New Dunkeldorf Kickstarter

by

New Dunkeldorf Kickstarter incoming early November!

Max the Florist selling his wares in the Streets of Dunkeldorf

Just a quick update on the new upcoming Kickstarter: The Streets of Dunkeldorf! This will be a smaller kickstarter involving different characters you meet in the streets! First one I painted was Max the Florist and all his fancy flowers! They are actually just from the 2 original flower sets we sell, but I heavily converted them by cutting off the tops of the flower vases and gluing them unto various terrain elements. The flower tufts and laserplants are from Gamer’s Grass!
You can find the flowers, barrels and furniture here:

The Street Lantern will be part of a set of different lamps and sign posts available in the kickstarter!

I’ve almost painted the first 8 miniatures and hope to have them all ready in time for release!

Vermintide Stormvermin and Plague Monks

by

As a big fan of the Vermintide franchise I thought that I would find and paint some of the awesome Warhammer Skaven models from Games Workshop that appear in the video games!

Storm Vermin in the streets of Ubersreik

First off we have 7 storm vermin (more than enough for our own Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign) and 3 Clanrats. I painted them with a mix of citadel paints and Reaper miniatures paint. Background is Tabletop World buildings (the walls and a little shed from the bridge terrain) along with some Dunkeldorf cobblestone bases and accessories.

Vicious crazed plague monks!

Next off we have the fearsome Plague Vermin which are always quite a challenge in the game! I really love the one with the “fly eyes” as Nurgle has blessed these rats with plenty of buboes and mutations!

At the moment I’m working on a skaven gunner, globadier, warpfire thrower and a great big Stormfiend! But with my speed it will take a while to finish them all :D

Dunkeldorf Kickstarter Coming to an End

Only a few days left for our Dunkeldorf Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kinggames/the-kingpin-of-dunkeldorf
Afterwards there will be late pledges and pledge manager, so there’s still time to join the fun :)

Here’s a couple of pictures of the miniatures I painted before and during the kickstarter!

Traud the old Bloodhound tracking foul mutants out of Gruselwald!

The Kingpin (Sven) and his gang aren’t the only ones invading this kickstarter! We also have the Witch Hunters who is looking for certain mutants in the sewers!

Johannes Koch, the Witch Hunter with Traud. I know he will fit perfectly with our WFRP campaign!

Thank you to all the backers who have backed our 3rd kickstarter!

Our 3rd Dunkeldorf Kickstarter

by

New Kickstarter

So it’s been a while… Well, actually it has been 2 years since my last post!
Lots have happened since then and I’ve ended up neglecting my blog a little. I’m mostly on Instagram now, where there are loads of pictures!
Check it out: https://www.instagram.com/cabanaminis/

And as some of you might know, we are running our 3rd kickstarter right now! You can check it out here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kinggames/the-kingpin-of-dunkeldorf

The focus on this kickstarter is our favourite RPG villain from our own WFRP campaigns, Sven the Brewer!

The campaign focuses on the brewer Sven and his gang of thugs, the group of Mutants hiding in the sewers of Dunkeldorf and the Witch Hunters and their Hired Swords who are en route to Dunkeldorf to rid the town of the mutant scourge.

The dwarf siblings: Marik and Barik ready to kick some hinds!
Agnes about to teach Old Tully a lesson not to beg for Sven’s Bitter!
A couple of shots of the thugs from this campaign!

In order to try and be a bit more active, I’ll put up more pictures than words, since I have so much to show you. Imagine how many things I’ve painted the past 2 years!!
I don’t think I even managed to show anything from our 2nd Kickstarter, which will need a post of its own! But here is a little tavern mood picture that we use in our own RPG campaigns (Both D&D and Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay)

The Prancing Peacock Tavern. Filled with sitting and standing townsfolk NPC’s!
Bertha and Bull from our 1st Kickstarter and Sabine (and Franz if you look carefully) from our 2nd Kickstarter!

