This is a Reaper Bones miniature, called Filth Beast (#77125) and carved by K. Williams.  This was challenging for a couple of reasons.  It is the first real miniature from Reaper that I’ve painted, and this plastic is not easy to deal with.  I’ve also been experimenting with washes...

Two more simple Reaper Bones figures to add to Castle Meatgrinder.  These are called “Spell effect: Tentacles” (#77367), and are carved by one C. Staples.  While they might work well as spell effect markers, (I could see these painted in a black and neon green to add some magic...

One of the few safe havens inside Castle Meatgrinder is a vaulted room with a heavy stone door.  The center of the dome shaped room is dominated by a massive stone column carved into twin angels standing back to back.  They radiate the light of God, and prevent entry by...

Rooms full of weird pools meant to tempt, trap, lure, and reward adventurers go all the way back to those halcyon days of B-effing-1, In Search of the Unknown.  That was back when TSR didn’t sell adventurers to follow, they sold modules to explore and use to create your own...

One of my Christmas gifts to myself was this great box.  It had personal hygiene products in it, but I’m a gamer, so did what gamers do and threw that in the garbage.  This box, though.  Sliding top, solid wood, pretty swanky.  At some point I will need to...

Still on the road, so just a quick hit today.  For those of you that haven’t figured it out yet, my posts are scheduled weeks in advance.  As you read these words, I am cooling my heels working in San Francisco for a month.  While I’m gone, please enjoy...

Imagine your characters walking into a large chamber dominated by this thing. The top is simply a 10mm wizard courtesy the fine folks over at Irregular Miniatures.  The base is part of a Kid’s Meal toy that’s been bopping around the bits box for years.  I always knew it...

Here’s a nice and versatile dungeon feature. It could be a cage trap set to drop on the unwary.  It could be a cage containing a rare and expensive monster that, whoops – the party just stepped on a release mechanism and now it’s escaped.  Or it could contain...

Another quickie for your lookie.  A wall of spears that leap out at adventurers who don’t exercise enough caution.   This dungeon feature looks a bit rickety on its own, but it was built to fit over the “walls” of the 2.5D dungeon, like so. You may have noticed...

Inspired by a hallway in The Goonies, this heavy stone block is apt to fall from any ceiling without warning.  It’s actually modelled wrong.  It needs to have a hook in the top for a support rope, rather than crossed ropes which would be obvious to bypassers, but it...
