King Koboldikus

Alas poor Korrick!

Here is "Snar Mangebelly, Kobold King" by Reaper Miniatures.

I prefer to think of him as King Koboldikus, a deranged lawful-evil paladin I played in a short 4th ed D&D game a few years ago.  Ah, good times.

Big Red

Lovely multi-part miniature from the genius at Bronze Age Miniatures.  Used this chap as a thikreen for a Dark Sun campaign I played in.

I botched this attempt at zenithal (with spray can) highlighting by using a dodgy varnish.

I saved it somewhat by re-painting.  Not great, but it'll do.  If I have the same problem, I've heard olive oil can help!  I'll be sure to rub myself down like a turk before painting next time.

Luke, I am your farter

Dwarf Vader (Heresy Miniatures) is a level 1 Dungeons and Dragons character who had the fortune of pinning down and choking out a dragon, MMA style.  I love 4th edition D&D!!  :)

This was my experiment in painting a miniature with an "open source lighting" effect; the light from the flaming fire sabre reflecting from the armour.  The colours in the photo are a little washed out, the flames looking a little better in real life.

Modular dungeon

Here are some bar room fight scenes played out in a Dungeons and Dragons game set in the Thunderspire Labyrinth last year.  I built the terrain from Hirst Arts fieldstone moulds, stained with tea (bags, not loose) and glued together in sections allowing for a modular set up.

The furnishings are mainly Hirts Arts and handmade, the cards on the table being made from slivers of matchstick and painted after being glued down.

The miniatures used are a combination of Grenadier plastic Fantasy Warriors orcs (now sold by EM-4), out of production pre-painted plastic D&D miniatures from Wizards of the Coast.  I think that a mate used a Asmodee Editions HellDorado figure.  The red counters are meant to represent areas of the underground tavern that are on fire.  I've since picked up some Gale Force 9 3d fire tokens which look a lot better.
