More D&D stuff being churned out in the name of both easy wins and getting ready to play through the upcoming boxes. Today we have Trobriand, which according to a D&D Wiki is/was a wizard also known as “The Metal Mage” who apparently specialised in metal golems and listening to lots of Slayer. I think this particulat model reprsents a Golem that he has posessed in some manner, which I guess explains the fireballs.
Pretty simple paint. I added the touch of gold to the trellis and the glowy bits around the head-area to make it a little more interesting, but let’s face it, it’s a pretty uninspiring model so I wasn’t going to put too much effort in. Good enough for the tabletop was the aim here!
The other models I’m bundling in here obviously don’t deserve a post of their own. They’re not terrible, but nor are they amazing or exciting. We have some (low-) Flying Swords. Whoosh!
Aaaaand… that’s that. Another 4 models towards the eventual playthrough of the Mad Mage board game.
Great work on all mate, the Golemn has elements that if carried all over the model would have made it more ornate and inspiring, but guess we can’t have everything ! LOL

Yeah, it’s a weird looking model in that sense. Not helped much by the spindly sculpt on such a large base, either.

I like it, it would work well for Sci/fi to in my opinion. the swords are nicely painted to, though as you say not the most inspiring models.
Cheers Roger.

Yeah, it could work in various sci-fi settings. A fireball is just as easily a flamethrower, and the swords are …fine.

Nice- the fireball throwing golem looks very steam if not cyber punk….

Yeah, it’s actually a pretty genre-flexible model.

The swords are the cutest thing! It’s like a slightly homicidal Casper 😀 Nice work on the golem as well.

Ha! They’re pretty dinky. Like knee-height swords floating around the dungeon!

Love that steampunk Golem, and the swords crack me up – I immediately thought shark fin, and now I can’t unsee Dr. Evil being pleased with his new ‘sharks with frickin’ swords’ 😂 🗡🦈

Nice balls!
Obviously, I mean the fire balls…
I have to laugh, when I first opened the post I thought, ‘Sharks teeth with swords!’
Nice bases, wish I’d done something like that with my D&D efforts.

Yeah. When I saw them my thought was very much “how the fuck am I supposed to paint those?”
I now have three beholders on the desk to paint that have a very similar issue, though at least theirs look a little less like sharks’ teeth or fins!

Reminds me of my Archive “Roberker” – a giant robot with flame throwers on the end of its arms. As usual, you did a great job here.

I can certainly see that, they both have that spindly slightly awkward look to them, and with a similar paintjob between the two…
