Blogroll Additions

I updated the blogroll with some great additions. If you're not familiar do yourself a favor and have a visit!

  • Beyond the Black Gate is a great old school D&D blog with a wide breadth of quality content.
  • Handgrenadealien has a newish blog that features old school dungeon delves and miniatures in a vein not unlike BftD.
  • Dungeons & Discourse is another multi-faceted D&D blog where miniatures play a role. Check out the great Otherworld figures. This is also where you'll hear all about the Barrowmaze megadungeon that recently went to print.
  • Phreedh is a fellow lead adventurer and obviously a consummate craftsman. His in-game shots are particularly impressive they way everything is uniformly finely crafted. Really brings the world to life.
  • Somewhere the Tea's Getting Cold belongs to another lead adventurer who lately has been sparing no expense bringing to life some of the early published Warhammer scenarios such as Orc's Drift and The Magnificent Sven in addition to a bunch of other diverse and sundry projects.
  • 手探りペイント日記7, which Google translate renders as Paint Groping Diary, drew me in with some of the finest squats I've ever seen. By total coincidence a casting of the coolest one of the bunch showed up at my place recently in a random assortment eBay buy. One day's he's going to be leading a little crew of privateers. Anyway, really looking forward to seeing more of this guy's squats and whatever else he's up to.

Enter: the Challengers, pt. II

The Challengers, painted.

I introduced you to Choderick's Challengers, the party from my Borderlands & Beyond campaign, in part I. In this post I've got the figures we're using to represent them. This post is also featuring a guest painter. The magic-user Twiss was done by his player, Tyler. This is his third figure, I believe, and I'm impressed! A couple of these you may have seen in previous posts but I want to show the whole group here so you'll excuse the re-post.

Choderick's Challengers

L-R: Aureo, Cleric of Oghma; Dynis Pofokes, Cleric of Ralishaz; Ott Gravelspit, Dwarf Fighter; Choderick Argenhelm, Paladin in the Service of Freya; Boodika, fighter; Leofwyn, Half-elf Ranger; Twiss von Standbrau, Magic User; Timotheus, Dwarf Thief.

Quick preview of recently painted monsters

Meatier posts than this one are in the works but for now I'd like to make do with a quick preview of some figs I finished earlier this year. I plan to give all these the full treatment when I can. Really happy to be able to add several encounters to the wondering monsters table!

Miniatures I finished in January, 2012

Pictured are some Grenadier lizardmen, Minifigs kobolds, Otherworld bugbears, an Otherworld minotaur, a Minifigs Iron Maiden, a Grenadier wight, and a Wizards of the Coast dragon. Yup, that's a prepaint knobrot!
