Elemental my dear chap...

Nearly ready to play the next instalment in my mini-campaign, set in the Ramalian mountains near Orc's Drift!
As you may know I'm looking forward to testing out Dave's magic rules which didn't get a look in during my last game - A Miner Engagement.

To that purpose I surmised that my budding magicians will need things to summon if they're going to do a bit more than chuck fireballs around at each other - so I painted this!

The old citadel Earth Elemental - again another impulse buy on ebay for a few quid! Luckily I had an old scenic base lying around which was rather fun and easy to create the effect of the elemental bursting from the ground - you could tell that's what he was doing right?!

Thought I'd also include a teaser pic from the upcoming game, Escape from the Larder of Doom!!!

Will the Gnomish wizard be squashed by the looming elemental or is he summoning the being to do his bidding... Cue dramatic music! 

Can you dig it?!

Gnoming me, gnoming you...

A-haaa!

So I've been totally distracted from the Orc's Drift project again! This time I've been painting a few minis I wanted to use in my next game of Skulldred, now that Dave's tweaked the magic system.

If you remember we left what was left of our Dwarf heroes holed up in their newly dug mine with a horde of Orcs waiting hungrily outside... So I figured the little guys might want a little help if they are to escape and what could be better than - some littler guys!

I landed these wee fellows off ebay ages ago for quite a bargain and they've sat neglected till now -

Glimtwiss Greenfinger - Gnome Elementalist

Dibber Trowelson - Gnome Hero

Allam Smallmarsh - Gnome Warrior

Herb Slugsbane - Gnome Warrior

And finally Griebel Birdscarer - Gnome Shootist (you may have seen him before but he's had a change of hat colour since...)

So its off to do some bedtime reading on the new Skulldred magic rules now!
