Damn you Wyrmalla. Now I wanna do an Elder Scrolls/Frostgrave project of my own. I already blame you for my £80 order with Brother Vinni for Fallout minis.

The Nord, swashbuckler Dunmer thug and the Golden Saint are my favourite.

The Nexus Mod Manager makes modding really easy. I've only done it for Skyrim and Fallout New Vegas though.

How on earth do you paint those buildings? They look great! Very realistic. Do you use stippling, washes, sponges, dry brushing?


Also, for your Frostgrave games, do you use any house rules to modify the game to better suit the Elder Scrolls universe? As I understand it, in Frostgrave it's all about the Wizards. They're the ones who grow in power, gaining new abilities and equipment whereas the non-Wizard henchmen are just there as back ground characters to support the Wizards, and don't have the same degree of progression and customization. That doesn't seem very suitable for Elder Scrolls, where Wizards, Fighters and Rogues are all on a equal footing (Player Character wise).

Speaking of This Is Not A Test, I've started assembling the first of my Brother Vinni Miniatures. A BOS Paladin, Commander Shepard and Hilda, the Swashbuckler Rogue/Fighter with sword and dagger/shield. The latter may see use as a Rogue or Fighter in D&D 5e.

What's it made from? Foamboard?

You should cast these and sell your own bespoke fantasy miniature range.

Also...is that second to last figure with the red armour carrying a Blunderbuss?? Sure as feth looks like one.

Oh I thought it was a Dwemer blunderbuss, didn't notice that it was for Numenara. Should read more carefully.

I think a separate project log would be a good idea actually. Add it to your signature. I frequently get confused when you bounce back and forth between settings in a single thread. I follow all of your project logs because your models and terrain are so damn cool and characterful.

And speaking of The Last of Us...I recently got the Joel and Ellie miniatures from Hasslefree miniatures. TLOU would be a great setting for a game. With it being a modern setting, you have a huge range of miniatures to choose from. A couple guys at my club have the entire range of Zombicide board games between them, so we'd have a huge supply of zombie stand in's. I might pick up Warlord Game's new zombie wargame for that.

Well not necessarily. Who says you have to focus on Joel and Ellie? You could focus on the multiplayer setting instead.

You could do Fireflies vs Military. Survivors vs Scavengers and Cannibals. Infected as an environmental hazard. Joel and Ellie might be a sort of special character mercenaries who can be taken as allies for certain groups (Fireflies and Scavengers).

I believe the new Mantic Games board game for The Walking Dead and Warlord games' zombie wargame are doing something similar, focusing on groups of competing survivors with the zombies as environmental hazards.

For an actual The Last of Us thread check out this one.

Oh cheers. I have those exact Joel and Ellie miniatures.

Hey Wyrmalla, have you ever made any Argonian miniatures? If so, could you recommend any Argonian/ lizard man type miniatures or head bits? I've been looking for a mini to represent my friends Dragonborn (like Argonians, but stocky and heavy built and no tail) Fighter in our Dungeons and Dragons campaign for a long time now.

Also, where do you get the miniatures that serve as the basis for your conversions? Looks like a lot of them are from plastic kits.

Ooops, nevermind. You indeed cited the source in the OP. (I was browsing your Gallery and saw them, should have double checked your thread first).

Have you used any other plastic kits?

Don't know if you're still going with this Elder Scrolls project, but if you ever want some Jorrvaskr Companions, Atlantis Miniatures do some fantastic werewolves.
