From BruceR, Rangers for Rangers of Shadow Deep, Offering to Lady Sarah, Fifth circle Anger (50pts)

In the past I have shared my happy place, doing the feeding chores for my son while he gets away. Little early to ranch sit this year and I might return as I have pulled the plug and join the aging gamers in retirement. It’s been a long year and while I’m somewhat apprehensive it was time. So I am available to watch dogs, cows, horses and relax.  A few hours a day to keep things running and after that my time is my own. 

I do bring a travel paint kit and did finish some Roman archers, but did not bring basing material so will have to wait until I return to civilization after the new year. 

I did have primed and based two great Northstar figures for Rangers of Shadow Deep.  I’ve had the game and have not played, due to too many other interests. I saw these figures in a shop and liked the set and added to the pile.  The group I game with have enjoyed Frostgrave and The Silver Bayonet, so I imagine I’ll enjoy solo or as a co-op session  

Offering to Lady Sarah: (passage from the First circle to the Fifth circle)

This fine lass is a two bladed whirlwind. Her face was somewhat malformed and unable to fix I simply painted the clump on her cheek as hair. Seemed to work alright. 

So my two bladed she devil. 


Fifth Circle of Hell: Anger

I was really grabbed by the figure as a woodsmen taking out the trash. This brute is sullen and wrathful all in one. The head of a transgressor clearly taken as proof of some scheme the local powers will not believe without physical evidence. 

This dude can scowl.

Total 50 pts

Great work on this pair Bruce. We've played the first campaign of Rangers of Shadowdeep and thoroughly enjoyed it. That being said, I understand that each rendition of the core game 'engine' has become more fulsome and better realized, so I think you're playing the best rendition of it with Silver Bayonet. Still, I fully recommend trying out RoSD as it is terrific. Blah dee blah, let's get to the minis shall we!  

I really like that two bladed she-devil. I think it's the red trim on her cloak that really sets her up. The scowling chap (Sarah calls him Mr. Balenciaga from the first 15 min of 'Triangle of Sadness' - check it out for a laugh) is terrific and a great example of 'Wrath'. Great work on the face! 

Doggo pictures are always appreciated!

Well done sir!
