Need Adventurers, No Questions Asked

Let’s face it nobles are rich source for adventure hooks. However, they can also be duplicitous, manipulative, and just may be looking for somebody disposable. Welcome, to the life of an adventurer.

And yet, it’s another Reaper mini. I really like them. No kidding. With that be safe out there and have fun.

Behold My Glory

I realized that I didn’t have a single Beholder miniature in my entire collection. So I grabbed a first generation Reaper Bones one for dirt cheap.

Yeah, sure it didn’t come out that great. And it doesn’t matter. It’s the sort of thing that I’d rather encourage folks to paint a mini or two and not think that they have to some master painter. So share those not so perfect paint jobs.

I’ll Take What’s Behind Door Number 3, Monty

Door are something that you just need in your scatter terrain box. Listening at the door. Checking for traps. You know the drill. I a few more done from my Terrain Crate collection.

I admit that the single doors do look a little small compared to the mini. But here’s the double door with the same adventurer.

Just like the mini’s. There’s no industry standard scaling. Here’s a size comparison with Wizkids, Terrain Crate, and a 3D Print that I got from Griffinco.

And I know that I need to repaint that Wizkids one. Hey, I was experimenting.

More Scatter Terrain Bits

I got a couple more Dungeons & Lasers bits of scatter terrain painted. I do like how this evil altar turned out. I’ve got a couple but I like the looks of this one.

And there’s the good old tree of woe. Or whatever you want to call it. For some odd reason, this one just stayed glossy even after a couple coats of matte finish. I dunno. I guess it could have been the paint.

Oh well. Have fun out there and roll some dice.

You Go Ask Him For Directions

Another mini and another bit of scatter terrain. Another one those mini’s that I’m sure would make a nasty big bad and a dragon skull (from Dungeons & Lasers).

I actually like the way both these turned out. Believe it or not. The skull caused me more problems. The home-made wash just wasn’t quite doing what I wanted and the highlights weren’t standing out as much as I would have liked. It took me about three tries before I was finally satisfied.
