While we wait for WFRP 4th Edition Starter Set.

by

We decided to wait with Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th edition until the Starter Set is released (about 6 months+ delayed so far), so until then we are trying out 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. We played D&D 4th edition 5 years ago for 1½ years or so, before we went back to WFRP and our homebrewed ruleset!

So until we get the starter set and the next campaign book, which is probably another version of Enemy Within by Graeme Davis, we will settle for D&D! Which means a lot of new miniatures both monsters and humanoid races and creatures.

Our current campaign is Curse of Strahd, which has pretty good reviews and we are really enjoying it so far!

The Heros:

We needed some new heroes for the campaign and as a sharp contrast to WFRP which is pretty low fantasy, we decided to go for some high fantasy heroes. We love them so far!

We went with a good classic setup: A rogue, a wizard and a Ranger (melee version)

From left to right: Varg – Half-Orc Ranger, Rook – Tiefling and Magnus – Wizard of the Conjuring school with his familiar – the owl Percy

I had a blast painting these, and finding miniatures proved to be a real challenge!
Varg, our Half-Orc miniature, is actually Valeros, a human fighter from Pathfinder. painted green with tusks!
Rook, our Tiefling, is the “Female Demonkin Warrior” from Dark Sword miniatures which we modified with daggers and a different pose.
Magnus, our human wizard, is the Luwin Phost, dungeon dweller from Reaper Miniatures. His owl familiar – Percy is from the Owl Basing Kit from HQresin.

My hero is Magnus! I always find it fun and challenging to play a much different character than the real me! And a 60 year old man with magical powers is quite the opposite of me :-D

Another commission finished!

by

I just finished this commission for a friend of mine! Lots of characterful miniatures and some great zombie conversions! There are so many exciting miniatures in this commission that I had to split it in two. So this is just the first half! Still working on some ghosts and monsters.

I got to try a few new paint combinations including the blonde hair of some of the ladies. I ended up liking the hair of the Bretonnian Sorceress the most, where I used Golden Skin Shadow, thinned down Light Tone Shade, Golden skin and Blonde Highlight.

Here is a group picture with all the miniatures included!

Damiel from Pathfinder RPG

by

About time I showed you another one of my heroes from our Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. This is Damiel the Elf Alchemist. A very entertaining class to play and finally you can use potions without having to banish them afterwards.

Damiel the Alchemist

Damiel is a really cool mini sculpted by Bobby Jackson. His hair looks a lot better “in person”.

The dagger thingie is a bit fragile, though it hasn’t broken off or anything. Here is a few more pictures of the elf:

Painting the potions was a lot of fun. I usually don’t paint flasks and potions in bright reds and oranges, but I tried to make him resemble the artwork as best I could (as with my other Pathfinder miniatures)

Here is the original artwork I based the miniature on:
Damiel the Alchemist

 

Lem From Pathfinder RPG

by

Still have a few more Pathfinder characters up my sleeve! This one is Lem, Iconic Halfling Bard!

The cool thing about these minis is that, not only do I use them for the Adventure Card Game, but they fit right into my RPG’s aswell. He’s a really cool halfling miniature and Derek Schubert did a great job sculpting this beaut’ :)

Lem Iconic Halfling Bard

I picked this guy for our Skull & Shackles Campaign and it was great fun having both Divine and Arcane skill!

Here he is from a few more angles:

I tried to paint him as close as I could to the official artwork of Lem. He is really small. Around the same size as Lini. So painting details is harder than it looks!

Here is the official artwork of Lem, the famous bard with mad flute skills!

Merisiel From Pathfinder RPG

by

Time for the next hero in line! This one is Merisiel – the badass Elven Rogue from Pathfinder RPG and Pathfinder Adventure Card Game – which I have played a lot throughout the summer, most recently this last weekend where we finished yet another campaign of Skull & Shackles!

