Drager og Dæmoner Dungeons & Dragons – Undead Giant Cyclops (Fantasy Lords – Grenadier Models)

May 21, 2020 scrollmaster

Back in the 80s when I first started playing RPGs we really didn’t have access to a lot of miniatures, which meant when you found something unusual and cool, you grabbed it! That’s how I ended up with my first version of this fantastic Undead Cyclops from Grenadier Models 1988. That version has long since been chopped up and most bits lost, but I found a similar one on eBay and jumped the chance to get it again. I have to say, this one really has held its own against the tides of time and is still as cool as…

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – 25th Anniversary Grim Reaper (Reaper Miniatures)

May 21, 2020 scrollmaster

My wife bought me this a while back. As I wasn’t sure what to use it for, I never got around to paint it as I tend to paint what i need for the game. However, I sat down and painted it and good thing I did as I suddenly needed it as a fallback option in our Daisygate campaign as we had a TPK! Quite happy with the result. Maybe the glow could have been toned down a bit, but I am happy with it. I am not really sure what to categorise Death as. I know he looks…

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Mob of Dwarven Undead (multiple manufacturers)

December 16, 2019 scrollmaster

I spent quite a long time looking for Dwarven undead and was quite proud of the gang I had painstakingly collected, so when I found the Macrocosm box of dwarven skellies, it was with mixed feelings. However, I still think the gang I’ve collected is a pretty cool team and I painted their bases in lava style to distinguish them from the lowly cannon fodder skeletons.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Dwarf and Goblin Skeletons (Macrocosm Games)

October 23, 2019 scrollmaster

I’ve spent the last year and a half finding dwarven undead… I’ve found 5 minis so far and then I found the Ancient Grudges – Bonefields set from Macrocosm Games that has a ton of Dwarf and Goblin Skellies! Great variety and quality of these little cute minis. I painted them using this speed painting technique for skeletons. Took maybe 2.5 – 3 hours in total minus drying time and the result is good.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Ghost (Reaper Bones)

October 13, 2019 scrollmaster

I picked this Ghost up ages ago, but kept putting off painting it, which is stupid as painting it was literally: Spray black, drybrush and add a bit of details. done!

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Empire of Dust Skeleton Regiment (Mantic Games) and 2 Sokar Skeletons (Reaper Miniatures)

October 13, 2019 scrollmaster

I wanted some skeletons to look more elite, more organised and more dangerous and I found this Egyptian skeleton regiment at Mantic Games. It comes with 20 skeletons, but the set comes with so many bits, so I only made 10 of them as I am not sure whether to make the last 10 more ordinary skellies. I also had two Sokar skeletons from Reaper that fitted neatly in. These Skeletons are all speed painted and I used the same speed painting techniques on the Enslaved Guardians and Avatar of Sekhmet.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Undead Kitty Cats of Doom (Darksword Miniatures)

August 29, 2019 scrollmaster

When I saw these I had an immediate sneaky plan! Can’t wait to put it to play. Great simple miniatures. The Kitty Cats with their master

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Mummy Queen Netikerti, Nefsokar Mage (Reaper Miniatures)

August 29, 2019 scrollmaster

I do think undead is the best race in Dungeons and Dragons. Yes, I love Goblins, but undeads you can get from the very lowest level and all the way up. I think they also offers the greatest variety and there is something elegant about Egyptian themed undead like this Mummy Queen from Reaper miniatures. The Mummy Queen with her kittens

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – The Witch King (Rage Craft Miniatures)

June 28, 2019 scrollmaster

I only recently learned about Rage Craft Miniatures , but when I saw the photos of this amazing Witch King I bought it immediately. And the real miniature didn’t disappoint! In fact, I’d say eventhough I am happy with the paintjob on this one, it doesn’t do the miniature justice! Really badass undead dude.Would work well as a Death Knight with it’s own personality rather than being a copy of Lord Soth.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Vampire Countess (Avatars of War)

June 28, 2019 scrollmaster

Saw this miniatures years ago but didn’t have a use for it (I tend to paint only what I need for playing). And although our D&D party is nowhere near at the level where they can fight vampires, I still think the chance they might one day is a good enough reason to buy and paint it! To me she is the kind of vampire that comes with armour and swords rather than spells.

Aberrations Dungeons & Dragons – Death Tyrant (Jax Miniatures on Shapeways)

March 20, 2019 scrollmaster

i cannot believe I haven’t made a page for this Death Tyrant from Jax Miniatures !! i actually painted it in the beginning of last year (2018) when I first started playing Dungeons & Dragons again after a 20 year break. It was even the inspiration for Bebbie the Beholder Bartender. Anyway, better late than never.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Cryx Captain Rengrave (Privateer Press)

October 30, 2018 scrollmaster

I was part of “the wave” when IK Warmachine first hit and was a diehard Cryx player for a long time before I felt the game got too big. But I keep up with what the produce so when I needed an undead captain for a Dungeons & Dragons game, it was an easy choice to get Captain Rengrave. I actually rand short on time so speed painted him following the technique I used for my Zombicide game and I’m quite pleased with the result.
