D&D Monster Manual 37: Dungeon of the Mad Mage – Shadows, Gray Ooze, Intellect Devourers

D&D Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Shadows

Now we’re (finally) back into the minis I’ve painted this month. – We did have Mossbeard and the Crashed Aquila Lander, but then I had to double back to show the last of May’s work. Now for June once again, we’re doing the D&D Board Game series today – this time three sets of simple villain models from The Dungeon of the Mad Mage board game. First up, we have the trio of Shadows. I thought they were ghosts initially, but Shadows works, I guess. They’re painted in deep black tones, with very subtle highlights into Citadel Dark Reaper and some very dark greys. Then washed black to tone them all down again. Because Shadows, obviously.

The next model is a Gray Ooze. A simple, ugly, crappy model. It got three coats of Contrast Gryph-Charger Grey, with a bit of silver mixed into the final coat in order to give it a bit of a sheen, and make the grey distinctive from the tones I use for the flagstone bases. Basically, at this point I don’t know what this thing really is in D&D terms and don’t care enough to look it up because it’s a trash model. I’ll learn what it is when we have to fight it, I guess…

The final models are also trash models. a sextet of Intellect Devourers. Very much Contrast Paint to the rescue here. Whatever. They’re painted and finished.

And here we are – a set of 10 D&D boardgame models from The Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Even the trash models in their painted form will help to enhance the game over green or purple plastic, I guess. So there’s that. There’s still plenty more where these came from, though…

June 2020: Personal Painting Wrap-Up.

June was a busy painting month for me. Largely due to the implementaion of “The Tray” and allowing myself to override The Tray with models for the D&D board games Marouda and I have been playing, which has inflated my total painting with a lot of what I’ll generously call variable quality models, many of which have been very fast to paint. So many in fact that the total for the month was 56 models. Now before anyone gets too excited about that, remember quite a few of them are quite simple boardgame models, and so as long as they look good (or even just decent) on the tabletop, they’re good enough but still count numerically the same as the gigantic Mudgullet or the Legion of the Damned Librarian covered in freehand.

Anyway, enough of all that. 26 (I think) painted in April, 46 models in May and 56 in June. So that brings me to 128 models completed in those three months since I started painting again. I’ve just shown a couple of July’s models so far due to painting challenges that needed them shown ASAP (the Aquila and Mossbeard), so now it’s onto showing what I’ve been painting in the last almost-two weeks, starting tomorrow.

In the meantime, enjoy more pictures of June’s stuff.
