Dungeon: Serpent's Skull Catacombs

I recently did a quick build for a small catacombs dungeon in Serpent's Skull of my own design. The actual encounter just said that the players have a encounter with a strong undead creature. I put in my own twist and decided this undead must have some sort of lair. Since he has control over animals I figured that a way to retreat back to his coffin (it was vampire-like) would be handy. So I placed four special tiles in the dungeon that when stepped upon by living creatures would open the door to his inner sanctum for a round or two. He would mindcontrol four spiders to do this for him, the players would have some issues though.

The fight was rather awesome and in the end they did manage to invade his sanctum and slay the undead. Much better then a random encounter with the undead creature.

And a quick shot of the setup: (Notice the mixing of my tilesets, the new and old one)

Finishing Up: Grick

A long time ago I converted a Otherworld Miniatures Giant Leech to a Grick (see concept art at bottom of the post). Now this was a long time ago and it broke about half a year ago when I seriously fumbled it.

So for 'finishing up' I grabbed all the pieces, reconstructed some of the (admittedly crappy) paintjob and added eeww-ey ooze to the base with crystal gel. I didn't fully repaint the mini, because that is not the point of 'finishing up'. If I keep updating paintjobs I will never get to minis that don't even have a paintjob yet.

Finishing Up: Purple worm

A while ago I painted a Bones purple worm as a frost worm. It has been a while and I finally decided to paint my second worm, traditionally this time. Meet, a purple worm. None of my pathfinder parties could handle the CR on this thing, but meh.

And for comparison here is the frost worm from the past.

Kassata Lewynn

This is Kassata Lewynn, the faction leader of the Free Captains in Serpent's Skull, and soon to be doubled as Sandara Quinn in my Skull and Shackles campaign.

Pathfinder mini's are always a joy to paint. They are so detailed and give a lot of satisfaction once completed. In this case I worked with a muted color palette for once, and it really seems to be working. Unfortunately the picture isn't one of my best.

Any tips to improve on the shooting of her picture are welcome!

Next up: A purple worm.

Finishing up: Hatchling black dragon

I have painted this mini three times over a span of two years and I was never quite happy with it. Finally decided to man up and do one final repaint. Black dragons are... well black, so I added purple to give some distinction. I also added a small 'hoard', very cute, and tall grass to give the idea that he is slithering around in tall grass.

The mini is from Reaper, though I don't know where from exactly. A familiar pack I think. Hm...

Next up: I am unsure. I think three nymphs.

Sea Hag

This is the mini I have been working on for a while now. It was for a Pathfinder session, meet the Sea Hag from Reaper.

She was a joy to paint. I tried wet blending on the skin and I am quite happy with how it turned out. I also tried crystal gel on the base and drybrushed that to emulate water. Turned out rather awesome if I do say so myself.

Next up: A very small black dragon.

Finishing up: Old GW mummy

And here is another Finishing Up mini. A old GW mummy model. Once got it for my Tomb Kings, but I didn't think it fit. It is a perfectly recognizable model for a good Pathfinder session though!
