I have now completed the base and legs for this ginormous work in progress project I’m working on. I painted the torso with the same skin tone I used for the legs. I applied some Lich Skin paint as the base color and used a bit of Zombie Flesh paint to dry brush some tone difference into the skin. … More Miniature Showcase
The group of ragged refugees sat down at one of the tables in the inn and ordered some food. They were starving after their arduous trek through the snow. At another table close by sat a group of rowdy dwarves. They were already well under way in their drinking and were talking loudly about a nast set of murders that had been the talk of the town for a while. There had been a string of murders, apparently, the latest of which had occurred in the very town they were in. It had been a huge piece of news as the murdered victim had been a dwarven glass blower. … More Town Problems
For our resident Forge Cleric, Dvalin, we had a nice juicy bit of secret. His story is already fraught with peril as he was chased from his childhood home by his father’s enemies. To learn that you are an heir to something bigger is a huge development. … More Secrets
The base was completed for the second form of the Frostmaiden to sit on. This is the completed miniature. For the main body of the Frostmaiden, I used a frosty bright blue as the base coat and then dry brushed white over the blue to give it an icing over effect. I made it very simple because I really liked the crude effect it gave the miniature. … More Miniature Showcase
We just finished our rough and tumble foray into Icewind Dale and it was an awesome ride. I loved the survival intense story and environment. It has given me a whole new appreciation for those who live in frozen regions. Now that it is over however, we want to do something new. Something unique. A world all of our own building. It is no secret that I love epic stories and the first step is to build a wonderful, detailed map! … More A New World
Zephyr Raventhorn, our bard, had some of the juiciest secrets throughout the entire campaign. These are the first two he started with. I think they show that secrets don’t always have to be life and death. They can be goofy personality traits, embarrassing stories we don’t want people to hear, or even secret crushes that we don’t want revealed. … More Secrets
We just finished a fairly long and emotional campaign yesterday. I am exhausted from all the stuff that went down. I am taking today off from the blog with post to resume on Wednesday. Thank you, to all who read this blog and put up with my crazy schedule! … More Break Time
On a snowy cliff top one half of a dirigible lay in ruin while its other half was lost to the chasm beyond. Inside the ruins of the ship were those that had survived, which were only really themselves. Zephyr and the children were there. So was Dvalin and Lullaby. Even the strange man that … More Wild Woman
For last week, I gave our very first Coded Note of the campaign for our Rogue, Mythe. The wording is strange and seems like gibberish to the average reader, but we know that there is a hidden thieve’s code in this innocuous letter. It holds important information and orders to carry out. … More Coded Notes
This is another big project I worked on. I had to jump on this one because we are nearing the end of our sojourn in Icewind Dale. My husband/DM bought this miniature on Etsy to really give the Frostmaided a fearsome and intimidating look. I started off with the base. The cool part is that the base curls around the Frostmaided as a part of her. … More Miniature Showcase
