First up was the Animated Weapons. These are a Challenge Rating 1/4 Construct and I simply used some spare plastic weapons from a sprue of skeletons I built up previously. Mounted on some push-pins and quickly painted and washed.
Two Short Swords and a pair or Hand-Axes. These will be used to ambush unwary adventurers! |
I also painted up a cloak that can be used for several different monsters, but will first be used as a Shadow, a Challenge Rating 1/2 Undead. Also made from spare bits and painted quickly. The final mini is a plastic Orc from Mantic, I think. I wanted some orcs on the cheap and couldn't source the Reaper bones at the time I ordered these. Orcs are Challenge Rating 1/2 Humanoids and are commonly found raiding the lands of more civilized races.
The orc is armed with two hand-axes and is the first of a small warparty I have planned for the campaign. |
That's it for this week! Hopefully I can get these finished up by next time and even get some paint on the Ki-45.
Haven't seen animated weapons being used in a game for yonks. Aside from a cleric's spiritual weapon, that is. Like how you've painted those though and their design in general is simple and thankfully lacking in typical fantasy "bling".
ReplyDeleteMy orcs are old pig-faced orcs from the old D&D cartoon!
