Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures, The Legend of Drizzt - Drow Duellists

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.

January 2023 Monthly Round-Up

Yeah, I know – long time, no post. Again. The short version is that work right now is more brutal than it’s ever been in all my time there due to a number of issues, and on top of that we’ve had a pretty hot February compared to the last few while at the same time the AirCon has packed it in along with heatwaves covering almost every weekend – so my weekends lately are a lot less …productive. Or pleasant. So with that, it’s time for the rather belated January Round-Up.

January was essentially a handful of this, a handful of that, and a pile of those. What that actually means is that I got the remainder of my Zombie Dogz painted as well as a single Hasslefree Zombie and the Abominabear from the Western-themed version of Zombicide.

The second handful of models is of course the collection of Original and newer Marvel Crisis Protocol models – Three more from the core set: Black Widow, Captain Marvel and Baron Zemo as well as an earlier model in Venom and some slightly later ones in three of the Winter Guard – Red Guardian, Ursa Major and Crimson Dynamo.

The pile, of course is the 18 Secret Weapon Tiles that I managed to complete. I still have the second half of them to work through – the ones with actual roads on them – and the hope now is to get them done if not before, then over the Easter Break.

Creating my initial tally for 2023 so far: 11 dogz, 2 other Zombies, 18 tiles and 7 Crisis Protocol models – for a total of 38 models. A lot more than I’ll have for February, but I’ll get to those in the next few days! Hopefully when (if!) work calms down, I’ll start to catch up on people’s blog posts. Not that some of you make it any easier to catch up – you know who you are! 😉