Merisiel 1

I fought very hard completing all the miniatures we used in the first instalment of the card game and we were almost finished by the time I completed this mini. She now stands side-by-side with the numerous other Pathfinder Characters I have painted :)

Painted her with ashen hair which is always hard! And very pale skin to resemble her artwork.

Merisiel 4

The miniature was sculpted by Chris Fitzpatrick and is one of two versions, the other being the other more dynamic posed Merisiel sculpted by Patrick Keith.

Valeros From Pathfinder RPG

by

As I have been playing the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game quite a lot over the summer, I thought it was time to present the next hero in line: Valeros!

Valeros 1

I spent a great deal of time on painting the details of his face than the rest of the miniature, so the armor didn’t end up as great as the rest. The official artwork picture depicted the armor very brownish, and I thought I’d paint it a bit toned down and not use any metallic paint on the armor. He looks really nice “in person” :-)

I took a few more pictures from different angles!

I have been reading some of the comics aswell and they are great! I thought the official artwork didn’t exactly depict him the same way that the comics and artworks from the rulebook (I’ve played the RPG aswell) So I’m going to show both :-)

Valeros

Valeros 2

I still have a lot of painted Pathfinder miniatures waiting in line, just need time to snap pictures and make posts! Luxury problem for sure :-)

There are 2 versions available from Reaper miniatures, this version and another more dynamic Valeros based on the Rulebook cover.

Lini from Pathfinder RPG

by

About a month ago I wrote a post about the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game heroes. I now present Lini who is a major overpowered hero in the Skull and Shackles expansion. To my defense, I didn’t know that until certain points in the campaign :-P

She is a teeny tiny gnome, so painting details was a bit hard! I did try out some freehand on her armor and think it ended up okay :)

Here are a few artwork pictures of little Lini:

Seoni from Pathfinder RPG!

by

My first of many Pathfinder Miniatures!

As mentioned in an earlier post, I am currently playing Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. Most recently Rise of the Runelords and Skull & Shackles, of which I am a big fan!

Anyway! The game is about moving to different locations using a card with artwork of your character, but I thought it would be a lot smarter to use miniatures instead! Only downside is that it takes a LOT of time painting these minis. By the time I painted all the miniatures for Rise of the Runelords, we had already moved on to Skull & Shackles.

I am pleased to introduce Seoni the Sorceress:

Seoni, Iconic Sorceress

She was a real challenge to paint (so much lining and blonde hair!) but I ended up having a blast painting this one! I skipped her tattoos as I was afraid it would end up ruining the mini due to the tiny freehand involved. She looks incredible when holding the miniature in front of me!

Here is a few more pictures of the mini and also the artwork from which the miniature was sculpted. A smashing sculpting job by Chris Fitzpatrick.

The miniature is the metal Seoni Original Version from Reaper Miniatures Pathfinder range.
The base is painted and decorated by my husband :-D

Next in line is Valeros – Fighter, Merisiel – Rogue, Kyra – Cleric, Lini – Druid, Damiel – Alchemist, Amiri – Barbarian and Harsk – Ranger.
All painted, just missing pictures and posts :)

Gold Wizard of the Lore of Metal

by

Recently painted this cool Pathfinder Miniature Kyra, Female Iconic Cleric. Instead of her Original colours I chose to paint her as a Wizard of the Gold College. Since we desperately lack female wizards in our WFRP campaign (mainly due to using Games Workshop miniatures which mainly consists of male miniatures, other than Elves)

Gold Wizard

The miniature is perfect as a Gold Wizard with loads of gems and golden features! I even added some gold coins to the base.

I am currently spending far too much time playing Pathfinder Card Game (Rise of the Runelords and Skull & Shackles) and as a result I wanted to paint our heroes as stand-ins for the usual character card. Unfortunately one of them was Kyra, so I had to paint her again only with her original colours!
They are turning out pretty cool, so I will post pictures of the heroes soon :-D
