Dungeons and Dragons Castle Ravenloft Villains - Complete Painted Set

Well, I finally managed to get out and use the cleared table to take some photos yesterday. Here’s the entire set of Villains models from the Castle Ravenloft board game – complete!

Dungeons and Dragons Castle Ravenloft Villains - Complete Painted Set

Now, it’s not the entire set of models from the game, as I haven’t completed any of the hero models aside from the Dancing Dragonborn as I felt the hero models were overall sub-par. I am slowly working on a few of those as well, so when (if?) I manage to complete them all, I’ll do another post.

If you’re interested in seeing more focused pics of any of the individual models, they can be found by browsing the “Dungeons and Dragons” category. I’ll have the Completed Ashardalon Villains up shortly, but I might (briefly) show some models that I’ve recently completed from outside the D&D sets as the next couple of posts…

D&D Miniatures, The Legend of Drizzt - Hunting Drakes

Another quick one from the D&D Board Game series today – Hunting Drakes! I asked Marouda what colour I should go with and she told me “blue”. I wanted to use Contrasts on them, and wanted to go with something that wasn’t too strong a blue, so I used Terradon Turquoise over the spray prime of grey-white, followed by a drybrush of GW Sotek Green (?!), and then Sotek Green ligthened with Vallejo Ivory. The “bone” parts were done with Contrast Skeleton Bone, and then given a subtle highlight once dry with Vallejo Bonewhite.

This is the sort of thing that Contrast Paints are perfect for. Sure, I could have done much the same with traditional means of basecoat and washes and highights, but using Contrasts did allow me to finish these fast, and I think the models do have a bit more …contrast to them as well – which may not suit everything, but does suit these particular models well.

Done! Quick and Easy and Effective!
