Keeping Myself Busy 7

Here are this week's offers.


Three more fighter-types for Sellswords/Frostgrave, these are old Essex miniatures.

 A minotaur, this is a Russian 1/32 54mm plastic toy, which cost me just a couple of quid.

 Look out guys, he's a big 'un!

 Three trapped treasure chests, these are 3d printed models I picked up on Ebay.

 A Westwind vampire from the Vampire Wars range.

 Another civilian kid for my Western Gunfight games.

 A pair of banshees, these are Reaper Bones minis.

 A D&D style beholder.

 A giant worm, this one will be an Ice Worm for my Jotunheim campaign.

 A rock monster/golem/elemental. The last three creatures are all 3d prints. I picked up a load of these, including the skull pillars, spiders and egg clutches I posted previously, in a job lot on Ebay for about a pound each. An absolute bargain, some of the sculpts are a little crude, but they are all usable and have been great for filling out my monsters collection for Sellswords and Spellslingers.

And finally a large mouthed, tusked beastie. This is a Dunger from Ranshackle Games. It's a bit odd looking, but I really like it. I'll probably use it for some cave or forest dwelling beastie at some point.

Terrain Tile Clearout

I have two sets of 6 x 2 feet square terrain tiles for disposal, free to a good home. These are used and have the odd chip and dent, but are basically in good condition.

The catch is that they will need to be collected from Aylesbury, Bucks. I'm happy to hang on to them for a while during the current crisis, they've been in the loft for quite a while so a few weeks longer won't count.

Lava Set
6 converted TSS tiles, 5 with lava "river" and one with a volcano!








Desert/Sci-fi set.
6 homemade tiles, 3 flat tiles and 3 with a wadi system. Theses are textured and painted, so they are a bit heavier than the TSS tiles.

Keeping Myself Busy 6

Once again I did not feel as if I had got very much painting in this week, but when I reviewed the pictures I was pleasantly surprised.

A couple of Reaper Bones wraiths, you can never have enough undead.

 10mm dismounted Union cavalry and horseholders, these are old Chariot Miniatures figures.

 The last 3 Svaltalfar, old Heartbreaker orcs and goblins by Phil Lewis.

 The one that everyone forgets from any dungeoning/adventuring party, the servant or "packhorse".
"How far to the next tavern?"

 A couple of small boys, civilian targets bystanders for western gunfights.

 A Westwind Vampire in Bat  Form, just what it says on the tin, or else any other winged demonic type thingy.

 A couple of fighter types for Sellswords or Frostgrave. I couldn't decide whether to base this pair for outside games, or urban/interior games. I went for urban grey stone in the end, on the basis that if I change my mind it will be easier to add earth/grass/tufts, rather than try and remove them.

 The last of my 3d printed spiders.

 A Westwind Vampire, all ready to stalk the streets of Venice.

  A couple of Alfar for my Jotunheim project, these are old Heatbreaker elves sculpted by Phil Lewis.

 Some more Heartbreaker Dark Dwarves as Dokkalfar.

 Thre more normal sized Svartalfar, old Heartbreaker goblins.

 The final member of my Victorian graverobber set.

 Four Eureka Italian Renaissance raffines with cudgels, these will be thugs and thieves for my  new Venetian based Frostgrave warband.

 The other two witches from the 3d printedc set I picked up on Ebay - well witches have to come in 3's don't they?

And the full set reunited, Maid, Mother and Crone.

Scenario Book for Sellswords and Spellslingers Update 1

Just a quick update on how this project is progressing.

The book is going to be a narrative mini-campaign of 5 linked scenarios, designed to be played at either Basic or Expert levels. Each scenario will have two sets of foes and challenges, depending on the level of the party, although the basic victory conditions will be the same.

There will be some familiar foes and some new ones.

The basic level scenarios are drafted and out for play testing and I am working on the expert level upgrades.

Here's a few taster pictures from one of the play test games.

 Goblin archers! I'll see your short bows and raise you a FIREBALL!

 Goblins! They're all mine!

 Oi! What about fair shares?
Go away, there's only three of 'em, not enough to go around!

 Now he's a big 'un!

Where's a fireball when you need one?

Keeping Myself Busy 4

Here's the painting achievements for this week:
The last two members of my Papal Vampire Hunters, one is the 4th mini from the Westwind Vatican Hit Squad blister and the nun is a Reaper Bones figure (the sixshooter is probably loaded with silver bullets!)

A 3D printed prisoner cart - the cage is removable for multi-use.

A Frostgrave snow leopard. 

4 viking shield maidens for my Nordic mythic project.

A couple of warriors that may end up in the icy wastes (or not as the case may be).


Another Victorian grave robber.

At long last - my 10mm Tuareg cavalry are finally finished.

A big 3D printed spider and egg clutch.

A smaller spider and eggs with a 28mm mini for size comparison.

The spider with it's bigger (much bigger) brother.
