Beauty and the Beast Take 3 - models chosen Dark Sword Miniatures Female Assassin - Easley SKU: DSM4108 sculpted by Jeff Grace and Citadel Miniatures C23 Ogre Warrior Priest (1985) sculpted by Jes Goodwin. I wanted these two to be absolute, polar contrasts with this Ogre lending itself to being extremely dirty and bestial in appearance, while the Assassin is the epitome of cleanliness and perfection. Hence the dirty colours and dried blood on the Ogre and the clean, flower-patterned leggings and clothing on the Assassin. I’ve given the Ogre a ‘dirty’ rat familiar from the OOP Citadel Miniatures Rat Swarm to accompany him but also to suggest he may have magical abilities? The Ogre is mounted on a 40mm lipped round Micro Arts Troglodyte base while his counterpart is mounted on a plain 30mm lipped round base with some green stuff to hide the integral base and some Citadel Miniatures brass ferns as decoration and to link the context of the two miniatures. Again, the aim is to create some playable characters (and NPCs) for D&D., etc. and hopefully I’m achieving that… well I’m having fun anyway before Autumn ends, Winter sets in and COVID rears its head again!
