Dungeonalia – Necrothrall does Drow (and other beasties)

To finish the warriors I glued some basing material from Geek Gaming Scenics to the bases and sealed them with a mix of pva, ipa and water. I went with the arid grasslands mix because its a nice neutral colour blend with some nice variety to it.

I gave the whole miniature a couple of thin coats of stonewall grey (vallejo). It’s a nice light grey that takes contrast well.

The skin got a coat of magos purple, the same as the other drow.

The dress was done with leviadon blue. The spider web design was picked out with mystic white (greenstuff world).

The bowl of blood and severed heads (that must be heavy) was done with balthasar gold and washed with reikland flesh shade. I painted the elf heads up to look like above grounders. The blood was done with flesh tearers red, which I then gave a coat of blood for the blood god to make it look wet.

The belts on the scourge were given a coat of Snakebite Leather.  The metallic parts were also done with balthasar gold, which was again washed with reikland flesh shade.  Then I dropped her and snapped a couple of the weights off the scourge, which disappeared into the ether.

Here’s some medieval villagers that I  got from Footsore.  My scenario starts with the party fending off drow ambushing a merchant caravan, so I need some victims. The child is the main hook in the scenario, basically he’s going to get kidnapped.

I started them with a white prime, and then painted any exposed skin. Now my idea of medieval peasants is that they should be wearing a lot of bright colours. So that’s exactly what I did. I slopped on various contrast paints, now I need sunglasses to look at them.  Mission accomplished, I guess.

I’ve acquired a few wagons for this scenario, after all a merchant caravan needs well a caravan.  The 4 wheel one is from Great Escape Games, the 2 wheel with the horse is from Mantic and the the last one is a 3d print my mate Rob gave me.

For the base for the wood I used stonewall grey (vallejo), which I washed with agrax earthshade.  Once that was dry I gave them a quick drybrush with stonewall grey again. For the metal parts I just used a dark brown. The cloth was done with canvas (vallejo) which was washed with agrax again.

I’ve painted up some scatter. Some of this came with the mantic wagon (and it fits quite nicely in the back), the rest I got in my advent calendar last year. My camera didn’t quite pick out the colour of the fish in the barrels, but trust me they’re slightly blue.

This guy caused a bit of discussion on the unofficial hobby hangout.  It’s a wee dragon guy hatching from an egg that I got as freebie from an etsy seller. I also got this baby owlbear doing a sploot.

I just gave them a hit of contrast and a light ivory drybrush. Then picked out the teeth, beak and eyes. Finally I gave the rocks a drybrush, put some geek gaming scenics pine forest ground cover on the owlbear’s base and painted the rims.

A couple of my players needed miniatures for their characters, so here’s the first a dragonborn barbarian. The brief was a green dragonborn that doesn’t have massive tits, because why would a reptilian creature have boobs? So that’s what’s she’s getting. The miniature was painted with contrasts and was given a light drybrush of ivory to pick out the details.

Another player character.  Again mostly done using contrast paints and a light ivory drybrush to pick out the details.

The flames were undercoated white and were given a coat of a yellow contrast. Once that dried I painted the top third to half of each flame with the only opaque orange that I own, which isn’t shite. Then I did the top half of each orange area with a deep red. Finally I did the very tips with a dark grey.

This was my first attempt at smouldering wood. So I started that by painting the wood. I used vallejo stonewall grey washed with agrax earthshade. Once dry I used flesh tearers red contrast around the base of the flames, pushing it outwards in where I thought would look natural.  Once dry I stippled on some dark brown over the red, overlapping it over onto the grey, then I stippled on some black around the flames, focusing in on where the heat would be the most intense.

I’ve done a few elite drow. These are the wizkids Nolzur’s Marvelous Miniatures, they’re not the best sculpts but they are different enough that I can use them as more specialised super racist elves.

I’ve painted them up similarly to the other drow.
