Some relatively quick and nasty models today to start February’s (small number of) completions. A pair of Drow Duellists from The Legend of Drizzt Dungeons and Dragons Adventure Boardgame.
Pretty straightforward paint on this pair – metallic purple armour, dark grey/black cloth parts and then a mid-tone of blue for their complexions, and the standard shock of white hair.
The swords – well, the entire models – are made from that bendy-as-fuck soft PVC, so while I could try to hot-water-straighten them, the moment these awkward figures go into a figure case they’ll just re-bend, so perhaps think of them as wielding swords inspired by Ivy from Soul Calibur’s. I now have only 5 models from the Drizzt game left on my paint desk, except apparently there should be three of these, so I’ve misplaced one. Fucking brilliant.
This pair does at least qualify for Dave Stone’s current Paint what You Got challenge.

Nicely done! 🙂 I like the colour scheme and the bases match it nicely!

Thanks John. Purple is an easy “no thinking required” scheme for Dark Elves and Drow, after all! 😉

One sow’s ear successfully transformed into a silk purse – well done! 🙂

Thanks mate – perhaps a hessian purse, though! 😀

Those are some really bendy swords! You did a great job painting all of these up. The goblin sculpts look really nice as well. I don’t know if I could have found the motivation to finish such challenging minis!

They’re actually the opposite of challenging – easy, low-stakes models that aren’t smothered in exra details. Since they’re for a boardgame the intrinsic motivation is to play the game with a fully-painted set, and since they’re not especially great models the bar of how much I care about them and how good they “need” to be is low – quite the opposite of something like a Warhammer Quest or Crisis Protocol model.

Ah, they sound bloody annoying mate! I really like what you’ve done with them though dude, that metallic purple is cool 👍

At least they were quick to paint. The really annoying part is knowing that there’s another one somewhere… I’d hoped to do a full playthrough of the fully-painted Drizzt game this year.

I would say you achieved a lot on these mate with how shallow the detail is.

They’re certainly good enough for tabletop use. 🙂

Thanks! There’ll be a few more in the same/similar scheme as I work my way through the remaining figures from that box…

Wudu said it best. I have that boxed set, so I know how bad those minis are. I am pretty excited that you’re so close to finishing it up the whole thing though! 😃

Thanks mate! I found two more from it the other day and got them cleaned up. Now if I can manage a concerted push through the final half dozen or so they’ll be done.. maybe next month with the Monster focus this month. 😮

Love the purple metallic and the blue skin. Somewhere an Andorian figure is wishing you’d paint him!

Haha thanks Mark! Somehow Trek figures are few and far between! I’m sure there’s a good few STLs out there, though…
