Valhalla is looking like a really cool game... hmmm.

Terrible pun intend Yeah, Gates of Valhalla really is. I haven't started the characters yet but looking through the rules the development paths look very well thought out. I love a dungeon crawler. Also, because you're so dependent on melee I suspect it's going to feel a lot more lethal - Forbidden Fortress (Feudal Japanese fantasy) has this to an extent but there's at least some ranged options, in Gates it's just the one archer character and no support (no ashigaru riflemen in Valhalla!) At least in the Old West version you're blasting away till you get overrun. Plus, the whole game has a great Frostgrave vibe.

Thanks! I decided not to use flesh colours but blend pinks instead and I think it really pops.
In the meantime, I took a wee break from Valhalla to start the other Adventures set, Valley of the Serpent Kings:

The Croxin! a fearsome beast indeed.

Had quite a lot of fun with this, adding the wee cowboy hat to the base, playing with glue for drool, and so on.
Meanwhile, have started turning a viking warrior into a Draugr for the monthly contest and will then get onto the big guys. I'll likely hold off on my Alliance team for BB for next month's Footslogger contest as my Clone Troopers haven't turned up yet. Tragic, I know.

Very cool alligator monster thing. Looks almost prehistoric.

Thanks!
Back to Valhalla

For variety, just decided to convert one into a Draugr as part of the monthly contest. With these done, I'll move up to the big fellas.

And just for fun, found this fella in my random fantasy mini bag.

Painted him up as Remy, the incredibly sweary Fox duelist from the Crimes Against Magic series. Nice to do something for no reason other than feeling like it. As ever, painting is therapy.
