Dungeons and Dragons Wrath of Ashardalon Grell

Oh D&D… why you so crazy?

Today’s ridiculous-looking D&D Boardgame monster is the trio of Grell from Wrath of Ashardalon. There’s a lot of Contrast Paint here, though it’s all been combined with traditional paints and techniques (and a shitload of medium) – so we’re not exactly talking about new techniques here – or anything special I can recall doing. One thing about these particularly-silly looking D&D monsters is that their origins are with Games Workshop – and specifically GW co-founder Ian Livingstone.

What do I mean? Watch this (interesting) video to find out…

May 2020: Personal Painting Wrap-Up.

Here’s what I managed to finish off overe the course of May 2020. Witht he exception of the elementals (4 models) and a pair of the D&D Boardgame Baddies (2 models) all of these were basically Neglected models from The Tray – having been unfinished for months, years, or in a few cases – decades.

30 full-sized models, plus 4x 20mm Infantry Markers, plus 4x 20mm Infantry stands with 3 models on each (16). So 46 models. The tray has definitely helped, but I’m really struggling with the last 1/3 or so of the models on it. I think in future I should have fewer models on it – still keeping a good variety of them in terms of genre and how long they’ve been Neglected for – but that way I can turn them over a bit faster and probably also give myself a “reward” model or two between each one.