Okay, that was it for now! Go check out the kickstarter if you want! And if you read this after it is over, Pledge Manager for late pledges is right around the corner :)

Dungeons and Dragons – Curse of Strahd

by

We have been playing Dungeons and Dragons (or D&D) for a while now, and I thought that I would show some of the minis that I painted just for this!

One of these projects is the Vistani Wagon/Vardo which is an MDF wooden DIY kit from Sarissa Precision Terrain. Quite easy to assemble although some parts were bent and the customer service was a little wobbly. This was a few years back, though :)

Along with the wagon I painted Ezmerelda D’Avenir and Rudolph van Richten. I haven’t met these guys in the campaign, but I know they are coming at some point.
The minis are from an old limited collector’s edition box from Galeforce 9. I used the box art for colour reference, since I don’t have artwork to work from!

The Kickstarter pledge manager with late pledges / pre-orders will be closing soon, so if you want some kickass Dunkeldorf Miniatures before they hit the store, check it out here:

Painted Dunkeldorf Miniatures

by

Finally I can show some more of the of the Dunkeldorf citizens I have painted the last few months for our Kickstarter. We will soon receive the last resin masters from the Kickstarter, which is still open for pre-orders/late pledges by the way!
Link here: https://dunkeldorf.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Great timing actually, because as of this moment, I only have Wilhelm von Struttendorf left on the work table. And within a week or so I will receive another 5 minis, including a certain popular Ogre! Along with loads of accessories! Can’t wait!! :-D

Erika, the Blacksmith, dreaming of her former life as a Zweihander for the Imperial army.

Erika Schmidt, former Zweihander in the Imperial army, now local blacksmith after her leg injury.
Although, somewhat disabled, she still dreams of her former glory and perhaps a future as an adventurer? :)
I managed to paint some of her tattoos aswell as her grizzled scar!

Littleton Proudcock on his trusy stool!

Littleton Proudcock, the Tavern Keeper comes in 2 pieces, him and his trusty stool! So he can either stand on his stool or on the ground aswell! I painted an elaborate version of his stool with pretty flowers :)

Ludmilla von Struttendorf, owner of the the local coaching service, The Winged Serpent

Ludmilla von Struttendorf in all her green splendor! Her family owns the prestigous “The Winged Serpent Express” and her family sigil is the serpent. So I thought it would be fitting to paint her using green colours. I used reaper paints for the miniature, including Viper green (fitting name) and the Olive skin triad for her dress. The skin is a mix of Tanned skin, Fair skin and Burgundy Wine. She would look very cool in a black dress with writings on the headpiece cloth and with bright red lips and gems too! Maybe next time!

Here are the artwork the characters are made from:


More Pictures of the Merchant House

by

The last pictures, this time around, of the massive Merchant House from Tabletop-World.

The attic is filled with goods and delicious treats!

The attic was very fun to do, and all the warepiles really add to the atmosphere of the house! My favourite part of painting the warepiles, was painting the fruit and lettuce in particular! It took ages though, but hopefully we will have use of these for other things in our RPG sessions.
The warepiles are from Tabletop World, Tabletop-Art, Fenryll and Ristul’s creations – now sold and cast by Annie from Bad Squiddo!

The office of the rich merchant.

This is the office of the rich merchant! I used some of my favourite furniture I painted recently, including the cozy chair from the Mantic Terrain Crate – Wizard Study, the desk and large cupboard from Zealot Miniatures, chest from HQ-resin, and two small cupboards from Tabletop-World. The one with the shield is an old one and came exclusively from their old discontinued Blacksmith. The candelabra is from Thomarillion, and I really like this one, because it can stand reasonably well on its own!

I have so many exciting things to show, and hopefully I will have more time soon to show off more of my recent projects! Including my Dungeons and Dragons miniature (I am making a monster menagerie!!)

I have a ton of pictures on my Instagram profile! So check it out and follow my page for more goodies! :)

More Pictures of the Merchant House

by

I thought it would be fun to create a children’s room in the Merchant House, so I found a bunch of bits I have had lying around since beginning of time (or the hobby, hehe) This is the 3rd floor of the house

I used a few helmets from the old Bretonnia Knights including a dragon’s head and a unicorn, which I HAD to paint as a rainbow unicorn!

