A Gaggle of Elder Things

 

So what do you call a group of Elder Things? I'm going with 'gaggle'.

Anyway, these are from RAFM Miniatures and are, in my humble opinion, the best sculpt for Elder Thingies on the market.

Painting them was pretty simple. Just wet brushed onto a black undercoat the various colours I wished to use. I think I'll paint their eyes black however. Look more creepier and soulless that way.

Barrage Miniatures Viking Boat also useful for 10mm & 15mm

 

So I posted the other day regarding the Barrage Miniatures Viking Boat being useful for 28mm and using it for my D&D game. One thing I also noticed with the Barrage Miniatures boat was that it would also make a pretty decent Viking Longship for 10mm miniatures. As such, it would also be suitable for 15mm as well. I'll show you what I mean:

It's probably just on the larger size for 10mm, and it would require a piece of dowel rod to make a mast for the ship, but I think it does a decent job of it. The Barrage Miniatures Viking Ship would be too big for this, but their smaller boat is a great price and would be very suitable. If it works for 10mm and 28mm, then it would also suit for 15mm miniatures as well.

Barrage Miniatures Viking Boat for D&D

 

I bought last year some Viking Boats from Barrage Miniatures and recently painted them. These really are beautifully rendered in resin and the lady who now runs Barrage Miniatures was wonderful to deal with. I ended up buying two of the 'Viking Boats' and the 'River Barge' for use in our D&D game. They also make a very nice 'Viking Ship' that is about 1/3 larger than the boat and so would fill the gap of an exploration ship for the player characters.

I'll make another post on this regarding something else I discovered about this boat. So stay tuned.

High Queen Khalida Neferher

 

High Queen Khalida Neferher. I've had this miniature for years but haven't gotten around to painting her. Now however my D&D group are, when we can meet between successive lockdowns :( , exploring  tomb complex and are about to meet her. So that was the impetus for me to finally get around to painting her.

Now I just need to paint her Chief Priest. On to the next paint job!
