Big Surprise!

After writing up my last post, it occurred to me that I do have a box of odds and ends that might be perfect for Castle Meatgrinder’s heavy hitters.  Here are two of them.  (There are a few more that we’ll leave in our back pocket for surprises).  Here’s...

The Compleat Castle Meatgrinder

Who are we kidding? A project like this is never complete, it just goes into hibernation. As we round out the year of fantasy skirmish here at War In A Box, let’s take a look at where the project stands. At the current time we’ve got over 50 characters in...

Children of Mordor

The biggest warband in Castle Meatgrinder must be the ravening horde of orcs.  You can get an even two dozen of these bad boys from Splintered Light for twenty bucks.  And these figures pretty well match the style of those in the Jim Roslof artwork on the cover of...

A Time for Elfs

Merry Christmas! Ral Partha Europe makes another appearance in the depths of the dungeons beneath Castle Meatginder.  This time its a full unit of wood elves painted in muted blues and browns.  This makes for a pretty good range of character choices.  You’ve got everything from magic elf to...

More Heroic Dudes

This last collection represents the last heroes from 15mm.co.uk (plus the second Halfling from Irregular Miniature’s 6mm line).  All that’s left now is the wild elves from Ral Partha Europe, and we’ll have all seven character classes available for the party.   ...

Quick Notes on Random Heroics

Here’s a shot with a dwarf so you can see the relative size differences between human males, females, dwarves, and halflings.  As mentioned earlier, the humans here are 15mm.co.uk, the dwarf is Ral Partha Europe, and the halfling is Irregular 6mm.  As you can see, it’s a good spread....

Mondy Miniatures: Random Heroics

Still working to get the last of the necessary figures ready for Castle Meatgrinder.  It’s going to be a largely procedurally generated dungeon heavy on the wandering monsters and set-pieces and light on the railroad tracks.  This should be the last batch of heroes, aside from the elven warband. ...

Three Rooms

The map of Castle Meatgrinder has been done for months, but there are enough empty rooms in its halls to allow for a few more rooms with interactive elements.  The crypts needed a little bit of furniture, and 15mm.co.uk makes these nice little crypts:    They also sell...

Miniature Monday: The Bard

He’s not Shakespeare, but given the old school rules that I use for my games don’t even have “Bard” as a class.  Yes, your thief can carry a guitar, that’s a 25 coin encumbrance hit.  He came with the pack, and it adds a nice touch of flavor for...

More Monsters

More zombies!  This brings the total population of zombies in the dungeon to seven, not a bad little number.  These 15mm.co.uk guys have great hair, too! Undead fist bump! Castle Meatgrinder has a rodent problem.  In addition to the swarms of rats that prowl the halls, the steady drip of chaos...
