Dungeons & Dragons – Daisygate Chapter 10: “SPINOR”

These are my notes as a player as this Chapter was DMed by  first-time Dungeon Master Tony, who did a great job despite having the handicap of having to run the game remotely due to the current pandemic. This was my second game as a player. Our heroes were hanging out in the Unnamed Tavern when […]

Deal the cards, mortal!” Dungeon Master (me) thinking: “Oh f*ck! How do I run this???” The above actually happened in a recent Dungeons & […]

Dungeons & Dragons – Daisygate Chapter 7: The Mind Controller

Having found the strange and alien Mind Controlling Device, our heroes realised they had no idea how to use it. But they were certain the device, the Black Sapphire, the Mind Flayer, the tentacles, the cultists all of it were linked so they reviewed what they had learned so far about the Deep Planes and […]

Warhammer 40.000 – Rogue Trader – Hrothyogg – Ogre Captain (Games Workshop)

I am a big fan of the old Rogue Trader Orks. They have so much personality. But back when i played Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, I didn’t have access to the fantastic Ogres and Ogryns from Citadel. So it has been a pleasure suddenly being able to paint not just this amazing Ogre by Jes […]

Dungeons & Dragons – Pyre

This is an example of a freakishly fast built piece of scenery. Drying time aside, I probably spent 20 minutes building and painting it and it works!

Dungeons & Dragons – Male Knight with Sword and Shield (Darksword Miniatures)

I actually think I got this miniature as a gift from Darksword minis with a large order, but he is such a classical miniature, I just had to paint him! Really happy with the result too.

Dungeons & Dragons – Tywin Lannister (Darksword Miniatures)

I think the George R.R. Martin line from Darksword Miniatures has some fantastic miniatures for cityfolk of all ranks including this mini of Tywin Lannister. In our current Dungeons & Dragons campaign “Daisygate” he plays the part of a retired general who now acts as advisor and bodyguard to the ruler of the town.

Dungeons & Dragons – Plague Cult lead by Tcho-tcho (Fenris Games)

I bought an awesome Cthulhu-esque monolith, but obviously you can’t have that without cultists to worship it so I also got this gang of masked cultists. Cultists worshipping their icon

Dungeons & Dragons -Living Icon (Fenris Games)

I buy minis for what I need to play, but once in a while I pick something up just because it is cool, such as this Living Icon from Fenris Games. I decided to go all out on the living element of it and painted all eyes as natural eyes. To give them an additional […]
