From StuartL - Dungeon Decor - 21 points

Well here we are at my second post for the challenge.

Continuing with the Chambers of Challenge, it's time to enter the Pit of the Pendulum. In the Pit, the mighty Snowlord has asked for something torturous, so that is what I have gone for. Considering the hell we put our host through every year, I guess most of us challengers deserve a quick visit to the Pit.


These pieces are all from Reaper Miniatures, specifically their Bones range. Cast in soft, bendy plastic, they hold a surprising amount of detail and are cheap as chips if you get them through one of their Kickstarters. 


These three pieces should make nice set dressing for my regular D&D games, once we get back to being able to hold them.


As terrain elements, these three pieces of torture chamber equipment have a total volume of about 3 cubic inches. This works out as being about 1.4% of an AHPC terrain cube, or roughly 0.28 points. Unless one of the Minions, or the Snowlord himself disagree, I am going to round that up to 1 full point, plus 20 for completing the Pit of the Pendulum, giving me a grand total of 21 points here.

  1. A great interpretation of the theme Stuart! To me they are like figures so I'm going to give you 12 points as a base, so 32 points total.

  2. I nearly picked up that Iron Maiden in my LGS at the weekend for the same reason.
    Smart work on this trio of torturous devices.

    1. They had been lying in my collection for a while and this seemed the best opportunity to use them.

  6. You're building yourself quite a torture chamber there. I am glad that it is in 28mm though! Nice work!

    1. Thanks. 28mm is by far my preferred scale. 1:1 scale hobby projects take too long and I don't have a large enough brush for painting them.

  7. Really nice pieces, Stuart. Do I mean "nice"? Really nasty pieces, Stuart.
    Going to be tough in the Squirrel side-challenge at 0.28 points an entry, though...
