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.

D&D Dungeons and Dragons Monsters - Tomb of Annihilation – Vegepygmies and Batiri Goblins

As I noted the other day, I was looking through some containers of models in December and found the Zombicide Crowz – in that same container, I found the Vegepygmies and Batiri Goblins – from the Tomb of Annihilation D&D board game, and decided to put in the (small) amount of required effort to get them painted up!

As someone who’s really not a D&D player, I’m only vaguely familiar with a lot of their monsters – and I also have to assume that some D&D monsters are tied to some specific settings/worlds, but I also understand that a lot of people’s actual campaigns feature a mix of whatever the DM feels like throwing in at the time. Anyway, that’s a long-winded way of simply stating that I’d never heard of either of these races. The colourful one of these Vegepygmies is the Chief!

The three Batiri Goblins all had the same sculpt, so I just painted their decoration featuring different colours. It won’t have any gameplay effect other than perhaps “move the goblin two spaces closer – yeah, the red one”.

You can see here that they’re all pretty small. I’ve got them here next to a Khorne Bloodbound from AoS and a D&D Nolzur’s Dragonborn – and even a 15mm Flames of War model. Allowing for the variation in base sizes, you can see just how small these models are. Still, they’re done and we’re one step (or seven small steps!) closer to playing Tomb of Annihilation!

…I really need to finish off the last models from the Drizzt game so we can play it this year!
