Spot the thief hiding in the shadows.
I haven't got names for them yet, but I am starting to think of some kind of background.
They are all GW plastic minis, mostly from the rather well designed old Empire Militia sprues. There are far more that I need for one warband, but I wanted to provide some extra soldier types both for variety in warband make up, and for improvements when the gold allows. That and its great fun coming up with ideas on how to use the sprues to make the different types. I've already thought of a templar build and if I can source one of the old plastic chaos marauders I can have a barbarian too.
As they have relatively little in the way of cold weather gear they should work nicely as Ghost Archipelago crew as well.
They are posing on some terrain I made for the current D&D adventure. A set of ramps and platforms that make up various sized step pyramids, a feature of the current dungeon. They will also make interesting blocking terrain for Frostgrave, and should be right at home in Ghost Archipelago.
They were all cut from pink XPS foam and scribed using first a knife then a pencil. Texture added with a ball of scrunched up foil, strengthened with Mod Podge then painted with tester pots of paint (much cheaper than model paints and fine for this sort of project). I may add a thin black wash to pick out the details and darken them a bit, but I rather like the stone colour.
Now how do I log the terrain in my challenge? How about a separate category
