D&D Monster Manual 48: Tomb of Annihilation – Giant Four-Armed Gargoyle

D&D Dungeons and Dragons Tomb of Annihilation - Giant Four-Armed Gargoyle

Another D&D model now, though this time from the Tomb of Annihilaiton set. The Giant Four-Armed Garegoyle is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. As with the previous Gargoyles I painted years ago from the Castle Ravenloft D&D set, I painted this one with the same stonework colours I used on his base. I added some putty and carved in the lines on it to create the simple flagstones, as I do with the larger-based models in these sets, and the only other thing I really did here was to add in a little bit of purple and green via washes to add some tonal depth to the otherwise pretty boring grey of the model.

This one is a decently-sized model. Not sure what it’s like in the game, but I’m possibly not looking all that forward to meeting this model in-game if it’s anything like its smaller cousins scaled up…

D&D Monster Manual 47: The Legend of Drizzt – Hypnotic Spirits

D&D Monsters, The Legend of Drizzt - Hypnotic Spirits

Another trio of D&D Trash Models today from the boardgame, The Legend of Drizzt. The coloured plastic is a quite nice little thing if you’re not planning to paint your figures, but once again the attempt to turn out something that retaained the semi-translucent qualities of the plastic didn’t work out all that well. In the past, I’ve tried washes, and this time I experimented with Contrast Paints. They’ve turned out ok, but not exactly amazeballs. Could I have done a better job on these if I’d painted them using traditional means? Sure. But as with msot of these board game models I want to get them out quick and easy, and if I’m going to spend a bit of extra time making undead look good, I have plenty of Nighthaunt models sitting around unpainted that much more deserve the time.

Still, when we get to the Drizzt game shortly, I’m sure these will look absolutely fine on the table, and that’s the key thing for this model trio!
