Another batch of figurines for D&D, this time a party of 9 adventurers that may also be used as NPCs. First, there are 2 barbarians and a ranger (elf of course!). To help me when I DM a game, I painted the minis with a color code in mind: brown for barbarians, dark green for rangers, blue for clerics, yellow for wizards, orange for sorcerers, etc. It looks like my obsession with organizing and coding WW2 units has contaminated my D&D endeavors... These figurines are from the same lot given to me by JeremyM and are vinyl versions of Reaper miniatures.
In this next group of heroes, I tried different skin tones, to add some variety. The fat cleric is definitely my favorite. He reminds me of Brother Tuck from Robin Hood and he carries a barrel of booze for emergencies... The potion cleric will certainly come in handy. The winged lady is not a pixie but a druid with wings (I know...).
In the picture below, the face of the young wizard woman did not came out good on this picture. Actually, I tried to go back to an old style of painting with these figurines (instead of black, to prime the figurines in white or very pale colors), thinking that it would make the colors more vibrant. In did make the colors more catchy, but to create more depth, I relied heavily on washes, which makes the figurines look dirty sometimes. Oh well, I have a lot more figurines to practice with.
Points claimed:
9 x 28mm foot figurines at 5 points each = 45 points

Thanks for reading!

Some fine work here once more Sylvain. A barrel of booze for emergencies is something we should all keep on hand, so it's good to see you painting figures that will not only entertain, but set a good public health example for all AHPC stakeholders.
I sympathize with your desire to codify and organize, and fear not, in no way does it, or will it, take away from the enjoyment of these classic character types. I think the spell effect in particular is really well done!
Another 45 points for you!

Wonderful work on these role playing stalwarts Sylvain. I especially like the female magic user with the gold/yellow cloak. I can tell from your output that you're fully enjoying your recent retirement - bravo! :)
ReplyDeleteThey came out very well. Those Bones figures can be a pain to work with, but yours look great.
ReplyDeleteYou need order in your life, but insist on creating the maximum amount of disorder for your gaming partners….
I've painted some of those same miniatures. I find the Bones to be pretty sketchy but you really did them proud. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteSome fine painting here! I like the wings on your pixie and the spell on the wizard. And the scroll the other wizard is holding! Well done, Sylvain!
ReplyDeleteA great looking adventure group. In our group tradition requires rangers to be half elves.
ReplyDeleteNice work - did you use speed paints on parts or just washes?
