Lelith Hesperax and Dwarf Wizards

The painting pace slowed a bit this weekend. I had to take a bit of a break. I was tiring of the Hellions (and Drukhari in general) so I splashed a bit of paint on a few other things and I even managed to finish up a few of thems Saturday evening! (I often keep a few other things around the workbench for just such an occasion - when I want to paint something but just getting sick of what I've been working on).



Lelith Hesperax - a Drukhari named character. Lelith is a succubus of the Cult of Strife.

She'll probably end up being used as a "Counts As.." mini in a detachment using the Cult of Strife rules. This may or may not be used in the upcoming tournament. I may finish up one of the regular generic Succubi for the force Finnegan's going to use.



Dwarf wizards from Lead Adventure Miniatures. I actually painted the female wizard some time ago, but repainted her dress as I didn't like the colour. It was originally painted blue, but that just wasn't working for me (and besides, I also painted another pair of Dwarf Wizards in blue).

I like this pair. I feel like I could build a Frostgrave warband around them... Not sure what TYPE of wizard just yet! Any followers still playing Frostgrave? Any suggestions?


Coming Soon to Tim's Miniature Wargaming Blog:

NOT DWARVES! I think I got that out of my system and am ready to push forward with more Drukhari!

Dwarven Rangers (And Super Dungeon Explore Billmen!)

I painted up some Lead Adventure Miniatures Dwarves  - from the Dwarven Gold Fever Kickstarter which had just arrived - for my  entry for round eight of the Lead Adventure Forum’s Lead Painter’s League (could I cram anymore links into that sentence!?).

(Remember: click on the pictures for a bigger version):

Five Dwarven womenfolk from Lead Adventure Miniatures. Originally I’d thought I’d submit the unit below, but then decided to just include these five Lead Adventure Miniatures under the title “Madgel’s Crew”. The four with crossbows are going to be part of a unit of Dwarven Rangers for

Dwarven Rangers for Dragon Rampant (Scouts – 2 points).

Four are the Lead Adventure Miniatures figures above. To round out the unit are figures from Reaper Miniatures and West Wind Productions.

I tried to paint them with soiled and stained dresses and cloaks – like they’ve really been out in the bush crawling about in the muck.

Scouts in Dragon Rampant aren’t going to win you any battles by destroying enemies – they are useless in hand-to-hand and can’t always be guaranteed to shoot (Shoot 7+) and don’t shoot as far as other missile units… but they do get around (Move 5+) and they’re hard to target with missiles – so I imagine they’d be good for scenarios which AREN’T just about killing the other guys – and would excel at denying the enemy control of areas of the table, running about gathering up gems, etc.

This is Madgel. I’m not sure what I’ll be using her for – some sort of wizard or shameness.

Madgel again.

I have more dwarves coming up for Round Nine – but NOT Lead Adventure Dwarves – and they aren’t even for the same army as these!

I never did post a pic of my My entry from Round seven. These are a few more miniatures I painted from The Girl’s Super Dungeon Explore: Forgotten King game.

Billmen from Soda Pop Miniatures. I think these are totally fun to paint – though time consuming! I tried to paint them like they were illustrated on their cards – and without metallic paints to capture the cartoony style of the illustrations.

Coming soon on Tim’s Miniature Wargaming Blog:

Probably a round-up of the boardgames I’ve played over the last month, then maybe the Dwarves from Round Nine of the LPL. After that…? I’m not sure. This week I’m going to be painting up something for Round Ten and once that’s done I am determined to finish Rick’s Robot!? Only after that will I allow myself to start assembling more jet bikes! 

Dwarven Gold Fever Kickstarter

My miniatures from the Lead Adventure Miniatures Dwarven Gold Fever Kickstarter arrived today!

I was a bit anxious when it first arrived as the package was a WRECK!!



Looked almost like it had been pretty beat up and completely soaked and dried up again - the few packing foam bits had almost completely dissolved!? Tape all coming off address label just barely held on!



Big holes in the side!?



I think it was a box originally, but it looked more like a lumpy, crumpled envelope!?



But when I checked over the contents - everything was there! Only two bent axes and one broken staff!



So I've been busy sticking them on bases - though I didn't have enough washers to do them all... Tempted to paint up a team of these for thsi week's Lead Painter's League!
