Beasts! Wargs (Reaper 77202) and wolves (Ral Partha CS-90)

Written by admin on March 17, 2021. Posted in Fantasy.

Wargs and goblins sometimes get together to make trouble. Not only in the Lord of the Rings, wargs are used as goblin mounts – this fantasy trope is also used in Dungeons and Dragons. So naturally, if a goblin raiding party comes to pillage a village, they bring some wargs! I had one warg from the Reaper Bones Kickstarers, and bought a couple more for an exciting D&D encounter in Nightstone. I also had some old Ral Partha wolf miniatures that I also painted in parallel.

Pathfinder Goblin Warriors (89003) and Warchanter (89004)

Written by admin on March 16, 2021. Posted in Fantasy.

It’s the start of my Storm King’s Thunder D&D campaign, and the village of Nightstone is overrun by goblins and wargs. That’s a welcome reason to paint up some Pathfinder goblins from the second Reaper Bones Kickstarter! The Kickstarter included the Pathfinder Goblin Warriors, a warchanter chief, and a group of four Pyros. Let’s start with the Warriors!

Displayer Beast (Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures Wave 1)

Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures: Displacer Beast

Written by admin on March 15, 2021. Posted in Fantasy.

The first mission of the new Storm King’s Thunder campaign brought my players into an old ruin, searching for a hidden treasure after the events with Tiamat from the previous campaign. Little did they know, that there was something stalking them: a displacer beast! This was my next mini from Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures, as they do have the official license to produce displacer beasts.

Player Character: Quarion Silverhand

The last of the player characters in my Storm King’s Thunder campaign is Quarion, a moon elf master archer. Quarion is a divine trickster rogue (the divine version of the arcane trickster). For his miniature, I needed an elf with a cool bow. Luckily, from the second Reaper Bones Kickstarter I had the elf Arathanel of the Dragons don’t share set. This guy holds a huge bow in a dynamic pose – a perfect match!

Player Character: Gwendolyn Stonewarden

Written by admin on March 13, 2021. Posted in Fantasy.

The dwarven sorceress Gwendolyn gets her magic from the stone and earth of her home, deep within the mountains. She is a dwarf not wearing any visible armor, but a hammer and a shield. It was quite a challenge to find a cool miniature for a female dwarf not wearing armor! But Hasslefree Miniatures had Svala, a young female dwarf without any discernible character role associated with the miniature. It was a perfect fit for Gwen!

Player Character: Meria

The halfling monk of the party was a bit of a challenge, as I did not find any cool female halfling monk miniatures on the internet. There were some really nice male miniatures, and female monks too. But I did not find any appealing female halfling monk back in 2017. WizKids had just released their new Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures line, and I decided to modify the figure of a female halfling rogue into the miniature for Meria the monk.

Player Character: Janikarumshed Hopsward

The rock gnome cleric/wizard Janik is the next player character in need of a miniature. He’s more of a wizard than a cleric, really, and he is in pursuit of knowledge. There were not many gnome miniatures that really caught my eye, but Reaper Miniatures’ “Halfling Wizard” was a good fit. We just needed to get rid of the rabbit familar and make the halfling put on some shoes.

Player Character: Otiros Firebird

Otiros is a phoenix sorcerer, a subclass dedicated to the legendary phoenix, and it focuses on fire damage all the way. There are lots of cool miniatures of robe wearing wizardry types. Otiros’ player liked Reaper Miniatures’ Halmar best – it’s a robed male, playing with an open flame. So Halmar became Otiros Firebird!

Player Character: Baltor

Written by admin on March 9, 2021. Posted in Fantasy. 2 Comments on Player Character: Baltor

Baltor, the barbarian/ranger in the group, has a background in an assassins’ guild. He wields two swords and tries to blend in with his clothing, and he always has his trusty wolf companion at his side. There are many miniatures of roguish characters wielding two swords on the market. Baltor’s player found the “Male Dual Wield Rogue” from Darksword Miniatures and was in love with the model.

D&D: Storm King’s Thunder

Right after finishing our 2.5 year-long campaign Tyranny of Dragons, my group started the next big D&D 5th edition campaign: Storm King’s Thunder! Also based on a published adventure module, it heavily features all types of Giants of the D&D lore and an epic story from levels 1 to 11.
