Brains to Burn


I present two classic D&D monsters here. A Mind Flayer from Dungeon Encounters 1 and a Grell from Dungeon Encounters 4. There's a few of these packs on the Splintered Light website which contain a lot of the staples. The only issue is that gathering groups of certain monsters would involve multiple sets.

So the Mind Flayer... well I saw the robes and cloak and thought of Dr. Strange. I think the scheme works, it's got that rich arcane vibe. The Grell was very quick to paint up with only three major elements, brain, beak and tentacles. Both sculpts are easy to work on and the Grell is just so pretty. Whether they'll see play is another matter.

The Dwarves of Delveholme (Part V)


 And now we come to the end of the road. These are all from the Dwarf Treasure Hunting Party.

On the extreme right, we have a... barrel, painted in honour of a friend's RPG character who was a master of hiding in plain sight. On the extreme left, we have the jauntiest dwarf sculpt ever, you can actually hear his chirpy Hihohiho-ing as you look upon him.

The second and third are a pair. We have a heavily laden pack pony (Bill, is that you?) and his callous owner. The dwarf is a good sculpt, the pony is a great one.

The fourth model is amongst the finest in the set, absolutely fantastic sculpt, everything about it draws the eye. I love it.
