Elf Druid Player Character


Elven Druid

This new blogger is taking some getting use to. Hard to find where all the buttons are that I used before.

Anyway, here's the latest in the painting up of player character miniatures for my role playing group. This one is an elven druid. The actual miniature is a Reaper Miniatures Elven King if I remember correctly.


The lighting isn't the best because its been pretty overcast today. But with the flash, you should be able to make out most of the painting detail.





On to the next model!

A Barrow Wight


I needed a Barrow Wight armed with an axe for our next role playing session. I had a bunch of Army of the Dead, Lord of the Rings from GW lying around waiting to be painted so fortunately I had the perfect model to represent the Barrow Wight.


A fairly simple paint job later and it was done.


Apologies for the bad photos, but its been raining here pretty much most of the week, so its been hard to get good lighting.


Ready for the gaming table!

Scibor 28mm Dwarf Lord

Roooooooorrrrrrrrrgggggggg!

Meet Rorg, Dwarven barbarian and the latest painted edition to the player characters for our role playing group.

A little too much tanning mix there buddy!

Stuffed if I can remember who the manufacturer is of this excellent dude, but I'm pretty certain that it was Scibor miniatures. Yeap, he is! Found him here.


I left him standing on a stone block as an in-joke among the group. Everyone else is either human or elf, so shorty here feels a little inadequate. As such, I joke that he carries around a lump of stone or a box to stand on so that he doesn't feel so small. This has translated to the miniature the player uses in game.

It gets cold in them there mountains

This is a damn fine piece of work. Scibor do make some nice miniatures and this dude does come with his own rock to stand on. And yes, that is a bear skin (or is it a lion?) that he has made into a rug. PETA be damned! Dwarves don't care. If it comes a knocking looking for a dwarf for lunch, well it should expect that it will wind up being a shoulder rug in the not too distant future.

On to the next miniature!

Sybil from Massive Darkness/Zombicide boardgame


Here's an interesting observation. You would think that with the lock downs due to the pandemic, we all would have more spare time on our hands. Strangely I haven't found that that was the case. Why mention this? Well it just seems like I should have been cranking through my pile of pewter whilst in lock down and yet I have hardly achieved much in the way of painting.


One mini I have recently finished is 'Sybil' from Massive Darkness / Zombicide. This is a miniature being used by one of the players in our role playing group. Given the easing of lock down restrictions, we were finally able to get together to play after five months of isolation.


Anyway, Sybil is painted based on the character in the board game, but with one exception. She is painted as a Dark Elf from Skyrim in keeping with the player character from our D20 game.


Anyway, on with the painting. There's a few more player character's miniatures to get through so here's hoping I can knock some more out to show off. The blog has been a little bare of late.
