Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Fairy Huntress (Darksword Miniatures) & Fairies (Firestorm Games)
December 2, 2018 scrollmaster

Sometimes I throw away the packaging of miniatures a bit too fast… leaving me later to wonder who the hell the manufacturer is! That is the case of the two larger fairies below. I bought them at Salute 2018 – fortunately, a tweet from Salute 2019 pointed me to the manufacturer being Firestorm Games for their game “Moonstone’. Thew smaller fairy is a Fairy Huntress from ever-awesome Darksword Miniatures.

Dragonkin Dungeons & Dragons – Blue Female Dragonkin Sorcerer (Dark Sword Miniatures)
March 4, 2018 scrollmaster

One of my friends is playing Dungeons & Dragons for the first time and when I first spoke to her about it, her first reaction was she wanted to be a big scruffy barbarian guy! However, after having done some research on her own she changed her mind to a Dragonborn Sorcerer, which was an amazing u-turn… and I had actually bought this amazing Dragonkin Mage from Darksword Miniatures so perfect timing. The complete party for “War of the Triplets”

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Male Dwarf Barbarian (Ryjka MacHroth – Hasslefree Miniatures)
March 4, 2018 scrollmaster

The Dwarf player of my “War of the Triplets” campaign is new to Dungeons and Dragons, but I know his sense of humour so this pipe-smoking, beer guzzling cheeky dwart miniature from Hasslefree Miniatures was perfect. Besides, I’ve always wanted to paint Hasslefree minis, but since I only paint what I can play with, I’ve never had much of an excuse to buy some… now I do. Dwarf with “Mr Giggles” The complete party for “War of the Triplets”

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – High Elf Male Ranger – Two variants (Darksword Miniatures)
March 4, 2018 scrollmaster 1Comment

My partner is new to Dungeons & Dragons and se chose to be a High Elf Ranger, who has had to exile himself for various reasons. However, when we were browsing for a miniature for her, she found two art Darksword Miniatures that she liked and in the end we got both and I painted them the same so she can swap them around as she pleases. Wat was interesting was, I would have defaulted to painting them green-ish like a classic Ranger had she not had a clear mind in her head of what she wanted him to look…

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Human Female Necromancer (Dark Sword Miniatures)
February 9, 2018 scrollmaster

This Necromancer was the chief baddie in Chapter 1 of the Dungeons & Dragons campaign: War of the Triplets. The first ever adventure I’ve created in decades, I could even say in this millinia, was based around a Unicorn my partner found at Leisure Games. And when I was looking to find a suitable adversary, I found this amazing Female Necromancer from Dark Sword Miniatures. And the rest of the first adventure took shape from there. Obviously a Necromancer is way too tough a boss for a level 1 party, so the way it ended up working was, she was busy transforming…

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Male Human Wizard (tbc)
February 9, 2018 scrollmaster

This Wizard acted as a Mock-Necromancer featured in Chapter 1 of the Dungeons & Dragons campaign: War of the Triplets. I bought this guy randomly as I thought the way the miniature was sculpted was quite interesting. I’m glad I did as the mock-Necromancer I needed for the first chapter of my Dungeons & Dragons capaign, didn’t arrive in time!

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Spectre, Ghost and Wraith (Caoimhe – Hasslefree Miniatures)
February 9, 2018 scrollmaster

The Moonclad spectre featured in Chapter 1 of the Dungeons & Dragons campaign: War of the Triplets. Some miniatures are just easier to paint than others. Take for example the ghostly see-through Caoimhe minis from Hasslefree… How easy were they to paint! šŸ˜‰ Love these by the way. Decided to paint the bases in Spring, Autumn and Winter colours dependant on how dangerous they are.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Wolfen Shadow Trackers and Sacred Vestals (Rackham Miniatures)
February 6, 2018 scrollmaster

These Wolfen featured in Chapter 1 of the Dungeons & Dragons campaign: War of the Triplets. I’ve always been a fan of Rackham miniatures, but I must admit the Sacra Vestals minis were a bit of a disappointment. In any case, I speed-painted my way through these three mainly as a backup as the Wolfen were more like victims than enemies in the adventure… buuut just in case the players decided to attack them, I needed the minis. Luckily they didn’t so I haven’t actually used these in the campaign yet.

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Nightmare (D&D Collector’s Series)
February 6, 2018 scrollmaster

This Nightmare featured inĀ Chapter 1 of the Dungeons & Dragons campaign: War of the Triplets. This mini was fun to paint, but it was a back-up mini in the game if things went wrong. Essentially the party was to save a Unicorn from being sacrificed in a evil ritual to create a Nightmare. Fortunately for the unicorn the players managed to stop the ritual, but that meant the Nightmare didn’t get to take the stage…. this time! As you may have noticed there’s a burning horse corpse as well. This was used by a mock Necromancer to create diversion to…

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons & Dragons – Zombie Werewolf (Reaper Miniatures)
February 6, 2018 scrollmaster

This Zombie Werewolf featured as a Wolfen Zombie inĀ Chapter 1 of the Dungeons & Dragons campaign: War of the Triplets. Oh this was one fun miniature to paint. The thing about playing Dungeons & Dragons is that you are not limited to a certain range of miniatures as you would be with a tabletop wargame or boardgame. As such you can pick up random minis like this one and suddenly an adventure snip;pet forms in your head, in this case I thought this Zombie Werewolf was perfect as a Wolfen ZombieĀ an unholy abomination used as a powerful guardian.
