Otherworld Leeches for D&D

 

This ugly sod is a Giant Leech from Otherworld Miniatures. A very icky addition to our recent D&D game. I unleashed these on the PC's as they waded through waste high water in a fetid swamp.

They didn't last long but that wasn't the point. They were there to keep the PC's on their toes and to ratchet up the tension before they encountered a Swamp Troll!

An Eldritch Horror for D&D

 

What the @#&*??? I was summoning a Nymph!

This thing I got off eBay for cheap some time ago. I have it in mind to be the final Boss in a fight with my PC's when I take them through the last cave at the Caves of Chaos for an upcoming Keep on the Borderlands campaign.

I purchased two. One to paint up as a statue and this is the other one. The idea being that the evil Clerics summon an Eldritch Horror as the PC's finally fight their way into the main chamber of the uppermost cave. The statue breaks apart to reveal this thing. It will be the source of all the corruption around the Caves of Chaos having fallen to earth millennia ago and slowly polluting the local area with its corruption.

Just can't tell which side is the front of this thing...

Massive Darkness' Cun-Ha

Massive Darkness' villain Cun-Ha

Here's the next lieutenant for the bad guy's who will be facing off against the player characters in my upcoming D&D mini-campaign. Meet Cun-Ha from Massive Darkness. He will be leading a bunch of mummified soldiers against those pesky tomb robbing PC's!

Water Elementalist for D&D, a Wizkids Elf Mage

This Wizkids Elven Mage has been painted to represent one of the player's characters who is a Water Elementalist.

The water spiral comes clear and was easily coloured by using blue ink. It was a pain the get the miniature out of between the spell spiral in order to do the painting, but now that its done, I'm glad I did remove it for painting. It would have been a real pain to otherwise.

Mummies

 These lads are from Reaper Miniatures Bones line and are their cheap plastic models.

I painted them is the quickest possible manner: base coat in White Spray, ink in Agrax Earthshade. Simple! I tossed up the idea of painting their eyes, however they just seemed good enough as is for our D&D game, so I have left them alone. I have more of these in metal and will give the contrast paints go next time to compare the two. Once I get that done, I'll post about it as a way of comparison.

On to the next paint job.

Raston Warrior Robots

These come from Black Tree Design Miniatures.

Simple and sweet. Just a heavy dry brush of Gun Metal over a Chaos Black base. The heads are done with Silver. Easy! I did bend the arm of one of them to differentiate between the miniatures so that it looks like its pointing its hand weapon.

Letting Zygons be Zygons

 So lets discuss Zygons, shall we?

The dudes (? you can never tell with Zygons!) on the left are from Black Tree Design Miniatures, the ones of the right are from Warlord Games, Exterminate line of miniatures.

Perusing the interwebs for a decent colour image of the Zygons shattered my illusions from childhood (Terror of the Zygons! Soooo goood!) that they were orange in colour.

Seems they are more of a Rakath Flesh tone with more red highlights than orange. So I base coated these in Chaos Black. Wet brushed them Rakath Flesh. Inked them in Reikland Flesh Shade, and then finally gave them a drybrush of red (can't remember what type of red sorry).

These lads are a little too sunburnt though...

I expected the Warlord Games miniature to be larger than the Black Tree miniature, but this was not the case. So I ended up basing the Warlord miniature on a standard 25mm round base to bring them to the same height as the Black Tree miniatures.

Beach bums!

Still think they should be orange!
