Do These Look Familiar ?

In Rangers of Shadow Deep: Temple of Madness there's rules for a more spell casting oriented ranger.

I really liked the idea but I kept thinking these characters should be able to take familiars instead of animal companions so I painted up these guys.

Now all I have to do is think up some stats for them.

They are all from Ral Partha's Demonworld line.

I also finished two more traditionnal looking rangers a cleric and an executionner, I don't know what I'm going to use him for yet, I just think he looks cool.

Besides painting I also managed to do some sculpting.

This one was a bit of an experiment. Its made completely out of plumbers putty. why?

Well, I have a tendancy to spend way to long trying to get some of the details just right when I'm sculpting, plumber's putty cures in 5 to 10 minutes so that forces me to work fast.

This stuff does not take detail as well as green stuff and I also didn't even know what it was going to be when I started sculpting so over all I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I imagine it as a cross between an armadillo and a shark (there's a d&d monster like that I think).

I may do a second one bursting up out of the ground , could be fun for a Ghost Archipelago scenario.

That's it for now, I hope you enjoyed it.

More Rangers of Shadow Deep With a Dash of D&D...

Its been a bit of a miscellaneous bunch of figures this week.

Two skellie archers to get them up to strength, a restless spirit, a champion of evil, a yuan-ti archer and I found the last of my survivors and gave him a quick paintjob to.

I also made some terrain: the pillars in the background

The skellies, knight and survivor are from Ral Partha and the spirit and snake woman are from Alternative Armies.

A couple of scenarios have a vulture as a kind of eye in the sky spy for the evil overlord.

I thought I'd try something a little different and sculpted this guy instead.

It's a D&D monster thats basically a giant eyeball with wings,big claws and a rat tail with a stinger that cries piosonous tears called an eyewing, 

Here he is "nekkid"

And with a little paint on him..

I've started experimenting on sculpting some crates and treasure chests and  have a group of demonworld goblins primed and ready for paint.

Also the tile these photo's were taken on is part of an old dungeon tile project which I'm looking to revive soon so, if you like what you see, stay tune for more.

Weeds, Rats and Other Vermin.

I recieved a package from Alternative Armies with a number of the monsters I'll need for Rangers of Shadowdeep.

This being one of those rare weekends where I actually had a decent amount of free time I decided to start painting them immediately.

So here's what I managed to paint over the weekend.

First up some man eating plants called Klorzids from the Grinning Skull line.

They are a bit on the whimsical side with quit a heavy "little shop of horrors" vibe but seeing as I'm looking to play RoSD with my 10 year old daughter I think that's actually a good thing.

The next is Alternative Armies own sand worm which I decided to paint purple in honor of the classic D&D creature.

and lastly an other classic dungeon crawl staple, a horde of giant rats

I've also made a list of the terrain pieces I still need to make so hopefully I'll be able to share some of that with you in the near future.

That being said...   there was more in that package from Alternative Armies....   but I ain't tellin' yet, you'll have to wait and see..😜

Cheers,

Stroezie.
