Brutal Ice, sounds like was trying to take away all the senses, first sight, next would be touch (removed head from the body) any chance of resurrection by high level cleric?

It would be possible to resurrect her but highly unlikely. We are way out in the wilderness, months from the nearest place that would have a cleric high enough level to preform the deed. Also, she and I came from a clan of barbarians that hate undead. I don't think our people like the idea of resurrections. More importantly, it would take us months in real life time to get there and that would leave one player without a character for a long time.

Really awesome work mate. I love the harlequins mate. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see more

Did you de-wolf that flyer? It seems to have less bling on it then I remember from the pictures.

You playing Rise of the Runelords? Your death story sounds familiar. Ogres/giants with x3 and x4 crit weapons are brutal for spike damage. You go from “fine” to “dead” with no warning. Monks are particularly bad for that, as they generally rely on AC not giant meaty wads of HPs to stay up. So when the dice turn on them, it gets ugly FAST.

@Nevelon- Yep, right on the money with that-RotR. Jaagrath Kreeg, aka Daddy, just saw his son take an arrow in the back of the head and die. The monk rushed him. Attack of Opportunity hit from entering reach threatened square, then on his turn POW!

At least it was a named character, with his own Pawn, not Ogre 25. They had been chopping them down pretty well outside of the named ones whou had Fighter levels. I added a couple Troggles from the Monster Codex for some challenge. It was a little reckless of her as she knew she wasn't invulnerable, having 2 sessions ago having been knocked below 0 and stuck on a meat hook while the water boiled in the cauldron. You see, the key is to let the water boil, then add the human. Trying to save her, Ice's character had his eyes slashed and was blinded. So, for this fight he was being led towards the fight as he kept falling down otherwise. I guess I kind of feel bad, but I have had characters die in similar manners before.

Spike damage is a good way to put it. Human bane is bad news bears.

As for the bling, I just haven't gotten to it yet. It will get golded up nice and pretty.

@Brian- You should take Ice and I out to St. Elmo's for shrimp cocktail!

@Knightley - They are deep in the wilderness, resurrection and raising is kind of out of reach. She died. Next game session she will be buried and a wandering new hero will arrive.

Just found this... and wow! Great looking minis! I've only gone back far enough to see your Harlies (which are awesome, btw!) but I'll catch up another time.

Welcome, Zambro! It doesn't have much of a theme to it, besides presenting what I am working on and have done. It has its WHFB phases and Space Marine phases and Harlequin phases. Glad you have enjoyed so far. Hope you like my earlier work.

For now, 5 halberdiers and 5 crossbowmen done.

I picked up the Archaon End Times book, so that will put a dent in the painting until I know what happens.

I have since gone back and caught up. Harlies are my favourite!

How are you finding the Archaon book? I've only read Nagash, and I'm looking to get Glottkin somewhere in the future. What are his rules like?

Archaon is insane. He is a nigh invulnerable beatstick of doom with 24" Inspiring Presence. He is going to suck to fight.

So, no pics this time. Been banging away at Empire guys. 30 done and 10 half done. Snuck a death mage in there.

I'd like to get that SW flyer done too. I'll get to it when I am tired of blue and red dudes.

Still have like 70 more to finish...

Could have used the vacation of Adepticon. I'll remember that for next year...

45 Halberdiers done. 15 Crossbowmen. 5 battle mages. Starting on the swordsmen-5 done.

WHFB Thug Life.

Some of my most soul-crushing moments painting were slogging through rank and file troops for WHFB. The tedium knows no bounds.

They do look nice all ranked up when you get done though.

Since you are all illiterate, I have provided pics.

This is the last Harlequin I have gotten painted. Have a few more yet to go.


Unique basing scheme, I believe.

I have been painting Empire like mad. I made several wizards. My next is a bright wizard based on the Dark Elf Sorceress.

Woh that feral wizard is cool

Fantastic stuff! The Wizards are great, especially the character in their faces, and the Harlie is epic too, especially the base (is it still a base when it has more mass than the mini itself? )

Clearly that harli is MFA. He’s not on the base supplied with the miniature; he’s on the base supplied by the marine

Cool looking stuff. Nice assortment of finger-wiggling robe-wearing types.

The harlie is awesome. Love the shocked look on the chaos marine.

Awesome Harlequin!

You're doing serious work on your WHFB stuff!

I'm procrastinating on my orc and goblin army right now...

Hey guys, thanks.

MFA - yeah, I thought about that for a sec and then didn't care. Too cool.

The stripes are pretty jank, but I think you get distracted from that pretty well.

I have a lot of wizards. They are just cool. I have 3 cannons and 9 or 10 wizards, and no Demigryph cav or Steam Tank. I am an odd duck in the Empire crowd..

Heh that blue cloaked wizard, I saw the white patch on his back and thought, oh that looks like bird poop, then saw he had a bird on his hat. Winning.

Love that Harlequin!
*poke* "hurggggghhhhhhh!!!"

Chankin them out..


hummmm... Space wolves..... tap , tap, tap!

Those wizards are ace, nice touches to them, like the Orbs.

That Harlie is very well done, love the basing

Wizards are really nice as well, Mr Bird Poop is funny

Do us a Joker and Harleen

Sounds like a low budget movie.. Joker and Harleen and the non working cars in our front yard!

Moon quickly post something.. were going into the ditch and Ice is laughing!

Don't hold your breath on me doing comic book conversions.

I would try my hand at those minis I think /knight makes, but it would require a donation to the cause.

Lol. Bird poop on the wizard.

Now this man gets it.

Sorry Im late to the party

I'm really liking those wizards. Poop wizard took me a little longer than I care to admit (I first thought it was snow)< but soon as I realized the bird was there it was awesome.

New harlie looks nice as well. Bit insane having a "base" that is bigger than the mini itself
