More Rangers of Shadow Deep With a Dash of D&D...

Its been a bit of a miscellaneous bunch of figures this week.

Two skellie archers to get them up to strength, a restless spirit, a champion of evil, a yuan-ti archer and I found the last of my survivors and gave him a quick paintjob to.

I also made some terrain: the pillars in the background

The skellies, knight and survivor are from Ral Partha and the spirit and snake woman are from Alternative Armies.

A couple of scenarios have a vulture as a kind of eye in the sky spy for the evil overlord.
I thought I'd try something a little different and sculpted this guy instead.
It's a D&D monster thats basically a giant eyeball with wings,big claws and a rat tail with a stinger that cries piosonous tears called an eyewing, 

Here he is "nekkid"


And with a little paint on him..


I've started experimenting on sculpting some crates and treasure chests and  have a group of demonworld goblins primed and ready for paint.

Also the tile these photo's were taken on is part of an old dungeon tile project which I'm looking to revive soon so, if you like what you see, stay tune for more.

Cheers,
Stroezie.

New Splintered Light Miniatures Kickstarter

Just thought I'd give you all a head's up.
There's a new kickstarter from Splintered Light for a whole passel of new beastmen from Ben Siens.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/splinteredlightminis/warriors-of-the-black-root-forest/?ref=kicktraq

Goatmen,lionmen,bearmen,tree creatures and a truely kickass Minotaur.
Some nice attainable stretch goals and a large tree creature/treant earlybird extra.
There's also deals for existing Ben Siens sculpts(orcs,goblins,dark elves...) and you can get them at a discount as add ons to your pledge.
just backed this myself, both for the new ones and to get my mits on some of the older stuff.

What's That Buzzing Sound ?

Like I said I seem to be on a roll.
Lets hope I keep on rolling.😎

Here are the survivors.
They are from Ral Partha, lovely models, so full of character.
I can see so many uses for them, survivors, angry villagers/lynch mob, down on their luck bandids...


"Don't you think all zombies kind of all look alike ?"
I was never a fan of the whole zombie trope and would have preferred to have swapped them out for maybe some kind of humanoid spider hybrid (in ROSD the giant spiders bite turns people into zombies) but well ... meh...
So I speed painted these, not the best paintjob ever, but for tabletop they'll do.


And of course all that rotting flesh starts attracting flies doesn't it!
Some cheap chinese plastic flies which I simply based and then could not resist touching up the badly painted eyes.


That's it for now.
Sculpting the five casualty markers is probably going to take me a bit longer, though I may cop out and just chop up some extra minis I have lying around and use those to make them instead.

Cheers,
Stroezie.
