Caryth Darkelf + Borax Bloodaxe + Green Stuff

Caryth the Darkelf (Freebooter) and Borax Bloodaxe, one of the eight Dwarf Lords of Legend! These are the last two miniatures painted in 2013. More next year. Happy holidays!

An unlikely duo!

The detail on this miniature is amazing.

Caryth came in three parts and has plenty of detail on such a tiny frame. I developed a new technique for her blades: blue steel. The original base was square, so I borrowed an old idea from another Dwarf Lord of Legend and gave her an Orc's head to rest her foot on. First time using Green Stuff. I usually Tamiya Epoxy Putty. A little different in texture but it came out just fine.

Original base and new one with Green Stuff.

Old School Gaming Shelf + HeroQuest + Meme

Apparently there is a club going on. Entry requires posting a photo of your book shelf. Well, feast your eyes on some old school glory!

Lots of D&D and a few treasured tomes besides. Some books are on loan. That's how I roll.

 

 

Also, my kids love playing this:

The kids next door have borrowed the other box.

Skull Mountains + Orcs of the Severed Hand

All I got for Christmas... was this awesome Mountain of Skulls! Thanks Lewis!

Orc Skull Mountains!

Also in the photo shoot are my Orcs of the Severed Hand (Dragon Lords Grenadier Box Set).

Merry Men + Citadel + Merry Christmas

The Merry Men of Sherwood Forest. Robin Hood and his merry fellows, Friar Tuck and Little John.

Friar Tuck, Robin Hood and Little John.

It's Christmas Eve here in New Zealand. Merry Christmas and I hope there is plenty of good cheer for you tomorrow. God bless and goodnight!

The Known World of Blackhawk

I am busy working on The Known World of Blackhawk, combining elements of the current campaign and over thirty years of fantasy gaming. I will be posting details of the world and house rules as the adventure continues.

Tune in to find out more about Star Hat University, The Order of The Axe, personalities, magic items and perhaps a map or two.

Asterix + Obelix + Dogmatix

The heroes of that village of indomitable Gauls; Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix. I enjoyed reading many of their adventures as a child. There were even a few movies! The humour of the comic books still tickles my funny bone.

Blackhawk + Tower of Skulls + The Necromancer

Tower of Skulls

The Necromancer. Not a popular fellow. He has the sort of personality that leaves you cold. Thousands of years old, he has been defeated by many legendary heroes, only to return with vengeance a century or so later.

It is rumoured he has a fortress, the Tower of Skulls, hidden deep in the World's Edge Mountains, beyond the Borderlands and the Caves of Chaos. Certainly not where you might take a pleasant stroll for an afternoon picnic.

In the world of Blackhawk™, this foreboding mountain fortress is only sought by those who have clearly lost their minds (or are about to). The Necromancer is not one to be trifled with. Although the ruins appear abandoned, in his service are legions of creatures dark and foul, living and undead.

Inspired by this awesome new piece of terrain that Lewis found in a pet shop. It's far too good to decorate a fish tank!
