D&D Monster Manual 77: The Legend of Drizzt – Drow Wand Mage & Final Duellist

D&D Monster Manual. The Legend of Drizzt - Drow Wand Mage, Drow Duellists

A few days ago we were discussing which board game to play next. One of the suggestions was The Legend of Drizzt Dungeons and Dragons Adventure Boardgames, since we haven’t played any of these for a couple of years. Given that I’m trying to get the last models for Drizzt painted with the main difficulty being motivation, I knew getting back into the game would be the best way to get that happening. Ergo, some models from the set!

The first two I’ve painted are the “Drow Wand Mage” and the third of the three Drow Duellists (the one that I’d lost and later found).

I forgot to paint in the gemstones on both of these models before I took the photographs, so rest assured that I’ve now painted those in. The Mage has a scaly cloak that I painted in the same manner as the Hunting Drakes from the same set, so emjoy this photograph of the Mage with the Hunting Drakes alongside the now reunited and complete three Drow Duellists. Despite being sculpted with chewing gum, the Mage still managed to have a face slightly reminiscent of Hugo Weaving as Elrond.

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.
