Heroscape Helm's Deep Campaign

"It's done. You only need 1 ROTV, 1 FOTA, & 1 RTTFF to play it. It you have 4 sets of each, you will be able to build the entire board." -peteparkerh

You can download the campaign here: Download

He needs your help playtesting so off you go and make sure you give him your feedback. This is a truly awesome idea and one of inspiration. I can't wait for a Battle for Isengard Campaign!

Sir Rordric the Mercenary (0 point unit)

This is the DnD Human Sellsword mini from the DDM4E Starter Set. I'm considering taking the Mercenary's Loyalty Special Power off because all Mercenary units have it. I'm also not sur about giving it a general because mercenaries only follow a general for money or if the army is guaranteed to win.

Honorary Head Nod #1

I decided I'd, once a week, share some work in the miniatures world. This week I have a modified Omnicron Sniper by Soundwarp SG-1. You can find his other mods here: Soundwarp's Mods

I'm gonna try to do this every Thursday, so stay tuned!

Undead Cavalry Playtest

After I rebased my brothers 3 Nightmare Banshees from the Horrorclix line. We decided to playtest for Heroscape. I'll post a card sometime later. The first battle was between the Krav Maga Agents and the Undead Cavalry. In 2 turns, the KMA killed all three of the banshees and took no casualties. The second to fifth battle we put them at 75 points and challenged them against the Anubian Wolves. They went two-two and then we got bored so put them at 70 points. The whole time my Wolves were rolling I rolled 2-6 for Unleased Fury more than half a dozen times.

Bought 6 figures from my bro

I bought the Einar Imperium and the Obsidian Guards from my brother. I got them for a dollar a figure. I have some ideas for a paint job on the Obsidian Guards already. This now puts me at:
Utgar- 84
Einar- 28

Finished small rocks

I am being really lazy on the Town Project so I'll have finished right now are the four little rocks. The big rocks are coming soon though! I also have reorganized my painting station.

Other things since my last update:
- Tried out Soulsteader (HS-variant)
- Paint rock 24-hex tiles
- Repainted some Heroscape bases back to original brown color

Air Archon Heroscape Stats

I made some stats for my Air Archon Zephyrhaunt figure. Still needs to be playtested, then I'll make the card.

Air Archon Zephyrhaunt
Aquilla
Elementar
Common Squad
Archon
Wild (may change based on playtesting)
Medium 6
Life 1
Move 6
Range 1
Attack 4
Defense 4
Points (TBD)
Special Powers:
Cyclone Fling Special Attack- Range 3. Attack 3. When an Air Archon Zephyrhaunt attacks with its Cyclone Fling Special Attack, it may attack 2 additional times. It cannot attack the same figure more than once. If the Cyclone Fling Special Attack causes a wound, move the figure 2 spaces from the Air Archon. Figures may not move up more than 3 hexes high when pushed.

Flying

In order to make it feel like I'm playing the same unit, I created a conversion for DnD to Heroscape.

New Town Project

I decided to make some buildings but I also wanted to set a goal with that too. So my newest project is going to be to make a town similar to Draynor Village from Runescape. I logged in and wrote down the dimensions for all the buildings and took some other notes. By the time I'm finished I hope to have finished:
- 9x buildings (4x3x1, 7x4x1, 6x5x1, 7x5x1, 6x6x3, 8x5x1, 10x7x1)
- 11x trees (5x willow, 6x other)
- 8x rocks (4x small, 4x medium)
- 1x obelisk/shrine
- 4x market stalls
- 1x tower

I wish I could make more trees but that may overwhelm the map...

Ninjas!

Finally got around to posting these ninjas! Again an extremely easy repaint but a necessary one, the ninja on the left was painted white so I decided I would get rid of the shiny plastic look from the other two while I was at it.

These ninjas sculpts are great and look so much better without a shiny plastic look.

Cheap Village Tutorial

Found a great post by sergeant t which tells you how to make a whole wargaming village easy. Not to mention: its dirt cheap to make.

Tutorial Link

This is gonna have to go onto my to do list. Wouldn't it be great to have some village scenery for DnD and Heroscape!

Marro Squid

I painted this like a week ago. Its the DnD Roper from the Against the Giants set. I got the mini for my birthday and immediately knew I would paint it into a Marro someday. That someday was last week. All I did was put a black base coat on, then used Apple Barrel: Barn Red. Last I mixed white and FolkArt: Teddy Bear Tan for the top tan color.

I like how this one came out. Unfortunately, this is gonna use up my last DW9K base (the extra big one).

In other news, I cut the Balor off its base and stuck it on a 2 hex base. I also rebased 2 other DnD minis: the Yuan-Ti Swiftscale and Orc Raider.

Little Trolls

I painted these for my bro in exchange for a MegaBlocks dragon. They are trolls from the Battlegrounds: Crossbows & Catapults expansion. It came with four, but only two different sculpts. This was a simple one, but I procrastinated on it a lot. I plan on painting my new troll to match these guys...

Next up tomorrow: Marro Squid

Some new DnD minis

I got a pack of DnD minis on Wednesday. Only got 5 for $24, never buying an actual pack again... especially when I basically got a $15 value (actually pretty good for a blind purchase). I got:

Air Archon Zephyrhaunt
Balor
Doomdreamer
Slaad Spawn
War Troll

The air archon will go to Aquilla's elemental faction. The rest will go to Utgar. My favorite out of this whole pack and also the only nonrandom mini in the pack. It fits perfectly as a giant mutant kyrie for Utgar. Unfortunately, its also the one that needs to be rebased. This guy rides a 3 inch base. The one I was very unimpressed with was the troll. Even the studio paintjob is bad. I'm in the process of painting him right now. The other three are average, will paint those eventually...

In other news... I have been painting a lot lately but I'm gonna restrain myself to one a day, if that.

Some rocks

A couple of rocks that I found in my driveway, posed, and hot glued to a cardboard hex. Then I added sand. And then painted sand black and drybrushed on some FolkArt Medium Gray. Not much to it and will probably make some bigger ones and some small ones riding 1" square bases for my DnD scenes. I haven't tried completely repainting the whole rock yet... maybe next time.

Not much for this one and I'm getting used to using the "Add Image" tool so my pics don't take up the whole screen. Sorry for bad 2nd pic.

Marro Dusk NGS

Got around to repainting that NGS. This time with some gold armor. I also painted a set of the Marro Warriors, I'll post those sometime in the next couple days. I also put in the extra work to shrink these pics so they fit on the screen.

For now, see these pics of the new NGS:





I was looking for another excuse to use my gold paint. :p Just wait til I post the pics of my golden elementals.
