D&D Monster Manual 73: Tomb of Annihilation – Vegepygmies and Batiri Goblins

D&D Dungeons and Dragons Monsters - Tomb of Annihilation – Vegepygmies and Batiri Goblins

As I noted the other day, I was looking through some containers of models in December and found the Zombicide Crowz – in that same container, I found the Vegepygmies and Batiri Goblins – from the Tomb of Annihilation D&D board game, and decided to put in the (small) amount of required effort to get them painted up!

As someone who’s really not a D&D player, I’m only vaguely familiar with a lot of their monsters – and I also have to assume that some D&D monsters are tied to some specific settings/worlds, but I also understand that a lot of people’s actual campaigns feature a mix of whatever the DM feels like throwing in at the time. Anyway, that’s a long-winded way of simply stating that I’d never heard of either of these races. The colourful one of these Vegepygmies is the Chief!

The three Batiri Goblins all had the same sculpt, so I just painted their decoration featuring different colours. It won’t have any gameplay effect other than perhaps “move the goblin two spaces closer – yeah, the red one”.

You can see here that they’re all pretty small. I’ve got them here next to a Khorne Bloodbound from AoS and a D&D Nolzur’s Dragonborn – and even a 15mm Flames of War model. Allowing for the variation in base sizes, you can see just how small these models are. Still, they’re done and we’re one step (or seven small steps!) closer to playing Tomb of Annihilation!

…I really need to finish off the last models from the Drizzt game so we can play it this year!

December of Zombies: Zombicide Black Plague: Murder of Crowz Part 1.

A quick one today! While looking through tubs of models in late December I found these models sitting there with some texture paste on their bases and sprayed in black. These were from one of the Black Plague expansion boxes that I opened and got out long ago in order to use as Razorwing Flocks for my Dark Eldar/Drukhari in 40k.

Of course, I never got around to painting them back then, and since in Decemebr I was in full Zombicide mode, I decided to get ’em done. These Black Plague Crowz are the Five won’t be enough to incorporate into any games, so these will just go into storage until I can get at least 10 more cleaned and painted. The painting is pretty trivial, but the mould line cleaning will take a bit longer…

The only difference between the two types of Crowz for regular modern Zombicide and the fantasy Black Plague will be in my basing, since they’re identical sculpts – so I’ll be able to use both sets across both games. Once they’re painted, anyway…
