Dungeons & Dragons – Troll (Blood Rage)

I saw this Troll mini by chance and I ordered it on the spot. What a fantastic powerful badass of a troll. However, I left it too late to paint him so ended up using contrast paint and a lot of drybrush and honestly, I am quite happy with the result.

Dungeons & Dragons – Halflings and Hobbits (Reaper Miniatures and Games Workshop)

I’ve group these two sets of fabulous Hobbits (ergh.. sorry Halflings) together as they form a nice little Farmer family with the LoTR minis being two sons. I used green contrast paint on these and it has convinced me to buy more contrast paints as it did speed up the painting.

Dungeons & Dragons – Goblins with Hand Weapons (Knightmare Miniatures)

I actually bought these goblins back when I bought their bow-armed cousins but never got around to paint them, which is a shame as i do love painting orcs and goblins.

Dungeons & Dragons – Black Goblins (Knightmare Miniatures)

More fantastic goblin minis from Knightmare Miniatures to add to my Goblins with bows, Goblins with hand weapons and Black Goblin Boss. Fun to paint these larger Goblins they have nice, retro feel equipment and feel to them.

Dungeons & Dragons – Dynamic Lenore (Hasslefree Miniatures)

I really like this miniature from Hasslfree Miniatures. They are incredibly good at making something simple look fantastic and this lady is no exception. I am also very happy with my paint job on this. Group of NPCs 2024 update I’ve finally got around to paint the static pose of Lenore

MEGA POST – My 2019 terrain boards and scatter!

Another year has passed and here are my scenery achievements for 2019. I didn’t do as much as in 2018, but given 2018 was all about getting the basic stuff done, this year was more do whatever is fun! Hard to pick what has been my favourite, but I think it is the combined Dragon’s […]

MEGA POST – My 2019 painted miniatures!

I think I painted about the same amount of miniatures in 2019 as I did in 2018. Rediscovering D&D after 20 year break has really revived my painting hobby. While I have been playing tabletop wargames (stopped around 2010), you tend to stick painting your army from the company that owns the game. With Dungeons […]

December 2019 and we have just finished our 2-year long campaign. Been something like 18 fun games and look forward to new games in 2020. Next year I plan a West Marches style campaign, less epic Hollywood movie trilogy and more nitty gritty local tv series. Here are the games we played in 2019. Dungeons […]

Campaign: War of the Triplets Dungeons and Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons – War of the Triplets, Chapter 11: Facing The Blinded Beholder Jethrolar the Unseeing Eye (aka all good things come to an end)

When I introduced 5 friends, who all but one had little to no experience with any roleplaying game, to Dungeons & Dragons early 2018, almost 2 years ago, I did not expect the oneshot would turn into an almost 2 year long campaign spanning 18 games. And it has been the best of what RPG […]

Dungeons & Dragons – How to use workshop techniques to structure your campaign

I’ve been listening to Mainframe 53 – Binary Agency on the Runehammer Patreon, which I highly recommend you join if you are a Dungeon Master. I agree with Hankerin’s philosophy of only preparing one game session at a time to allow for the players action to influence how the story progresses, but his admission that […]

Dungeons and Dragons Dwarves Undead

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

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 […]
