Chamax

Here are some 15mm Pendraken aliens painted up with a technique I pinched from TMP:

Racing Blue metallic spray from Tamiya, washed with Badab Black GW wash.

These were used in my running of the Chamax adventure "Plague" from 1983 for the new Mongoose Traveller. 


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.

An update at last!

Well, well, well.. So much for my blogging.  Over a year since my last post, I've hit a purple patch and feel as though it's the right time to update the blog with some of my recent output.

I've decided that life's too short not to "dip", especially when the results pretty good.  It's a common enough technique but I'll be posting my methods at some stage.

Here are the most recent additions to the glass cabinet (more to come!):