The merchant’s daughter walking around in her own room at her father’s shop.

The companies used were Malifaux (old metal orphanage basing kit, which is AWESOME!) Retro Kids room accessories from HQresin, Fenryll, Tabletop-world, Games Workshop, Zealot Miniatures and Thomarillion.

Top view of the spoiled daughter’s room

I painted all the toys a little bit creepy aswell, since I need them for Blinsky’s Toy shop from our Curse of Strahd campaign (Dungeons and dragons) I also painted Blinsky with his pet monkey Piccolo :)

The room next to the daughter’s room is a storage room with another balcony to watch over the city!

Storage room leading up to the attic filled with wares and vegetables

Next up is pictures of the attic and the office on the 2nd floor!

Tabletop World: Merchant’s House

by

Update: Pledge Manager is LIVE and if you missed the Dunkeldorf Kickstarter, Late Pledges/Pre-orders are up now until mid June!

LINK: https://dunkeldorf.backerkit.com

After a long time working on the Dunkeldorf Kickstarter, which was a huge success and far better than we anticipated, I have had some time to work on my big Merchant House which I used to enter Tabletop World’s annual painting competition.

I entered last year with the “Alluring Sisters (Witchcraft Coven)” which, to my big surprise, won first place in the single building category!

And I’m very proud to announce that once again, my entry into the competition, The Merchant Family, won 1st place again!
I was stunned when I received the news and very, very happy, as this project is the biggest I have done so far!

Front of the building, with the merchant watching over his customers from his balcony!
Top view of the large building! All the window shutters and doors are fully functional!

This by far the biggest building I have ever worked on!
All the exterior and all the interior of the 4 floor buildings!
And I was lucky to receive a helping hand from my husband, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to make it in time!
Everything, except the Dunkeldorf Miniatures and some of the office furniture was painted specifically for this project!
I felt that the warepiles I had in my collection didn’t match the standard I wanted for this house, so I ended up painting a lot of warepiles. I actually ended up painting more than was needed for this project. Let’s just say I won’t be making anymore warepiles for quite a while!!

Top view of the bottom floor, showing a grocery shop filled with goods, food and supplies!
Closer view of the shop, showing the detailed interior!
Looking inside the shop with delicious fresh vegetables !

I have another bunch of pictures from the Merchant House, I will be showing off in another update, so stay tuned! :-D

Dunkeldorf Kickstarter almost 1000% funded!

The First 5 Painted Miniatures: Erika, Günther, Herman, Bertha and Old Tully

Our Dunkeldorf Kickstarter Campaign is coming along really well. Much better than we anticipated! We are running through the stretch goals and is close to unlocking the 18th stretch goal, Reiner’s Pug, an homage to our own pug Brunnhilde (or Hilde for short). We already had a cat stretch goal, Bull (Bertha’s cat), so we had to have a pug aswell.

Link to Kickstarter:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kinggames/dunkeldorf-28mm-fantasy-rpg-townsfolk-miniatures

Mustafa, the artist on our team, was given some reference pictures of Brunnhilde and drew her to fit into Dunkeldorf as Reiner Krukenberg’s spoiled pet!
We wanted her in her favourite “just chillin'” position with a couple of nipples popping out to show that she’s a girl :-P

Hilde posing with her favourite ball and Hilde relaxing on our terrace

I also found some time to do the interior of a building, and a few furniture + accessories for a mood picture of Herman in his manor. We don’t have his feast ready to paint yet, but I found a bunch of other fancy things to decorate his manor (or office)
You can see the rooftop of a building in the background through the window (we held the room up and had buildings in the background).
I think the effect worked and I’m already working on a whole lot of different “props” for more mood pictures.

Herman plotting in his manor overlooking Dunkeldorf

The room is part of a Tabletop World building and so is the roof in the background. The pedestal and candelabra is from Thomarillion, the desk and cupboard are from Zealot miniatures, the chair is from Mantic, the small cupboard with fruit is a Tabletop World accessory and finally, the striped chest is from HQ-resin.
