D&D Minis - Francis' Friends (part 4)

When I showed you the undercoated minis for Hana the human rogue and Citronella the dwarf cleric the idea was that Citronella's player would paint them.  However, work and life got in the way, so i've finished them off.

Citronella's player sent me a character sketch which gave me the colours to work with, and Hana's player showed me a picture at the FLGS that gave me some ideas.

I tried to keep to a fairly limited pallet of muted colours so she can sneak around.

Hana carries, and regularly uses, a Healing Potion.

In the current adventure the heroes have been exploring an old 'Dragon Shrine'.  It has been overrun with kobolds (you can see my kobolds here and here) and their pets.

The bulk of kobold encounteres include giant Rats, but the tribe had an Ambush Drake, perhaps they think its a bit like a dragon?

The Ambush Drake was a WotC D&D prepaint, and wasn't put together very well.  It had a bad lean, due partly to the two halves not being fitted correctly.

A quick paintjob and a rebase improves it considerably; I was able to give a more upright posture when I based it.

As the party are close to finishing the current adventure, I'd better get some minis ready for the next one.

Some Non Surprising Kickstarter News, and Some Surprising Non Kickstarter News

Last week Reaper Miniatures announced the Bones V Kickstarter, to launch in September.  Hardly a surprise, given the success of the previous four campaigns.  There may have been some issues with the production and distribution, but pretty much everyone must have their stuff by now, so probably time for a new one.

It's also not surprising that Mantic Games announced Kings of War 3 to arrive in October.  What may be more surprising is that this will not be funded by Kickstarter.

Oh, and talking of new editions, Frostgrave is getting a second edition next year.
