the city. Equilibrium is the home of the University of Necromantic Studies and the Temple of Vigilance and is ruled by the neutral and just Baron of Balance (simply know as “The Balance“). […]
This is the second mini I have painted up from the Gambler’s Chest expansion. Seems fitting as it is December at the time of writing this. I really had fun painting this evil santa, so many details and I had some challenges along the way one being painting Games Workshop White on top of Army […]
My wife bought me this badass troll for Christmas a while back and i finally got around to paint him. It was a speed paint job: Spray grey, drybrush with bone and ink Agrax Earthshade. Paint all crystals white. Several layers. Cover crystals in purple shade holding the mini upside down to help the darker […]
As I finish what is possibly the last dragon miniature for 2024, I realise it is also the first Metallic Dragon I have ever painted and I decided to capture what it is up against in terms of the adversarial chromatic dragon. Note I don’t have a Black Dragon in the collection. It is probably […]
I’ve already painted these menacing warriors once, but I need them for our current D&D campaign and need them with a darker, more ancient undead look as I want to use the Knight of the Bell miniature as a Death Knight guardian.
