Carpathian Fun and Games

Or maybe not. I've had some of these Bad Squiddo figures for ages. Scroll down to see them all.

 

These are a mixture of figures from the Bad Squiddo Fantasy range, but I decided that the six of them would make a rather nice fantasy Carpathian Vampire Hunting group. As we all know, young women make the very best vampire slayers, don't they? As you can see in the first two pictures, two of our valiant slayers are brandishing their personal Mr Pointy weapons and I'm sure the slayer with a crossbow is reaching for a long range Mr Pointy of her own.

I decided to give the group a colour palette that would tie them together and nothing much goes better than red and green.

Below is another Bad Squiddo figure that I've taken to calling Dave Dead while I've been painting him. I hope he's Grateful. OK, he is literally Death Incarnate, but whatever you do, don't ask him where his Sting is.

I'm rather pleased with all of these. Next, I'll finish off some vamps and victims.

A Bad Squiddo Sci Fi figure .......

 .... but I think she has a very Grimdark Imperial Guard officer vibe.

Definitely looks like she could be leading the charge against Chaos Heretics, marauding Orks from Outer Space or some other enemy of the fascistic Empire of Man. What do you think?

I can see that I made a mess of one of her eyes now, so some remedial brush work will be required. So it goes. She's a nice figure, though.

The last of my Bad Squiddo D&D figures

Only two, this time;

These two are pretty heavily-armoured, so I've decided that they might as well be Paladins. Of course, they could be fighters, but very well-equipped ones, so hardly likely to be Level 1.

I decided to keep the colours simple, but I do like the green/red contrast theme for lots of things. I'm not sure how one might play the bird of prey in D&D, but I'm sure it could be done. 

Once again, I used a Jon Hodgson backdrop.

I'm working on some more Fantasy figures at the moment, making progress but not very quickly. They'll get done before long, though.

If it's November, it must be Reveille

Yes, it's that time of year again!

 The flyer says it all, but here are the main points;

• A variety of traders
• Participation games
• Demonstration games
• Free parking
• Refreshments

So, if you are in or near Bristol, come on down and bag some new toys!

Guards! Guards!

 Here are four more D&D figures from Bad Squiddo. Scroll down to see them all.

You could use these as fighters or NPCs. I think they work well as a pair of guards who might pop up somewhere in an adventure, which is why I used the same colour palette for both figures. Are they friends or foes? Perhaps you'll need to roll against your Persuasion to find out.

The next two are both much more heavily-armoured and look like the sort of guards who might cause a few problems for your explorers in a dungeon or maybe some other setting, like a forgotten temple in the wild hills perhaps;

I particularly like the figure on the left with the glaive. Her ornate armour is full of nice details. Both of them have a terrific vibe of coming from mysterious or unknown cultures.

Of course, they will fit into all sorts of Fantasy settings, not just D&D.

The Arcane Monoliths are from Fenris Games, an excellent source for lovely resin scenic items and the barely-visible backdrop is from Jon Hodgson at Handiwork Games.

I've got a couple more figures to post, but that's all for today.

A few more Dungeons and Dragons characters

These are all from Bad Squiddo, four figures in total (scroll down to see them all);

Above, from left to right are a Barbarian, a Warlock and a Fighter and below is another Fighter.

The eagle-eyed  might notice that the first Fighter has an artificial leg as well as missing an eye. She's obviously been in a lot of tough fights.

I like all of these figures but my favourite is the female Warlock, holding a skull marked VII, which must mean something. Who knows, perhaps she has a selection of different skulls for each day of the month?

Once again, I've used two of my Jon Hodgson backdrops, available from Bad Squiddo and Handiwork Games.

I've got more figures to post. Stay tuned!

 

Some Dungeons and Dragons characters

 These are all 28mm figures from Bad Squiddo.

These three are pretty self-explanatory; a Ranger, a Rogue and a Cleric. Ideal characters for a group of intrepid dungeoneers and explorers of the trackless wastes and forests.

The backdrop is a Jon Hodgson one, as usual.

I'm rather pleased with how they have come out. As one always finds with Bad Squiddo figures, the sculpts have lots of drama and detail about them and the casting is incredibly crisp and clean, making them a joy to paint.

I've got several more Fantasy figures to post, but I'll be doing them over a number of posts.
