Fastasy Roster

My first playthrough of the one dungeon to rule them all exposed a few holes in the lineup.  The place lacked a decent missile threat and that all important ‘ambush factor’. To beef up the undead ranks, and make parties that lack a clericbreally feel the pain, my necromantic...

From the Archive – Ogre Cyclops

Here’s another blast from my college day past.  Just some bargain bin big old dude.  He is ostensibly a 28-mm scale figure, but he is a giant of a figure, standing close to 10-feet tall.  In scale, of course.   Captain Hook One Eye here has also seen use...

From the Archive – Hard and Blurry

Note much to say about this mind-1990s figure except that he has mainly seen use in a giant monster rampage style game.  Not even sure what manufacturer makes this guy.  RAFM?  He stands easily twice as tall as most 25mm-ish figures, so it’s acutally a giant cyclops skeleton....

From the Archive – Big Red

You know what goes great with leftover Turkey?  Old miniatures! Every collection of wargame miniatures needs at least one dragon. This one marks the first time that I was able to get the shading on the color red done right.  For some reason it took a big canvas and...

From the Archive – Lost in the Maze of Nostalgia

Pop quiz, hotshot.  From the Archive is an ongoing series:     A. where I show off some of my oldest and most beloved figures.     B. of filler posts.     C. Both A and B.     D. screw you. Warren, I didn’t come here for finals week, make with...

Tyranny of Dragons – Take Three

The Cult of the Dragon has (so far) claimed two victims at our table.  Somebody is sending reinforcements in the form of a big dumb elven fighter named Yolo Ellsolor.  Ellsolor is a Quenyan word that roughly translates to moonsurfer.  Yolo is a diminutive, actually an anagram for an...

New Year’s Party

Day late and a gold coin short, here’s a shot of the full lineup of the party standing between Faerun and a so-far vaguely draconic but unspecified threat. Karran, Gilgamesh, Aramis, Henry, and Grim On the one hand, if the fate of the Realms lies in the hands of...

Tyranny of Dragons Party – Yours Truly

The most colorful member of the party, in more ways than one, must be my character, a dwarven tank named Henry St. John.  He actually dual wields two light hammers, but the figure came with a hammer and axe.  The axe went to yesterday’s dragon-born paladin, and the dragon-born’s...

Fighting Fire With Fire

Sometimes it takes a dragon to beat a dragon.  The toughest character in our party running the Tyranny of Dragons gauntlet is the dragonborn warrior, Karran.  This paladin is a white-dragon blooded tank of a hero.  Unlike the three previous characters in the party, the guy playing this character...

Sic Semper Tyrannis Draconis

Aramis, cleric of Helm, tank-slash-healbot extraordinaire, and all around good guy.  He has been instrumental in cracking the tyranny of dragons campaign.   Fifth edition clerics seem like a hard class to play.  They have so many options at every level of the game, there’s a lot to track...
